I don't know if there was anything going on behind the scenes, but even if there was—

...I think she meant well. It's just, well.

No changing the way it ends.

[forgottenmercy]

[agreement] ...no. There isn't...

[softlyfalling]

...I think I'm going to find out soon enough, though, what it looked like.

Do you think I'm ready to face it?

[forgottenmercy]

[nods] I, ah, do...

[softlyfalling]

...yeah.

I used to think—knowing that would break me, and yet I chased after it anyway, but—

...I think, now, I can accept it. Whenever it comes. Whatever comes.

[forgottenmercy]

I will, ah, try to be with you, when you do find it...

[softlyfalling]

...I'll probably see if I can round up some people in... I don't know, the next day or so. See if I can find it. It just feels like it's about time.

[forgottenmercy]

[softlyfalling]

...even for, ah, all those things. Even for those things which, ah, seem never-ending...

[softlyfalling]

Right. So—

I guess what I'm saying is that Hiroto can shut the fuck up.

[forgottenmercy]

[kind of a startled, breathy little giggle, mouth hidden behind his hand demurely]

[softlyfalling]

We'll get it sorted out.

Keep running, in the meantime, all right?

[forgottenmercy]

I will, ah, do my best...

[softlyfalling]

I'll see you when it's over.

...not least because I think I know a few members of his unit who'd open the door for me, at minimum just to see what would happen.

[forgottenmercy]

Hopefully it, ah, won't come to that, but that is good to know...
