[ william is still parsing his own emotions on the matter. albert has been so closely bound to him for such a long time, and a part of him chafes at him finding someone else. it's new and unfamiliar, illogical, and his brows knit briefly.
but this -- isn't this what william has intended, of a sort? that he will take on their sins so that his brothers will find happiness in a new world. and for albert, tortured and in pain because of his stubborn kindness. that he has found someone who loves him, and whom he loves in return.
at length, william decides to be honest. he has never technically lied to albert, and he isn't about to start. ]
There is no place for me there anymore.
