stop

i can't talk about it

but stop that

you have to be careful

[purrtagonist]

[breathes out deeply and drops his hand into his lap. his eyes slip shut for a moment, silence washing over them both. when he opens them again, his brows are furrowed in determination]

Okay.

I'll be more careful.

[resortghosts]

[More useless garbled text!

There's a couple lines of it from attempt after attempt.]

since shirou's gone watch everyone

[Pause. And then:]

i'm sorry about your role too

[purrtagonist]

[well, he already suspected that Yoshi knew. . . but. that's actual, concrete confirmation]

I've come to terms with it.

[he lays his hand flat against his chest]

Shirou was one of three people who knew about it. Atsushi and Minato are the other two.

[resortghosts]

you shouldn't do that either

i don't want to see you here

[And with that, there's the impression on the bed mattress again as Yoshi slumps, resting... probably his arms and head on it. He gives up.]

[purrtagonist]

. . .

[shifts closer to Yoshi, reaching out for his head again]

I shouldn't. . . tell people?

[resortghosts]

[He has to raise his head again to get the tablet and type.]

don't try to die

we can't do anything like this

[purrtagonist]

I won't try to die.

[. . .]

I promise.

[head pats for poor, distressed Yoshi]

[resortghosts]

good

being dead is... really useless

you can't help anyone so all you can do is watch

[His head tips down more and more as he sends the messages.]

but if you're alive you can still help everyone

so... please don't mess up like i did

[purrtagonist]

You didn't mess up. And you're not useless, if that's what you're thinking.

[he may not have used that word, but Akira can sense those feelings]

You found and shared that letter with us. That's something, isn't it?

[resortghosts]

but i can't help save anyone!

that's what i was brought here for...

i trained for this, but i didn't even last two weeks

[He's shaking again.]

[purrtagonist]

You-- [huh??]

What do you mean you trained for this?

[resortghosts]

i was supposed to be training as a thaumiel!

to help contain scps

we were all members of the foundation, so this is probably another mission, right?

so... i was probably supposed to help contain this

i was supposed to help protect this world

i wanted to help protect this world

[purrtagonist]

[. . . regardless of his own feelings on the Foundation?]

Who says that this is the end of that?

[resortghosts]

but i can't do it now

when it's important

[purrtagonist]

Who says you can't?

[resortghosts]

[ He just gets a garbled message in reply. ]

[purrtagonist]

[YOSHI. . .]

What I meant to say is. . . you just need to find another way to help. That's all.

[resortghosts]

[ The impression on the mattress just sinks as he presumably pushes his arms and face back into it. ]
