[Ever since Roi disappeared five years ago, Temenos hardened his heart against the cruelty and uncertainty of the world. It's become so hard to speak openly about his sorrows, preferring to keep them hidden from others. He never wanted anyone to worry about his woes. They would just cloud his judgment and make his job difficult, anyway.
His walls have been chipped at bit by bit during his time here, however. Wang Lu had offered his shoulder after the trial that nearly killed Beelzebub, and he had taken it to calm himself down.
Something in him finally shatters and gives way completely as Beelzebub pulls him in for an embrace and says those powerful words to him. He leans in easily, pressing his face into Beel's chest to...allow himself to weep. The grief, the anger, the guilt, the longing- he releases everything that had been tightly bottled up inside into the light.
It's okay to let it hurt- to miss them. And so he does.]
