Even if you get hurt. Even if later on...you'll come to hate me for the things I've made you do.
C-come on. Don't be this way. I attacked you...with intent to injure, if not kill. If Crash and Altair hadn't been there, you might not have left unscathed. And then...you had to be exposed to me, in Felfri, when I got hurt, over and over.
...You should cut your losses.
[Ryou chooses to sit not at the table, but at the couch. And for all his height, he still manages to draw his legs in, hold them tight to his chest, and peer over his knees at Nanami, looking frustrated and uncertain.]
The kind of misfortune I bring is dangerous. I don't know whether his was...I don't really know much about him except that he was...rather fond of Atem.
[Ryou shouldn't be jealous, but now, with Atem having decided to throw him away, why should he care if he's jealous? Any of their progress on matters like this? It didn't matter. Because Ryou was a curse.
Just thinking about how Atem had cowered from him, said he couldn't be around Ryou anymore, has his eyes burning hot, brimming with tears that spill over so quickly he couldn't stop them if he wanted to.]
It's okay. I p-promise...if you choose a path away from me.
It'll be alright.
[It won't. His heart aches at the thought.]
I'll survive.
[He's not sure if he will, actually.]
I've always done alright, when my friends didn't remember I was there, or when I wasn't ever as close as they were to each other. It's just how it is.
cw; self-sabotage, self-hatred, just. man. cw; YIKES.
