[ He snorts, smiling a little. ]

Love Possibly doesn't sound bad.

[foxicide]

You would say that.

[anyway he prods rin on the shoulder, let's go into the theater]

So it'll be your fault if it turns out to be terrible.

[damp]

Wh- now?

[ But... he kind of wants to see it, so they just wander into the theatre and sit down. It's empty.

When is this movie even starting. ]

... Look. I wanted to talk to you about something.

[ And then he just goes silent. ]

[foxicide]

[imagine the movie never starts, now they're in a dark space all alone... this is so intimate,

luckily for rin, rang's predator instincts aren't being triggered, though he does like look at rin like ?]

You're gonna get thrown out for talking if you're wait for the movie to start.

[damp]

There's no one here?! [ He just whisper yells this.

But he feels admonished so. I GUESS? THEY ARE JUST GOING TO WATCH THIS MOVIE?

which still hasn't started ]

[foxicide]

[HE MEANT HURRY UP AND TALK BEFORE THE MOVIE STARTS?

flicks a popcorn kernel at him,]

Hurry up and tell me.

[damp]

[ HE'S SO ANNOYING

But... Rin looks kind of hesitant, lacing his fingers together and looking down at this lap. ]

It's just... you were with Haru, right? The morning after we stayed at the tower. [ When he was found dead. ] How... was he? Was he okay? Or- [ Ugh. ] Did he seem okay before you were...

[ Also deda. ]

[foxicide]

[Rang, mercifully, does not throw a kernel at him. Nor does the movie choose to start at this awkward moment. Instead, he just looks at Rin for a moment, and thinks that whatever violence he deserves should be given to him only by Haru,]

To be honest, I didn't notice him at all in the morning. I was too distracted by the multiple illusions of you that were running around in front of me, and by how much I wanted to be near you.

[so he can't lie or tell the truth about haru's emotional state, which would have probably been incredibly BAD]

I did get to talk to him eventually. He was as distraught as anyone would have been -- as so many people were. Monika, Livio, Ylfa. Those are just some of the people who were upset. But Haru was sad and angry and he wanted, most of all, to figure out the truth, even though he knew it wouldn't help him.

It's why -- while everyone else accused me of killing you -- I told him that I didn't. It's why I made D say something at the end, during execution. Not that it helped Haru any.

[ Rin's shoulders hunch up as he listens to Rang, guilt heavy in his heart and in the draw of his frown. He has a lot of apologies to make and repentance to offer—he already knew that.

He just wishes... ]

Thanks for doing that.

[ He pulls one leg onto the seat, pressing his forehead against his knee. ]

But he'll be okay. [ Right? ]

[foxicide]

[wow don't thank him!!! he's done zero things for haru!!! what help can he offer, when grieving over someone you love is a concept that he hasn't thought of in centuries,

at least until rin and then buzen died... thinks about throwing popcorn at rin for causing feelings. instead he props his feet up on the seat in front of him,]

If you really want to know, then you should try negotiating with that Nightingale. See if you can tell him that you're still here.

[damp]

[ This guy... At least there's no one here. ]

Yeah, that's a good idea. [ His voice is soft enough that it seems like he's talking to himself, even though he's obviously talking to Rang. ]

I wonder if he wants to forget about me...

[foxicide]

[


ends up throwing a handful of popcorn kernels at rin anyway]

[damp]

[ Frowns at him. ]

Don't waste food.

[foxicide]

[UR NOT HIS MOM]

Why would he want to forget about you?

[damp]

[ U DON'T HAVE A MOM

He looks like he kinds of regrets saying that out loud. ]

We have a history, that's all. This isn't the first time I disappointed him.

[foxicide]

[JUST BC HIS MOM (REDACTED)

rang mercifully doesn't throw any more popcorn at rang, instead he looks annoyed, like he can't believe he can't be jerk about this.]

...If humans forgot everyone who disappointed them, then they wouldn't remember anyone.

What happened the first time?

[damp]

[ you can always be a jerk rang

he gives him a flat look ]

Don't you hate humans because they disappointed you?

[foxicide]

[STOP

he eats another kernel, looking at the opening credits frozen on the movie screen]

That's not why I hate them.

Tell me what happened.

[damp]

I'm not telling it to someone who hates me.

[ looks at the credits that are not moving. is there actually a movie.

he swipes a kernel. ]

[foxicide]

[it was on dramatic pause for the rinharu gay but it starts playing, cute romantic music fills the air,

rang swats at his hand,]

I won't lie and tell you that Haru's okay. I doubt he ever will be, as long as he has to be on that side and watch people die.

[the female protagonist is running down a street, clearly late for work]

So even if he forgot about you like you want him to, he'll still suffer either way.

[damp]

[ WOW Rin turns his attention to the movie... Already invested in this protagonist. What's her story? Her hopes? Her dreams? ]

I know. If he wasn't upset by it, that would be even worse.

[ He'd just be a cold-hearted creep. ]

I don't... [ Ugh. ] I don't know. I can't tell if I want him to move on or to keep missing me.

[foxicide]

[ive never seen love actually so we can make up something cute for rin...

she is an aspiring athlete........ she wishes to compete in.... the Olympics, she hasn't met her love interest yet,]

It's better if he keeps missing you. [promptly!!! like it's a no brainer!!!!]

[damp]

[ it's a romcom and i don't like romcoms ]

Why?

[foxicide]

[thinks about how u loved manwol so much u watched her romcom]

You can stay with him forever that way.

[sorry this isn't a sane thing to say,]

[damp]

[ i love u manwol... i'll do anything for you ;v;

but wow! his eyes shine briefly. ]

... I guess it's not that cruel. I still miss my dad, but it doesn't hurt as much as it used to.
