[Stop.......... He misunderstood...]

Yeah...

[Welcome to human emotion, Ryo. It fucking SUCKS.]

It'd be okay if you were. If you wanted to be. I'd... understand.

[preordain]

[ it's okay he will just be mad at the twins forever and ever and will hope they die a horrible death.

he just shakes his head. ]

There's not much point in being mad at you. What would that even accomplish at this point?

[tearduct]

I know...

[Little does Ryo know there is something called a PSL which will always fix everything ever somehow. Uh. Sometimes.]

What are you going to do...? I mean... while you're here.

[preordain]

[ he has to think about it... if he isn't going to just hit the obliterate button, then... ]

Stage a coup.

[ not really, but he is still annoyed by the whole fake satan thing. ]

[tearduct]

Ryo...

[He sounds so exasperated.]

Alex isn't a bad girl. Maybe you could work a deal out with her.

[preordain]

I don't think she's interested in hiring any of us.

[ he wouldn't hire any of them. they were all so chaotic and also she has ryo's file. she knows too much. ]

I'd probably look for some non-populated area and stay there.

[tearduct]

[Not even him? 🥺🥺 Ryo?]

And then what will you do…?

[preordain]

[ akira gets a job via nepotism.

he shrugs. ]

Nothing, probably? If I need supplies I can just go to the other islands for a quick stop.

[ it shouldn't take too long since he can fly now. ]

[tearduct]

[yes that's how he got so much already]

Okay.

[There's actually a lot he wants to say, but it will just throw them into one of their circular arguments. So for once, he doesn't say anything for or against it. Instead, he says:]

I should probably find a blanket.

[when u ate from the tree of knowledge and so u are aware of ur nudity]

[preordain]

You can use my jacket until you can get one...?

[ he

does not really want akira to just leave to grab one because he's worried he won't come back after. ]

[tearduct]

[Imagine shoving the jacket you're wearing back to the person and having this dramatic goodbye and then...

...having to take the jacket BACK AGAIN!! IT'S LIKE SAYING BYE AND WALKING IN THE SAME DIRECTION.]

...Sure, if you don't mind.

[preordain]

[ the real reason they don't see each other for 60 years is because this pc is too embarrassing, actually. they can never live it down.

but he will just. move to get off of akira so he can grab his jacket and bring it back. help. ]

[tearduct]

[STOP!!!

This is so fucking embarrassing. He accepts the jacket for the second time and shrugs it up over his shoulders so he can cover himself. THEY REALLY HAD A DRAMATIC FIGHT WITH HIM NAKED THROUGH PART OF IT TOO. Wow, yeah, this pc is why.]

...Thanks.

[preordain]

No problem.

[ yeah.....

well. he is just going to stand here then, because it is also awkward to get back into the same position they were before. ]

... we can take a walk until you have to go?

[tearduct]

[Thank you, Ryo. Almost typed thank you god, but no, this is Satan.

He gets back to his feet so they don’t have to continue being awkward.]

Sure. Let’s go.

[preordain]

[ ok good... they can walk. he's quiet at first, but eventually he talks. ]

What are you... going to do, once you're there?

[ it pains him so

much

to ask this ]

[tearduct]

[Why would you ask this, Ryo... He's stupid, but he's good at Feeling, so he absolutely understands this is a terrible question coming from Ryo.

So he hesitates even if his walk along with Ryo doesn't. He misses the silence almost.]

I don't know... [Which is earnest. He really isn't sure.] They said... they were in Boston last. So I guess I'd be in America.

[preordain]

[ wow his life is going to be completely fucking different. ryo doesn't respond right away, trying to wrap his head around this in a non yandere way. ]

... are you going back to school...

[tearduct]

[Akira doesn't even know fucking English.]

...I don't know. Maybe? I don't know if I'd be able to, or... I wouldn't know the language. I wouldn't have... anything.

[Like the paperwork, he means. He really is just some random guy with no paper trail out there in the world.]

If I gave you JD, Ryo... would you take care of him for me?

[preordain]

[ ...

the way that ryo would normally be like "no" except now this cat will be the only damn thing he has of akira. ]

... yes. You don't want to bring him?

[tearduct]

[Ooooooo, Ryo is soooo stupid. Because immediately, Akira kind of brightens at the agreement. THIS HAS REALLY MADE HIS DAY. Sorry for the dorky, weak smile.]

I do, but... I don't want to stress him out. And I don't even know if any places I'll stay will allow him.

[WAIT i forgot to show the baby]

[preordain]

[ nooooo not the smile. he glanced away. ]

That's fine. I can take care of a cat. It shouldn't be that hard.

[ if he can remember to give akira food he can do this ]

... and forging paperwork isn't that difficult either. For the record.

[tearduct]

You have to love him. You have to pet him and hold him, let him follow you safe places.

[Just… to remind Ryo. He shakes his head gently.]

You’re good at that kind of thing, Ryo, not me. I probably couldn’t forge papers to save my life.

[preordain]

You'll have to figure it out eventually though. You can't spend the entire time there without anything.

[ especially if he ever has to travel, or get a job, or just. anything. he frowns.

he doesn't comment on the loving the cat thing but he is not saying no, at least. ]

[tearduct]

[He makes a soft, disgruntled noise, something fussy, like a child.]

They’d have to do it or something. I wouldn’t have anything, especially not money or… I don’t know, prestige. I can’t forge documents.
