[ Even if she doesn't know Akira well yet, she can tell that he's fidgeting. He isn't sure what to say. Is it because he's having second thoughts? Or did she catch him off guard? Maybe she should have kept this to herself; the last thing she wanted to do was make things awkward between them.
Lux opens her mouth to speak, intending to try to diffuse the heavy air with something a lighthearted jab at herself. But Akira beats her to the punch, doing so with a smile that completely floors her. She doesn't follow his gaze at first, too dumbfounded because no one's ever reacted that way before. Even admitting what she is over the network, she was met with an (understandable) terse response. Lux has no idea what to do with this. It's unexpected. ]

[ The words tumble out quietly, as she pulls her attention away from him to watch the scene play out in front of them. She can't be certain yet, and she knows that this is all just temporary, but... ]
It almost feels like being given a second chance at life. [ A small, quietly grateful smile catches in her eyes. ] It would be terrible to waste it while we have it, wouldn't it?
