[There is no immediate response for Quetzalcoatl, and it's not because Rin is hesitating. She's simply still caught. Overwhelmed by the the wealth of warmth and love that spilled over from the goddess. So much that she felt bathed in it. Completely surrounded and, for the first time in her life, a little content. Never, ever has she felt so much love. The love from her mother and especially her father never even came close. The love she wanted to have for her sister could have perhaps felt similar if circumstances were not as they were.
That love touches upon Rin's loneliness in a way she didn't anticipate. It prompts her throat to close up a little, and tears to well up in her eyes before spilling down her cheeks. Quetz's love is so much that Rin cannot handle all of it. It floods her and pours out in the form of tears.]
I —
[Tohsaka can't help but sniffle as her voice wavers. She hates this. This moment of weakness she thought she was prepared for.]
Just a moment.
[Quickly she scrubs at her cheeks and and eyes with the heel of her palm. A sad attempt to dry them and collect herself. Was she wrong? To pick the side that she had? If she chooses Meridian would she be embraced by such love?
Even if she was, did Rin deserve it? No. That is what will ultimately calm her. Rin had always received so much by chance that... it wouldn't be right to accept such boundless love.]
