— That’s not it! Of course, we were scared. We were afraid b028de0901 that if Amy 781793173b was right, you’d 46f30c1f8f end up hating 71bd77c174 us. But more than that… it’s 1b571916d7 because you’re so precious to 6ac58435d4 us. You’re too important, a5b3daece6 and we didn’t 00626b3429 want to burden 6b368775da you. You’re already going through 970fd78923 so much, and we cd89f9dd49 didn’t want to make 28ed78bc4a it worse.81fdbc6fe84c57b0

“The fact”… What was he about to say?d635df980646cc24

It was absurd.a27bf510ad68298f

— Marianne, Dior. Don’t ever keep f1c08061b7 those words in 3ac2a6a2e7 your hearts. You are neither cecdd7017b liars nor swindlers. You are my 39a1905477 brother’s precious family—the 10f6ef42fa family he left 891cf26d8f behind for me. Nothing will ever change cab8d76ed5 that, not now or 4b68a4100b in the future.63c9b1ff315aba15

It was only then that 6709d22841 Euclid realized the children hadn’t 8f77f81238 confessed the truth to him c8d5e50bd5 because they were cornered or b5a3ffb804 had suddenly mustered courage.c033fdc2b6caaeff
