Chapter 475 – Just Use Your Words
Her lashes fluttered. Her voice came out small, like a soft cloud brushing across the surface of a lake.
"But I don't like crowded places."
He stilled.
"I like you," she added, barely above a whisper. "And Sira. And now… Naomi. I like it here. I want to be with you. But…"
Her hand moved to grip his sleeve.
"…I don't want crowded places. They suck my energy. It's too loud. Too much. I don't like it."
Lux just stared at her for a long moment.
Right.
She was Sloth's daughter. Not lazy—never that. Just… wired differently. Stillness wasn't weakness. It was protection. Crowds weren't parties. They were emotional landmines.
He placed his hand over hers, warm and steady.
"Alright," he said finally. "That's fair."
Her fingers tightened a little.
"But," he added softly, "if you ever need me—if you want company—you have to tell me. No silent suffering, Lulla. Just use your words."
