[ So much of his own journey revolved around the avoidance of death. Stopping further murders, figuring out the mystery behind the murders that had already taken place, and in the end, saving all of humanity from being dragged into the fog, turned into Shadows and warped into their own basest instincts... everything he and his friends had done was to prevent death. It's strange and awful to come so close to death so much, and he will never be accustomed to it.
They have such different perspectives. Which isn't a bad thing at all. Just strange.
Yu lets her fingers anchor him, his smile twitching up into something more real and just a little disbelieving when she explains. ]
That was kind of them. I wish the cost hadn't been so high, but I'm glad you and Yuri-san were able to do something to help them.
[ His head is really starting to hurt. Yu glances away briefly, giving it a single shake, before focusing on Rei again. ]
Since you already know... did Merlin talk to you already?
[ Given Hyoubu's take on everything, he thinks it a lot more likely that Merlin would have spoken to Rei first, though he doesn't actually know how close the two are. ]
The cost of success was negligible compared to the result. But thank you. I appreciate the sentiment.
[The dead, while dead, had still earned their rest. Releasing their spirits was the most important thing in Rei's mind. To see someone suffering was hard, but to see something who's suffering should have ceased continuing? Was blasphemous.]
Merlin told me a little. That you three fought with some sort of machine jailer that exploded. And that the prison is gone. But...what else happened? We...I mostly tried to just comfort him, honestly. And then we ended up going into our usual routine for our weekly get togethers. It's sometimes better to just forget and focus on other things. And I think he needed it.
