Doll didn't exactly pick this one-- she woke up with it just like this, and it would have been better in some other area but here they were. Studding the worst part of her face, and potentially more gems were on the way to perhaps cover her entire scar. Would she feel better about that? She's not really sure.

But more to the point--

Her face turns pink when she feels Tamaki wipe one of her eyes, and her heart thumps extra hard in her chest. What a caring gesture, what a tender thing to do-- and to call her strong on top of that? It's enough to make her squirm and blush. But for some reason, she can't find her usual denial or subject change.

"Yeah, well... Ya make it easy," she says finally, fidgeting with her fingers. "I'd trust ya with anythin', Tamaki."

And she's almost certain that he'd never betray her like Smile had. This isn't the time to think about him, though, she's over the moon. Elated. She wants to cry in relief and throw rocks as hard as she can towards the sun-- Tamaki said she's strong.

Before she can change her mind, she steps up to Tamaki's side and stretches up, reaching to put a kiss on his cheek.
