[ ... He's quiet a moment, though he doesn't relinquish the embrace. ]

You think I'm lucky?

[squirt]

[ he doesn't answer right away. he doesn't even have an answer. lucky? them?

he eventually draws back first, though only enough to rest his hands on rin's shoulders. he asks a question that he doesn't think will have any sort of satisfactory answer, either. ]

Did you do it?

[damp]

[ He leans back in his seat, running a hand through his hair. Wow... What bruises were hidden under his fringe. ]

I had to send him back.

[squirt]

[ he feels his heart sink, breathing out shakily once. ]

...Okay.

[ there's really no point in having this discussion today, but he may as well ask. he wants to stay here. he speaks as levelly as he can. ]

What happened? Where did you have to send him?

[damp]

[ Meets his gaze, expression tired but knowing that Haru will understand. ]

Through the car wash.

[squirt]

Rin, this means nothing.

[ haru does not understand. ]

But okay. Continue.

[damp]

[ He seems a little bothered by that. Because this should be basic. Everyone should know this.

Why does he have to explain it? ]

To get back to life, Haru. When we're killed on this side... We go through the car cash back to the living.

[squirt]

[ he lets go of rin for a second to scrub his own face. he just sits there breathing into his hands for a second before he coughs and sets them back down. ]

...I see. Right. I forgot. The car wash.

[damp]

[ Giving him a worried look and pushing over his tea. ]

We never figured out why you were moved either. I thought people would suspect you.

[squirt]

[ more than worried, he looks puzzled. ]

...You didn't do that? [ it's part of the reason he suspected rin in the first place. ]

[damp]

... No. Why would I?

[ It wasn't even close to where he was busy killing SQQ. ]

[squirt]

[ he can't say that he has no idea rin, you're so crazy right now, but he'll just. sigh and sit back. ]

Maybe it really was Manwol?

[ who knows what happened there. but he stops, trying to collect himself. ]

...Let's not worry about it right now. [ ... ] Rin. Things are going to be... really hard, soon.

[damp]

[ He lets him move back with an uncertainty in his stomach that he doesn't like. As if something isn't right.

But he only looks at Haru worriedly. ]

What do you mean?

[squirt]

...I mean that you didn't mean to do this. And...

[ he doesn't know what to say, just staring at rin's stupid tea for a long while. ]

It won't be enough, but I'm sorry.
