Ilia: Oh...umm h-hey there, umm i see you got some good dental work done  heheheheh... Neon I’m...

Neon (Neon cutting her off and eyes beginning to well up): I AM SO SORRY! I  was a coward and i was so scared they would find out! 

Ilia  (in her head after notice Neon’s tail): oh...

Ilia (Interrupting her with a hug): Neon! it’s OK, we were kids, I was scared too, and i lashed out, and then just kept lashing out more and more because i was scared i wouldn’t be anyone anymore without that fear and anger, but you, look at you! strutting around head held high wearing your faunus pride in a atlas academy uniform, making a real difference, the same difference i wish i could have made.

Neon (Hugging back and now crying because a fellow faunus didn’t mock or belittle her for wanting to pursue her education in her homeland): Thank you so much,
