There's no need to fear the past. The past is just a memory.

Yeah, the Hooters had some pretty crazy stuff. I'll make sure the report's thorough for tomorrow.

[ of course he can tell fukuzawa is somewhere else from time to time, and he nudges him a little. ]

Hey... what's going on, hm? You seem a little distracted. [ a beat ] You know you can talk to me...

[allmenare]

...It's nothing, just a thought.

[A thought about the clues from the cemetery, the fire, the strange arrangement of objects in an unusually perfect semi-circle...]

It just feels like... today is going to be the last day we can be this carefree.

[ eiden squeezes his arm a little bit. ]

... Are you scared?

[allmenare]

Not scared, no. I was prepared for this possibility.

But I have things I would miss now, if they were taken away.

[So yes, he's scared of what could happen tomorrow.]

[silicone]

Yukichi...

[ quietly he looks down before leaning his head a little against his shoulder. ]

We'll just have to keep fighting... for the things everyone has lost. In the hopes that maybe we won't have to lose what we care about most in the end.

[allmenare]

[He's right, but that doesn't make him feel better.]

...if you need healing, tell me now. I won't ask why you need it.

[silicone]

I don't.

[ he gives him this exact look, concern, and he stiffens a bit... ]

[allmenare]

Alright.

[He won't heal him then. But he does look a touch distressed. It's such a small reaction in him that most people would miss it, but Eiden knows how he shows his emotions by now.]
