[ On the plus side of Alvin being honest, she won't have any reason to get mad about him for lying. Leaving out details she can forgive but flat out lying is harder to do and he would be an expert at that. She wants to press on what exactly happened, but refrained because forcing him would do no good. ]

In a sense we are cut from the same cloth. It isn't too hard to see through it once you know what it or be aware of what they have before they know themselves.

[ She's hinting at the fact he had found his place before he even realised it.

It feels heart warming to hear him say those words, to be aware that he did want him around. Presa had been worried it could have only been because he felt guilty about what happened but it is a relief for her to know that isn't the case. ]

[ Because he wasn't the only one at fault. She played a part in it because she allowed herself to give away a part of her that she was never allowed to give; her heart. ]

... I think it would be a waste if I were to refuse all help from you. The last might not be forgiven or forgotten but I do think we can build a new future, don't you? Perhaps that is the reason I have been given a second chance at life.
