*Cedric is slightly surprised by Gizelo's sudden hug, but he quickly gets over it and wraps his arms around her, holding her close*
*quietly, to her ear* You're welcome. Gizelo, don't ever think you have to keep your burdens to yourself. You're safe here, and you have friends. I'm also here for you, no matter what...
*a tear starts rolling down his cheek* ....it hurts, doesn't it? The pain... of being used as a tool.... I know... Gizelo... I understand and share that pain... I've experienced it myself... don't let it eat you up... be happy here... we're all here for you. Didn't I tell you? No one should ever be alone. Ever.
*Cedric and Gizelo continue hugging each other*
