It does. I wish I had some advice to offer on it, but all I can do is commiserate. I sometimes worry for the same reasons.
[ A fond little scratch to Kazuya's back, and then Maruki runs both hands through his own hair and stretches his arms over his head, sighing. ]
If that does happen, though... and if there's any way I can help you to talk to them and resolve things, you know you only have to ask. There's little I wouldn't do for you.
Thank you. It means a lot to me that you'd say that, and... I hope you know it's the same for me.
[That there's little he wouldn't do for Maruki. Time and time again, Maruki has proven himself someone reliable, and a good person to talk to to air fears and concerns that he hasn't been able to elsewhere. Things he can't really talk to Naoya about, because he already knows that Naoya isn't someone who'd see things through the lens of a normal person.]
I just hope that isn't something I'll have to ask to begin with.
hehe we can wrap this one.... if u wanna do something else before sleepr i'm down :3c
[ Maruki called it an impossible situation, but even that is putting it lightly. It's something he doesn't wish on anyone. Having to answer for the things you have done is difficult enough. Having to answer for the things you will do in the future can be devastating. Having to answer for things you did in another lifetime altogether?
It's ridiculous. But if he were talking to the person on the other side of it, he would still validate their experiences and feelings too.
It's all ridiculous.
He tips his head up toward the sky, breathes. They have each other's backs. That's all they can do in this reality. Hopefully they'll never have to ask for this, but if they do, it's offered. Unconditionally. That's what matters.
And then he turns back to Kazuya, smiling. ]
We'll take on whatever comes our way. Together. Now come on, show me what else the COMP can do.
