( komaeda's giving this look with his bright eyes, and finding shin's expression interesting. hehehe. )

...If I wasn't, I wonder if I would have died earlier.

( he shrugs once the hacking gun is in his hand, and he looks down at the dial to click a few things to see what he wants to do now. there's burn, link, move, just various little pieces that doesn't help for the occasion. )

They won't hurt you, Tsukimi-kun, besides... what you see with your eyes, you can ignore by closing them.

( back to detect, and he holds it up to look at shin's photo first, allowing both of them to take in the more happier, ecstatic appearance that it has. not too different from the original, but no one comparable to the one beside him. he's too locked away, guarded, and the key that he has is wrapped tightly around him, and no one else. all someone has to do is throw a rock to get inside, but that doesn't mean he can't burrow into the ground next. )

Are you even capable of smiling that bright, and laughing. Ah, it... almost feels familiar.

( he hms, looking to shin wondering if he'll match the painting. komaeda knows he's not going to match it, so it's just a little teasing. )
