[It's painful not to see familiar bright blue eyes when he looks into America's face, but England forces himself to keep eye contact. Or, what he's fairly certain is eye contact.

America is too young to understand it, but England knows what he's feeling — what most nations would be feeling right now. What England himself is feeling. But America can't feel that way. It's— it's not right. And it's so confusing for a child; it's confusing and unfair, but even still, England hopes it remains that way, if only because coming to understand it is irreversible and America isn't equipped to cope with that.

(Truly, England isn't equipped to cope with it either. The previous night was proof enough of that.)

So, as much as it twists his stomach to do so, as much as he knows that the case is completely the opposite, England lies.] It's all right— you'll be all right.
