His eyes filled up with tears as he smiled brightly, running down the stairs and throwing his arms around Janus, hugging him tightly

"....You're heartbroken. I get it-it sucks loving someone so much and not knowing if they love you in return-worse, having them leave you behind-...but.....if you can't love someone for who they are, only who you want them to be....then you can't really love at all....there's more to life than just illusion-maybe you should consider finding someone you can care for without a mask...without a spell to hide behind."
