[There's something in him, at that. A visible hesitation, the unsteady downwards curl of his lips and there's a moment when his grip on the other boy's hand loosens, when it seems as though he'll refuse. But then he thinks of Mother, of the misshapen atrocities she's made and which they are forced, again and again, to fight. Thinks of all the things he lacks but which Heine and Lily have. They can look after themselves. He cannot. Still, he can't just turn his back on them without asking, just once--] Do you p-promise your Mother will come for them? I can't leave them here...I n-need to save them, too. [Even as some part of him knows that Lily is too far gone for that, that the violence in her is too big too bright too unstable for her to make it outside of this place.]

Of course.

[ Rachel would be too busy, but he would come. He was her shining boy, after all - the most powerful, the one with the greatest destiny.

If they did manage to rescue Lily, Rachel would have other plans for her. But that is not something known to both of them at this time. ]

When you get stronger, you can come with me too.

[And just like that his grip on the other boy's hand tightens again, becomes more resolute. It's enough for him, the promise, and his own big wide fear makes him aware of an immediacy in his need for escape.] All right. [Even if he doesn't necessarily believe he'll ever be anything more than a fragile, broken thing.] We s-should go. Before She comes back. [And then quietly, as an after thought--] I'm G-Giovanni.

My name is Julius.

[ He turns at the sound of metal scraping in the distance. ][ The two of them run out of the facility, Julius using his vines to break down doors and any barriers in their way. Soon, they would be free... or as free as they could in a world of ultimately dreams. ]
