[ his cries quiet down after a minute or so as his emotions flatten out for what might be the hundredth time today. the guilt is crushing him alive, and he doesn't know what to do with it other than to try and ride it all out.
he sniffles, rubbing at his eyes with the back of his hand. ]
Is there--[ he draws in a shaky breath. ] Is there anything else you wanted?
[ because why else would yor stay there? all he can do is brace himself. ]
[ he gives yor an owlish stare, confused for a moment. and while he doesn't really understand why, he decides to ask for one last thing. something selfish. ]
Can you...um...continue looking after Suga? [ a pause. no, that's not right. ] I don't...mean protecting him from dying--I don't think anyone can do that anymore. Just make sure he eats and stuff. Doesn't do something stupid because he feels guilty. He probably hates me. [ he looks terrified just by the thought of that. but-- ] He should hate me. And...well...take care of yourself too. Yor-san. Um...that's it. I think.
...You're someone very important to him. Whether or not that changed, I wanted to give you a chance.
[Besides, he'll face punishment for what he did, even if it isn't at her hands.]
If you and Riku end up in the same place... I think you owe it to Tenn to try to look out for him. No matter how much he fears or hates you.
[She still doesn't get it entirely, the talk of the dead and how they would remain in this place, and she's not a terribly spiritual person anyway. But after coming here...
Well, if there's a chance of that, she may as well say her piece on it.]
[ he knows about the occult from a-ya, but that's about it. things like spiritualism, heaven or hell...well, he's never gave it much thought until now. and the idea of c-ta, a murderer, ending up in the same place as someone as innocent as riku... it's a bit hard to believe.
