he rolls the string around more. they're a lot alike, in the end; the circumstances may be different but the core is the same, it's why subaru was drawn to them beyond his affection deficit. lonely people can sense others of their kind, even if they don't know all the facts.
subaru may never learn the full truth of keigo's past, nor vice versa, but that doesn't mean he can't tell their hearts are the same.]
That's why I wanna do everything I can to help you and the others, 'cause it's my way of saying "thank you for being there".
[thank you for giving me a chance. thank you for liking me. thank you for not leaving.
the incident isn't known here. there's two people who're aware of it, and only because it's in their sphere as idols; but no one else knows, so of course it's easy for him to make friends and keep them. it's bizarre, in a way, and almost puts him on edge--
subaru likes to think that a lot of people wouldn't care even if they did know, but there's still the hesitation, the fear that comes with being known.]
I wanna stay friends with everyone forever, so... [...] Can we be friends even after I graduate, Keigo? I'll come and visit you, wherever you are. We'll hang out and watch movies, or you can take me to all the places your sis mentioned since I don't know my way around here.

...ah

Yeah. [ Their voice falls quiet, gaze cast down. ] We'll be friends forever.
[ That's something they can promise, can hold close to their heart and never break, because they would have to break their own heart first to get to it, but the rest of that... the thought of growing up, of hanging out with friends, of touring the town...
...
Quiet, they reach for him, wrapping their arms around him and burying their face against his chest. Shoulders hunched but hold loose, almost apologetic. ]

this time, he's volunteering his silence first. subaru doesn't know what to say anyway, and to break the fragility of the current situation sits wrong on his mind; last year he would have laughed it off, but this year... he can let himself ease off the smiles, at least when keigo can't see his face.]
