[This is actually so sweet what the hell. Matsui's a little struck by the care here, even though he knows D is far from religious, even traumatically.
It does help, a little. Maybe not the prayer itself so much as who is saying it and what he is saying and why. But it does help. Matsui is quiet for a few long seconds after the last amen, hands still within D's and eyes still closed.
Then, he takes a deep breath and he opens them again, looking to D's face.]
...Thank you. It means much to me.
[That D would pray for him, and for Buzen, and hope for such goodness for them when they're such flawed things. Created by humans to slay humans.]
You’re welcome. I’m glad. I may not be a Christian, but I think putting faith in God during the times you feel he has abandoned you are more important than any other.
[Hehe. Strangely, the act of praying is rather comforting??? Like chanting a mantra, or counting mala beads.
Matsui’s hands get another gentle squeeze, and then he reaches one of his own out to reassuringly brush Matsui’s cheek.]
If you and Buzen are feeling a little better later, you should join us. We would enjoy having you there.
[IT REALLY IS SOOTHING... Matsui isn't even a real Catholic he's just a fake lyinass Catholic but he genuinely does feel a little less uhhh about to fly off the handle and stab the nearest thing that moves wrong in his vicinity.
The touch is also grounding, and in a way similar to Buzen, he leans into it a little. Not overly-much. Just enough to convey his comfort and appreciation.]
...Mm. [Perhaps there is something to it... Prayer! Wild!] --If Buzen wishes to go, I will accompany him.
[AND BUZEN DOES BECAUSE HE'S A FUCKIN STEPFORD SMILER.]
[Sweet Matsui!! He lowers his hand and pats Matsui's, and then he carefully stands up like a haunting Christmas Carol ghost except I for some reason forgot to send him to the curfew like this. It's fine.]
Good. Please take care of yourself. I'm going to go make sure Rang isn't acting like a fool.
