Truly human admiration!

ㅤ Leia's heart fluttered at the mere sight of Milla. Although she had an ordinary human body, her every movement was clear and graceful, without any unnecessary movements. Even deprived of her strength, she always stood proud, not only confidently looking to the future but also moving toward it, no matter what. She charmed, inspired, and instilled confidence—in the future, in herself, in goodness and justice. Inspired, Leia would always pick up her staff whenever possible and train enthusiastically, not knowing how else to get rid of her excess energy in a useful way. At such moments, she was especially full of life. This was what attracted Milla. She watched with genuine interest, trying to grasp the boundless human potential. Leia was so engrossed in her training that she never noticed how she was being watched. Just like Milla, she attracted too many glances to single out just one. They would have continued to discreetly observe each other if one day, while grocery shopping, Leia hadn't started playing with the persistent children, teasing and entertaining them. Milla felt the same surge of energy in her, relaxedly following Leia's gaze. She smiled at the ringing laughter. "You're so human," it somehow burst from her lips. Leia shuddered and blushed, looking into his kindly, contented eyes. Milla didn't realize how deeply her words had impressed her, because she continued matter-of-factly: "That's what I like about you." Milla could identify the positive traits in anyone. For her, people were like children, as beloved as spirits. But to Leia, Milla was everything. The ideal she aspired to. So it was her praise that touched her more than anything else, piercing her very heart and spreading warmth and happiness, reflected in a wide smile she couldn't have suppressed, no matter how hard she tried. And she tried! Because she felt foolish, her cheekbones almost cramping from her ridiculous smile. "You have no idea how amazing you are!" Leia finally managed to say, fighting the corners of her lips, her smile becoming more natural. And less painful. "Why not?" Milla chuckled, straightening up proudly. "I'm very well aware of that. After all, I created this body just like that—attractive! After all, inside of it still me—Maxwell! How could it be otherwise?" Leia laughed, wiping away the tears that had welled up. "It's true. I wish I had your self-confidence!" Now, every time she looked at Milla, meeting her gaze and sharing a smile, Leia felt inspired, moving forward as if there had never been any obstacles before her. Even if the world around her sometimes sobered her up… ㅤ
