[ Rin's stupid teenage pride means that it's very embarrassing for him to be held like this while he's like this, but the loneliness he feels in this moment overpowers everything else.
He drops his forehead onto Buzen's shoulder, knees hitting the ground so that he's also kneeling, while his face screws up as he tries to keep his voice from wavering again.
Like this, beyond the right and wrong of erasing other players, and the trauma of watching people suffer, he can just admit, ]
[there is nothing about this situation that's fair or right, and there's probably no words that buzen can offer up that'd ease any words. so instead he pulls rin that much closer, enveloping him in this embrace like it can help anything at all. and he can only say the one thing that he knows to be true:]
They miss you too.
[and maybe that's the cause of all this pain, but it's also this incredibly strong source of love that buzen doesn't think would be all that fair to look away from.]
