( a question about a wish, asked to him so many months ago by the same person he's helping subaru to find, but it applies here, too. )
...I wouldn't give you the chance to try if I thought there was a possibility it wouldn't WORK. ( because that's how natsume works. and maybe there's a little less backing for this, maybe this is a little insane, but
but...
but subaru has been quiet, has been mopey, has been forcing himself every time someone talks to him to act "normal". it's high time he found a reason to actually smile again. he isn't the only person who would go a mile and a half to see an akehoshi raise their face to greet the sun again. ) I won't be FAR, but this is something you have to do on your OWN. Like you SAID, the little shopkeeper is scared of ME. I can't be around when you do IT.
( ... )
I don't think they'll let you THOUGH, if they're HERE. They don't want to hurt you; they never WOULD. I think you hurting yourself for them falls under THAT.
( natsume starts to move past him, pausing to... touch his arm briefly, lips pressing together. he can act all calm and fine, but subaru is his responsibility, too. he's almost sure he'll make it in time, he'll be able to do something or call someone to help if he needs to, should anything go too terribly wrong, but chiaki's words ring in his ears, to tell subaru whatever he deems important— )
Little Shopkeeper cares about you a LOT, ( he says instead, voice soft. ) They love YOU. Infatuation or otherWISE, I think they'll come if it's you who calls out to THEM.
