[ well. he's okay with casual mentions, like they've been doing for this conversation, but anything more in depth than that will drive him insane(r), probably. if akira suddenly announces their marriage then ryo is Giving Up. ]
[ ryo isn't sure how him being a hermit in hell would be interesting
well. he'll also likely be insane sometimes but those aren't the kind of updates that he would send to akira of all people. sometimes you have a singular somewhat moral(????) compass and you are separating from that compass so we'll see how that goes at first ]
[ he would like to argue that no, he is exactly the same, but he supposes that he can't considering he fucking cried earlier. ryo has just learned that he also has feelings and he hates all of them, actually. he already thought emotions were stupid and now he thinks they're more stupid. ]
[Stop running away from emotions, dammit. This is what happens when Ryo's emotional support dog is being taken away to Boston. The emotions don't get felt or processed adequately.]
no subject
I know… I’ll remember, Ryo. I’ll figure it out. [Peers at Ryo.] Are you worried?
no subject
Yes. Why wouldn't I? I don't know anything about where you're going.
[ and he doesn't trust the twins at all. he knows that goes both ways, but at this point there's not much he can do about it. ]
no subject
Hearing it from Ryo touches him.]
If we were able to communicate… would you want to? For me to tell you about where I am. What it’s like.
no subject
... I don't want to hear about him.
[ well. he's okay with casual mentions, like they've been doing for this conversation, but anything more in depth than that will drive him insane(r), probably. if akira suddenly announces their marriage then ryo is Giving Up. ]
no subject
It’s okay. I won’t talk about him. I’ll talk about Boston, or… America. It’ll probably be boring. It’ll be how our world was before.
Maybe I’d be able to send you pictures.
no subject
but ryo just nods his head. that might be... doable. maybe. he's not sure how sustainable it'll be the longer it gets but. ]
... I can tell you about your cat.
no subject
Ryo gets the dorky smile again even if Ryo doesn’t want it.]
I’d like that. But I don’t mind hearing how you’re doing either.
no subject

no subject
[PLEASE DON'T TELL HIM THOSE UPDATES. THINK OF JD. This is the worst. He really made Ryo live and suffer. PSL ME FRANCY.]
As long as I know you're okay.
no subject
anyway, ryo just nods his head slowly. ]
... I'll be fine. I think I'll likely be stronger than a lot of others here.
[ probably not what akira meant, but, ]
no subject
THIS IS NOT WHAT HE MEANT AT ALL ALSO.]
You are. I just... [Ryo is as stupid as he is despite being a genius.] I'd like to know how you are from time to time.
no subject
but ryo blinks, also realizing he is stupid. ]
... I'll always be the same. But okay.
no subject
GOD. Typing that anytime when Satan is involved cracks me up.]
I dunno. I don't think you're the same Ryo you were when we got here...?
no subject
I do have more guns than I started with.
no subject
Ryo.
[He shoves Ryo gently.]
no subject
... hm, well. I guess so.
[ akira has changed too, but ryo can't really say he's a fan of a lot of it so he doesn't mention it. ]
