[ ... it's funny. he had a similar conversation, earlier this week, with nier. not about something that happened here, but.
he reaches up and runs a hand through his hair, just to get rid of some of that excess energy. ]
... I can't be the person to forgive you. That's on Sieghart-san, when we bring him back, and... that's on you to forgive yourself, too. But, I can weigh the person I know here - [ short tempered, sure, but short tempered like him. caring enough to reach out to him when he was furious in a way he needed. the person who backed him up in that memory hellhole a few days ago, who helped him when he was hit with the grief of having to walk away from his brother like a truck, who he has spent so much time getting to know, and getting closer to, bit by tentative bit, every day here. ] - and decide that even if you did it, I'm not shying away from you, either.
[ a quiet little huff, then. it's not quite a normal ichiro smile, just tired around the edges (sometimes you gotta cap off your hell week with finding out one of your favorite people here did a murder not of their own volition) but the smile is there, and it's genuine as he looks at her. ] ...besides. It's pretty brave that you told me. You could've just lied to me, right now, could've sat on it forever, and instead you risked all kinds of shit just to get us a little information to try and figure this out. And you were gonna risk it, right? [ with the dorm. that must have been what the conversation with iris was about. ] That takes guts.
If it's you, and Caiman, then that might be a pattern. Winter to fall. That's something we might be able to figure out, and maybe even anticipate. It matches the seasons here, too. It might even explain why Kon's memory power wouldn't work. We might even be able to test it out, on you, if you're willing, to get that proven, too.
It's a start, and that's something. It already happened, so let's use it to tear this shit apart. Yeah?
