[ He's quiet for a moment before he sighs, looking off to the side. ]
I... wanted to apologize. For how things happened in the adventure. [ He really doesn't want to talk about it—wants to forget it ever happened—but first. ] You sacrificed your heart to make sure we succeeded and then.
He visibly looks absolutely baffled at receiving this apology. Is Rin cursed?! Does Rin have a fever?! He can't even pretend to check Rin's temperature because he thinks it'll make Rin angry and fussy even if he's only teasing.]
You don't have to apologize. None of what happened to us was real. Like with the detective, it was a way to show us what if. The fact you did not want to do such things means you're human.
As soon as I saw Yeon and the Cloud Retainer, I knew it was a mission we would not find victory in. Not when you and Miss Shenhe are human. Not when Rang has disagreeable circumstances with his brother.
Not when they were put on opposite sides. It was something I accepted.
[He raises his arms and beckons Rin.]
A captain is only as good as the team which supports them by working together.
[ He doesn't ask, "then why did you kill Chris and the detective?" because that seems cruel, but it's obvious that he's not quite satisfied with the explanation.
Imagine he just snaps Rin's neck after he relaxed into the hug (no). He just wants to give Rin a little bit of a hug because Rin is so weenie and normie.]
Yes, but in the process I had to sacrifice innocent people. Including the people you also cared for; I was going to kill them, too, and I know you understood that.
I'm not obligated to say whether the ends justify the means. The duty I have is similar, so... it was merely easier for me is all.
Well, you are. I could throttle you sometimes for being so dense.
[He hmphs and turns his head away.]
It wasn’t about the earth, I said already. [Stops very suddenly and gets in front of Rin very suddenly. Jabs him in the chest.] …It was about all of us dying there!
[He looks SO offended he's being called idiot and also thwacked despite doing the literal same exact thing himself before. Ow! He pushes lightly at Rin's arm.]

No, it's just Rin standing there dramatically because he's an idiot. ]
Hey. Thanks for coming.
no subject
Are you alright...?

He just frowns. ]
Just because it wasn't real doesn't mean it didn't hurt. And it doesn't mean that the effort you put in doesn't matter.
[ ... But also. He doesn't want to make D think about what he did. ]
But if that's how you want to think about it, that's fine. I just wanted to get this off my chest.

Still, he walks over with the frown. ]
I wasn't worried about being a good captain.
no subject
It’s fine. Instead, he shocks Rin by giving Rin a hug.]
You were worried about being a good person.
no subject
anyway, he's surprised at the hug, but he'll relax into it easily enough. ]
Good people can't always protect anything. You're the one who was trying to do that. Like you do with your shop.

no subject
... Why did you try then? If you knew we'd fail?
no subject
[And to do what he thought they could not.]
The planet was quaking. I… didn’t know if it would be destroyed with us on it.
no subject
[ i assume the hug is over so he's just going to rub his neck ]
That's just like you.
no subject
I wasn't exactly worried about the earth like you think.
[Dumbass.]
I did say we were on it.
no subject
[ huffs ]
It's important too. It's a good thing you were worried about it.
no subject
I wasn’t worried about the planet!
no subject
he holds his head ]
Ow! What are you so mad about?!
no subject
[Turns around.]
no subject
walks next to him. ]
What is it, then?
no subject
[He hmphs and turns his head away.]
It wasn’t about the earth, I said already. [Stops very suddenly and gets in front of Rin very suddenly. Jabs him in the chest.] …It was about all of us dying there!
no subject
Rin just stares at him. ]
I know that, idiot. You could be worried about both at the same time.
[ gives him a thwack too ]
I'm not that stupid that I thought you weren't worried about us.
no subject
I wasn't...! ...Worried.
no subject
That's not what you were saying two seconds ago. You care about us, weren't you encouraging me to realize that just a little while ago?
no subject
You…! Hmph!
[Turns around to walks away fastly!!!]
no subject
Just follows him. ]
Why are you running away? Embarrassed?
