[shakes his head and steps aside, clearing the way into his room]

No. It's okay.

Come on in.

[wrongtiming]

[He does so, then, giving a small nod.]

I just thought... You know, if you wanted to talk about it.

[purrtagonist]

I don't have much to say.

[there isn't much to say about what happened. it was just. . . a thing, and that's it]

But I never say no to company.

[wrongtiming]

...Yeah, I get it.

[And he doesn't want to compare why he gets it to how Akira feels right now, but - he does want to make sure he knows the following.]

So - you're not alone. I mean, there's someone who gets it.

[purrtagonist]

[at that, Akira lifts his gaze, searching Hunter's expression carefully]

I-- [. . .]

I'm sorry.

[he wouldn't want anyone to understand how this feels. how losing someone you love so damn much in such a violent manner, how seeing their exploded body littering the entirety of a chapel, feels]

[wrongtiming]

[He glances away almost instinctively at the scrutiny, breathing out a sigh as he shakes his head.]

No, I wasn't trying to... You don't have to be. I just don't want you to feel like you're alone.

[purrtagonist]

. . . I don't.

But I hate that this is something we have in common.

[wrongtiming]

...Maybe I shouldn't have said anything.

[But, anyways.]

We're gonna bring him back. Right?

[purrtagonist]

[immediately, firmly]

Absolutely.

I won't accept any other outcome.

[for how much Minato's death hurts? for how much it cuts him to the very bone, life a knife? that is something he won't give up on]
