[Rang, you self-destructive bastard. PLEASE. You really shred his nerves to pieces.
The look he offers Rang is genuinely sympathetic, a little hesitant in the way he clearly wants to say something, but he doesn't know if he should, if it'd make things worse. He lowers his hand.]
Rang... I have seen many instances of... humanity. And I know you and your brother are not entirely human, but... I'm afraid to tell you... to be the one who has to tell you, to convince you... your brother wouldn't die with you, I don't believe. That isn't... how it would work.
You know this, don't you? It hurts you.
[He can TELL.]
Why...? Why do you hate your brother so much that you'd die for it?
[His eyes flash at the mention, brows furrowing like he wants to stop listening. This is an illusion he's created himself, after all. It's the one Imoogi and his followers have fed into, so that Rang can stay by their side.
It's the only hope Rang has had for centuries.]
He abandoned me. ['why ally with your brother's most hated enemy?'] He left me on that mountain. He wasn't there when the humans burned it down and killed everything -- and then he tried to kill me when I went after them.
...He never told me why. He never apologized. [the brothers for having the literal worst communication issues ever,] He just lived for all those centuries without bothering to find me. And when I showed up again... he still didn't care. He only cares about me when I threaten that woman's life.
[he sounds so much like a child, because that is who he is in the end]
[Sweet Rang. This really does make Rang sound like just a young child, like a baby, not even in a negative way. His heart has been hurt like a child's would.
This is just big Superhell Akira and Ryo miscommunication energy, wow.]
Rang...
[He touches one of Rang's arm with a hand, offering it a small squeeze--not of reassurance, but understanding. His smile is weak and tight. It's not like he's going to try to change Rang's mind about any of that sort of bitterness.]
I'm sorry. That it happened to you. I hope you know others care about you as much as any brother would.
[IT REALLY IS AKIRYO SUPERHELL MISCOMMUNICATION AHHHHH
...the words mean more than rang could say, which his normal considering his fcking stupid tsundere ass.
he just doesn't understand affection freely given, he distrusts it actually -- it's why livio had such a hard time with him, and rin too. but with d... he can accept some measure of it, even if he's not sure he deserves it,]
I don't know about others... That sounds pretty optimistic of you?
[OTHERS???? WHY IS THAT PLURAL D???? but he's no longer looking like a hurt child, smiling instead]
