[It really, really hurts to see Liet so in pain over this. He brushes the taller man's tears away with the pad of his thumb, biting worriedly at his own lip.]

[He takes a deep breath.]

...I really think you're wrong, Liet. I. We're in Wonderland, and this is just the Queen messing with your head again. But... um. It can't hurt to try for a little while, I guess? 'Cause, like, if I'm right and this isn't real, Wonderland will change back and you'll understand. And if... if you're right...

[Liet can't be right. But if him refusing to admit the possibility is going to make Liet THIS hurt, he can pretend. Just for a couple of days.]

I like, know you want what's best for me. And... I can like, try? But I don't... I don't really know what you think is wrong with me, and, um... I don't know. I'll really try, though, ok?
