[Stop calling him out, thanks... He looks away, but thoughtfully. A frown thins his lips, a wry thing. It takes a moment before he looks at Matsui again.]
Yes, but... I suppose that is why I was told there are two of us. My fa... [His brows furrow.] My son and I.
Though I don't believe I should be here regardless. So I must go back, so there will always be two.
Also look he doesn't mean to call D out, but it's just what makes sense for him...]
I can understand that, as well. [HE SHOULDN'T BE IN A HUMAN AFTERLIFE?? Something happened here.] ...I am sorry that you've been burdened in such a way, though. I hope that you are able to return to your son and continue your work.
[He also feels a little tiny bit guilty because not even D's desire to go back to his son and his duty will keep Matsui from mcdying if Buzen does.]
[THE WAY MATSUI IS JUST DIPPING OUT SO FAST? Don't run away, he can smell your lack of self-esteem.]
You aren't any bother. I don't mind if you ever would like company. But you're welcome.
[Matsui's hand gets another light squeeze, and then he lets go so Matsui doesn't feel like he has to stay. He isn't an expert on animals not to understand some people will skittishly zoom away to avoid acknowledgment.]
[D REALLY OUT HERE LIKE MATSUI IS A SKITTERISH RACCOON. That's fair, honestly. If it weren't for the laws of this touch week, he'd have skittered on off the second his hand was squeezed. But he'll let this happen and wait for D to release him before he steps back.]
Thank you... I'll keep that in mind.
[Somewhere far away from here BYE!! He's not running you're running.]

It must be strange for you to be here, then.

WAIT YOU CAN'T DIE YOU STUPID ASS SWORD THEY NEED AS MANY PEOPLE AS THEY CAN GET TO TRY GETTING BUZEN BACK FOR YOU, DUMBASS THE POINTS]
Perhaps this is the space of time between the end and the return. I can only hope. A blip I won't remember when I take my first breath again.

Also don't worry about it it's fine. His head dips a little and he's silent for a moment.]
What a poetic framing... I should hope for the same, then.

If we all work together, it shall be. Even if one of us is erased, the rest of us have an opportunity to bring them back, but not without each other.
[This has the same energy as the "looks at the swords but not at any one in particular" blimp ride.]

Certainly so... [WELL ANYWAY BYE.] --In any case, I've taken up more than enough of your time. Thank you for hearing me out.
