Made myself sad yesterday but imagining liogueimei angst (whatever the AU doesn't matter) where Meis and Lio have a convo and basically Meis says Lio doesn't /love/ them
"You like the idea of us sticking with you till the end, you like the concept of the Mad Burnish trio"

Lio: "you know I'd do anything for you guys"

Meis: "Like you'd so for any burnish of oeoole you think need help. That's how you are.But don't confuse that with love. It'll save all three of us a heartache."

And at first Lio is so overwhelmed he doesn't manage to reply.
