[Nope. No. He can't do it. Looking at her is too hard. Their features are too similar -- all the things they inherited from him, all the things they inherited from their mother. He can't stand it, and at the same time he can't seem to look away. He sits there, curled up tight and peeking over his folded arms at her with puffy, bloodshot eyes, not saying anything for a long few minutes.

What does he do? He can't be around her, going into the future. Still, he can't stand the idea of letting her die. He knows Shirou will be uncontrollably angry when he gets home, and someone is going to have to pay for it. Even if he can hold him off for a few days with stories of boarding schools and mail order electronics, it won't last long. Once the lies are uncovered, it's inevitable that those responsible will be killed. And they'll deserve it. As awful as Shirou is, he's already lost the people he loves too many times. It's too cruel to take someone he relies on away from him yet again, and someone ought to be punished for that.

But it doesn't have to be Makoto. No, Byakuya doesn't want to see that happen. So-- so why doesn't she just go away? He can send her somewhere, like he'll say he sent Shinji. She'll be safe, and when Shirou needs to snap...

Yeah, it's fine. Byakuya will just die. It's all his fault in the end anyway.]

...Hey, Makoto. I won't forgive you unless you do exactly what I tell you from now on, okay?

[It'll be fine. He knows exactly where she'll be safe, and find a chance of going home. He gets up, and puts on his best cold and business-like expression.]

[ there's a weight in her chest. guilt.
she knows that she owes byakuya the world right now. ]

I... I'll do anything.

You'll go to the Tohsakas.

[He does his best to take a commanding tone as he stands, keeping his arms wrapped around himself and edging towards the door. This is important. It's the last thing he'll have a chance not to fuck up.]

Pack a bag and leave right now. I'll call and talk to them. Sort it out somehow... Nobody has better acess to stuff about parallel worlds. They'll figure it out. Anyway. Shirou's gonna be nuts so you need to hide for awhile. Don't call, don't come here, don't leave the Tohsaka house unless your life depends on it, or you'll die. I'll call for you when it's safe.

[ she wants to scream; to say no and stay by his side. he doesn't want her, though, so it's pointless. she already agreed to his demands, anyway. she's silent when she nods. just once. in the back of her head, she knows that he is doing her a favor. while she thinks she would be just fine up against either kotomine; that he shouldn't underestimate her at all, she knows that there's likely no changing his mind on the subject. daddy was stubborn, always.

she hates the tohsakas, but she hates the thought of any byakuya hating her more.
so she'll listen, if only because of that. ]

Mm... [ she's agreed. it's official. ]
