[Rei nods, letting her fingers slide down to his shoulder and holding onto that tightly. She knows this is hard, she knows it so, so well. It's a familiar ache, and she'd hoped that he'd never feel it for his family but this was unavoidable.]
Yeah. You do. Moving forward is really the only option if you want to do more than wallow. [And she knows you. You do wallow sometimes but not when there's more at stake.]
You're not alone in moving ahead, though, Hiro. You won't be, as long as you keep being you. You've got a gift for bridging gaps, and I know Tadashi would be proud of that.
Wallowing gets pretty boring. [It's said like he's considering it, but she's not wrong. Then again, he avoids wallowing because he knows sometimes he has bad days, and those bad days make it even harder to come out of that state. Having people like her around helps tremendously.]
I'm going to have to do my best to make sure I don't disappoint anybody. Not just Tadashi, but you guys, too. You're my friends and I don't want to leave anybody else behind. And...I know you'll back me up. So thanks.
Yeah. I will. I’m not going anywhere willingly, and I’m not leaving you behind. As if I could. [From somewhere, she pulls out a basket.] I brought something. If you feel like ice cream, anyway.
[Magic basket! He actually looks a little mystified as if it really were magic and he grins just a little. The world sucks, but Rei knows how to drive a hard bargain.]
I think that depends on what kind of ice cream it is...but since you brought it all this way it'd be pretty rude not to eat it right? I think there's still clean dishes in the kitchen. [Honestly he'll probably just. Eat it out of the container with a spoon. But he can pretend he's civilized.]
