Closure...

[It's better than nothing, but it still feels like literally small comfort to him.

A sense of powerlessness is an old friend to Shin, but this is new to him as well. He's used to not being able to help himself. Not being able to help others like him is newer, harder, more painful, especially outside of a death game where he can tell himself he's the most vulnerable there. In a fortnight that'll be hit home harshly, finding someone barely breathing on the floor.

His head lifts as Sidney straightens up and there's... a physical reaction to this, the kind you get when someone's urge is to flinch as under a physical blow and there's something rerouting that into keeping absolutely still. It turns into a twitch of the fingers, a drawing in of body language, and a weak, strangled laugh with it's own question mark.]


D-don't force yourself, ahaha.

[You hate him, right? Isn't he awful?]
