It works to get Akira to settle down some, though, good for Scaramouche. He's back to being stunned like before, even if the tears continue to come. Not having emotion-sharing during these does not spare him from being able to understand how Scaramouche must feel.
This man is always crying though, gotdam. At least he's not in such a frantic state anymore, which Scaramouche knows how to deal with even less than he knows how to deal with Just Normal Crying Akira. The unfinished sentence is just met with a simple:]
Stop crying already. I don't have one.
[He doesn't wish for one anymore, either. All he needs is his gnosis baybee!!]
[He has a lot of tears to go around. Might be dehydrated. It's fine. Maybe if MORE fucking people would be normal and CRY to show some EMOTION, he wouldn't have to do it QUITE as often.
He covers his face with both hands as if this will shield him from the Niagara Falls of tears.]
I'm sorry.
[That he doesn't have a heart. The tin woodman.......]
[STOP listen. It's just his lot in life to be surrounded by the emotionally constipated! Sometimes it happens.]
For what? [THE TIN WOODMAN. He can guess well enough what the sorry is for, though.] If you're sorry that I don't have one, don't be. I'm better off than those who have to deal with one.
[Satan just out there somewhere like "wow this group is having a time huh" as they all have 2 year old meltdowns and also kill each other.
Anyway wow why is Akira just throwing the words that Nahida will eventually throw at him in the future. He hates hearing them! He will choose to ignore them! Goodbye.]
What you saw were the boring feelings of something too foolish to understand anything important just yet. Don't waste your time considering it.
[Satan is the cool 80s thumbs-up guy on the nihilism meme.]
That's why you were crying.
[Scaramouche was literally not crying, but whatever. It is the Metaphorical Vibes of it which matter.]
You've been hurting. [He lifts his head.] Don't give up on them. Humans. Even if they leave, don't give up on them. Some of the most important people to me were humans. And even though they were taken from me, it doesn't change how they made me feel.
Also he hates this so much and abruptly decided that he's done humoring Akira!!]
How good for you. [BINCH.] But these memories? Mean nothing to me. They're from a life I left behind when I ascended to godhood. Whatever you think you see burned to ash along with the existence that once called itself Kunikuzushi. [Even though they're in a DARK PIT he manages to convey such an imperious air as he stares Akira down and continues.]
Humans are worthless. No amount of whining or talking about your good humans, your different humans, will convince me otherwise when I know the divine and undeniable truths of this world.
[Looks to the sky. The most Ryo behavior is happening over and over in every thread.
Akira stares at him, bewildered by the familiar resistance. Tears threaten his eyes, but they thankfully don't bother falling. Scaramouche is hurt and hurting.]
Is... that your name? Kunikuzushi?
[He really picked the most volatile thing to focus on, didn't he? Wow.]
[STOP LISTEN IT'S NOT MY FAULT HELP. THISIS SO FUNNY. AKIRA GOING THROUGH IT.
Meanwhile Scaramouche just out here being his normalass cursed self without any inkling... Very funny. His expression falls flat at that, though. Why is Akira like this!!]
It's like you're asking me to kill you sometimes, you know? [Tragically he finds Ryo tolerable enough to not want to take away his favorite foot sniffer. WITH A VERY PUT-UPON SIGH:]
It's as much my name as any other name I've had before and after it. Why do you focus on the most ridiculous of things?
[Yeah, sometimes you're kind of a himbo, so you end up asking all the dumbest questions at the worst times. But guess what, baby, that's the power of kindness! This bad boy can fit so much EMPATHY in him.]
Because I... [Well, Scaramouche already knows about the demon. Unfortunately.] Because everyone gave you hell about what to call you for a name, but you never picked yourself.
[THIS BAD BOY CAN FIT SO MUCH DUMBASSERY but also empathy... The duality of himbo. This is so funny though. THE DEMON. He really does know.
He also just rolls his eyes.]
I said that Scaramouche is fine. Not Scara, not any other ridiculous nickname. Scaramouche.
[Does he like that name? No! However, everyone lost their naming him privileges the second Filbo called him Buddy in front of god and satan. Anyway he's not about to tell Akira that he was never given a name when he was first made because that's just asking for trouble with this fuckin guy.]
He has too much empathy, as said, to call Scaramouche anything other than what is said even though HE DOESN'T LIKE THAT NAME. That's how it be for a soft boy.]
Okay.
[Back to the regularly scheduled broadcast.]
There are good humans. Don't be like Ryo. Don't hate the humans. They're just scared to die, but they all will one day. And the only people left will be us to remember them.
You're being stubborn. You have a heart. Ryo does, too. I know he does. I wouldn't be able to feel him hurting if he didn't.
[Forgot they were in a hole, but it can spit them back out now. Otherwise, he and Scaramouche would be down here arguing endlessly about the same thing until the ends of time. Remember how we went on a 30 minute spiral at the death of the universe video. That's how long they'll be arguing about whether humans are worth loving.]
[HELP NOT THE FUCKING DEATH OF THE UNIVERSE AGAIN IT'S TOO TRUE. But fortunately for Scaramouche at least, they get spat back out of the hole... He lands with a bit of a stumble, still SCOWLING.]
Don't talk to me about this nonsense again.
[He's literally just turning and stalking off after that girl help me.]

no subject
He rubs stubbornly at his eyes. He really did have a whole two year old meltdown right in front of Satan and Scaramouche. But! He feels better now...]
You have one, [he murmurs, reaching up to curl his fingers into his own chest.] I saw it...
When your friend dying hurt you... When the people you tried to help used you... There wouldn't... be any pain if there wasn't a heart.
