[She nods, understanding - one of her hands goes up to the top of his head, holding him. She's not a warm person. Buzen was sunshine, eager and welcoming. She's nothing like that.]
[But in circumstances like this...maybe it would be okay to do what he would do. Buzen would hold someone like this. Comfort them.]
"We'll never have to say goodbye, if I carry you with me, and me with you." [She says, after a moment.] That's what he told me. So...yes. Of course. He's still here. Even not physically...he's still here.
[Buzen is someone Itsuki's felt so much happiness with honestly, his presence really is sunshine.
But Hot Pants is warm too, her honesty and the way she can see through him, her love for Buzen. He needs all of that too. He tilts his head down a little to accommodate her -- and his own feelings.]
Mm. [even if the entire world forgets for some impossible reason, he and hot pants should be enough, itsuki thinks. hot pants will fight to remember, itsuki will hold on just the same.]
I bet he has so much to say to us right now. [amused, as he affectionately squeezes her shoulder to let her know he doesn't mean any bite] Especially you, Hot Pants.
[She almost doesn't want to say "he was", even though that's true, as if uttering that alone will make the truth definite. He's not gone. Not yet. Not when the two of them are still here.]

it's why he doesn't shy away or look panicked now, instead he nods, his gaze turning a little distant.]
...I told him I wanted to be with him, and he said he wanted the same. No -- I want to be with him. No matter where he is.
[even if he's gone and broken, like sword spirits sometimes are. he huffs a little,]
...We have to remember him, so that he'll still exist, yeah?

[She turns to him, frowning a little.]
You're a sap, too.
[But its clear she doesn't mean it as an insult.]
