I’m not saying that! [His voice pitches, but then he looks like he tries to level it back because he doesn’t wanna yell, not at her.] You’re not the bad guy.
[Both sides really, but a lot of Harrow’s side because he has unfortunately taken on the burden of humanity, and the world, and also carrying a certain someone else’s emotions like it’s somehow his job.]
[He puts his drink down near him so he can sit with her.]
He told me. I said I wasn't sure what everything would be like, or if I'd ever make it, but... I'd think about it. He said he wanted me to be okay even if he went back, but I...
[He frowns and looks away.]
I was an idiot, and I got upset about that too. Because I thought he was trying to keep me as a replacement in case the Akira he went back to died, too.

You talked to Ryo about this.
no subject
I did, yeah. Before I knew the two of you were fighting or whatever. I don't want him to rot, either.
no subject
[Softly, sincerely.]
He asked me if I would go to another world with someone else if it was possible.

[a pause, and then she reaches out to grab at him. sit down with her.]

It's not like I can blame you. I've got something like fifteen years of assuming the worst, too.
[lmao]
That's not the impression I got from him. I do think he's going about it like a fucking moron, though.
no subject
Thank God I’m not the only one. I was starting to this I was. There are so many people here exactly like him, and I thought I was the one going crazy.
no subject
He and Harrow are really similar. So no, you're not crazy.
no subject
Right?

She's the worst. [and also her favorite.]
no subject
He elbows back.]
Ryo, too. So what else you got?
no subject
I don't know - nothing, really. It's the same as it was, I'm just allowed to hold her hand now.
no subject
Hand holding, huh? What about kissing? It’s not legit until there’s kissing.
no subject
Yeah, yeah, I've kissed her. What, did I not tell you?
no subject
What?! No way! Gideon! You’ve been holding out on me, what the hell?! Have you really kissed…?!
no subject
Well - she kissed me first, but I usually do it more, now.
no subject
She kissed you first?! No shit?
no subject
Yeah - yeah, a few weeks ago. She drank the no filter drink and it - you know.
[this is too embarrassing, apparently]
no subject
He blinks, and then he laughs even if there is a tiny hint of nervousness at the end.]
She told you everything, huh?
no subject
I also told her everything. [she will not be telling him what that is but listen] It's the only time the drinks have done anything good for me.
no subject
He smiles weakly, but it’s genuine and in his eyes.]
I’m glad. It’s nice, right? I mean, you two are good?
