[he ducks his head to acknowledge her point, then looks thoughtful.]

...Kazuha got sick, and she knew she was dying. She wanted to protect me one last time. So she passed her power onto me.

[so, in the end, he didn't really escape, still]

Years of trying to protect each other, and then having to just protect myself... It made it harder, for some reason.

[disingenuous]

[ There are some similarities, but there are also some vast differences. ]

If you're used to being with someone, especially someone you loved as much as your sister, it's hard to be by yourself.

It's hard to know if it's worth it as much without her.

[Roxana puts it so succinctly. He'd be impressed if he hadn't just seen her memory, now he's just... is it sadness? resignation?

but he's willing to talk more about himself in return,]

I try not to think about it too much. I'd just start pitying myself... And it'd only make her annoyed if she knew.

[disingenuous]

I think I'd like your sister, if I ever met her. You should consider her wishes more.

[ There is only so much you can do for the dead. ]

[...]

...Yeah, I think you would have too.

[it's been years, but...

they really are similar in some ways. roxana and kazuha...]

Definitely more than you like me.

[disingenuous]

You don't know how much I like you.

[ So stop assuming. ]

[nightchild]

[hello??? but also touché,

he lets out a quick laugh,]

Alright, alright. I can take a hint.

[disingenuous]

[ She probably would like Kazuha more than Itsuki, but Roxana can only know the living. What can the dead do for her? ]

Now that that's settled, I'll be on my way.

[ Because it's not like she hasn't had dreams and nightmares about that particular memory time and time again, but it's been a while since it's been so visceral. She wants to be alone.

so i can make room for new yaywon threads ]
