[Memories or not, if there is one particular thing Lavi can pride himself on, it's noticing someone whose heart is as guarded as his own. He's seen it in Allen, in the way the young (former?) god would hold himself and smile with so many secrets that Lavi wants to pry out of him; he's seen it in many of his friends and the way most of them seemed battle-worn or seen too much to properly function without being cautious.

This man is no different.

(Were they too similar in that regard? Too guarded but willing to make friends?)

Emotions are easy for Lavi to read but not understand, simply understanding its roots but not the complexity of the layout underneath.]

Going through this, going through the attempt of finding out the reason why we've been brought here - you can't do it alone.

[He's learned in time that having comrades, not necessarily friends, can do wonders.

(He misses Izuku and Shun. He misses Cardia and Yuto.)

While Lavi can never completely trust Sion - the man is on a teetering edge of one side of the board more than the other - he knows enough that trust can mean nothing or everything depending on how Lavi would want to go through with this.

Does he accept?

Does he want to?]

Then let's hope that in time, we'd be able to grow to understand each other a bit more.

[Finally, he reaches out to accept Sion's hand. It's not a confirmation, but an acknowledgment about what can be offered to both of them.]
