Nephry... I'm not mad at you, my dear. [He sighed, instantly wanting to hit himself over the head. That's how it had seemed though, hadn't it? And he does begin to think back, now, as past memories flooded his mind. Nephry had always tagged along - or tried to - whenever he tagged along after Jade and Peony.]

I was just worried about you! If you had gotten lost, or hurt...I would have never been able to forgive myself! I'm sorry if I made you upset, but I just wish to protect you, little one. You are my very good friend, after all. Please, don't cry...
