[where be noodle once things calm down]

[foundfate]

[Hanging out in Sora's room for the time being! He's bathed and changed, but he still looks noticeably affected by everything.]

[goldenmaniac]

Hey... you up for talking, Watanuki-san?

[foundfate]

I suppose. There isn't much else to do right now.

[goldenmaniac]

... is it okay to touch you right now too?

[foundfate]

...if you explain why you're asking that, then we'll see?

[goldenmaniac]

You hugged me last time, so...

[awkward head rub]

[foundfate]

...ah.

Then...yes. You can touch me. If it's for a hug.

[goldenmaniac]

[Hug time. Not as frantic and broken as last time, but trying his best to be firm and comforting, instead of taking comfort.

He lost friends today, but Watanuki lost his Servant. Just from knowing about the dreams he can guess that's a heavy toll]

[foundfate]

[Ironically it's because Ruler was his friend that this is so hard to deal with. If he had just been a Servant, Watanuki probably wouldn't be this broken up over it.

And as they hug, Takumi will be able to hear Watanuki's breath catch in his throat. He's trying not to cry, but it's so hard to do.]

[goldenmaniac]

It's okay, I won't tell anyone if you wanna cry.

[foundfate]

...

[Hearing that, somehow, is what makes him crumble. He lets out a soft 'ah', and the tears start trailing down his face like the floodgates have been opened.

He can't quite articulate his feelings yet, but he'll get there.]

[goldenmaniac]

[He just sits there and hums softly. And from his goggles AIBA does the same, playing soft plinking random notes]

[foundfate]

[Okay yeah, this is too sad for him, and he just. He can't take it anymore.]

I had to watch him die. I couldn't even hold his hand, all I could do was sit there and feel useless!

[goldenmaniac]

Ah...

Because of the rules of the Game.

[He squeezes him harder]

[foundfate]

Because there has to be a victim. I couldn't save him, because someone had to die. And if I used magic to heal him, that would have affected the case.

[goldenmaniac]

...is that how Wheatley ended up back in the mansion? For the case?

[foundfate]

I don't know, I didn't have anything to do with that.

[goldenmaniac]

Ah. I'll ask Nirrti at the trial then.

[He rubs his back]

[foundfate]

[He nods against Takumi's shoulder, but he doesn't let go quite yet. Something has been on his mind, and maybe now is a good time to say it.]

...

"Everything will surely be alright."

[goldenmaniac]

Hmm?

[That sounds familiar, but he can't place it]

[foundfate]

It's a message I was told to pass on. I was told you would understand it.

[goldenmaniac]

[He takes that in and trembles. He has to believe it. But... it's so hard]

Thank you, Watanuki-san.

[foundfate]

[He doesn't say anything in response, but just makes a noise in the affirmative.

...also he's holding onto Takumi for a bit longer, because human contact is Nice.]

[goldenmaniac]

[He doesn't mind- he missed it for a long time too]

There was something I wanted to ask you: it's not about the Game but... I can ask later, if you want?
