WHAT IT SAYS ON THE BOX.

[beautymark]

That isn't what's important!

[erank]

[S O B, way to be an idiot, Cu]

Then what's up?

[beautymark]

It's just--

[it's just that he's frightened and not entirely sure there's such thing as escape for him

and of course, it's that the whole world appears to be crumbling apart and he can't make that vision go away no matter how much he tells himself it's fake]

Everything's going upside down.

[erank]

...I don't know what all's going on yet, but...

[HE SHRUGS]

Guess it doesn't matter. You can just hang onto me if you need to.

[beautymark]

I do, but--

It would probably be better for everyone if I hadn't ever come here.

[erank]

Maybe. I dunno - don't think you can really fix that, so it can't be worth thinking about that much.

[beautymark]

I could leave now. I would have, but Archer needed help getting here.

[erank]

...you really don't have to do that, you know.

[beautymark]

He said we're friends.

[Archer probably has no idea how important that is to D.]

[erank]

...shit, did he?

[HERPDERP...]

[beautymark]

Mm. So I had to save him. He was being stubborn, so I couldn't leave him behind at all.

[erank]

You should't let him forget that, got it?

[beautymark]

I don't intend to.

[erank]

That's the spirit! Archer might act like an jerk, but he knows he's gotta pay his debts. If you saved his ass, I bet you could get him to play nice for a while.

[beautymark]

He doesn't know what nice is.

[erank]

[PFFFFFT.

Yeah, he can't help but laugh at that]

Well, yeah, I guess you've got a point there!

[beautymark]

Maybe I really should make him walk home on his own next time.

[erank]

Probably! It's not like he's going to die any time soon or anything.

[beautymark]

... [aand Shirou yelling in the other room just reminds him:]

He nearly did today.

[erank]

...well he didn't and that's what counts, right?

[beautymark]

I--

[glances back towards the main room]

Can I ask you something?

[erank]

Sure, whatever you want.

[Bad feeling? Bad feeling.\

[beautymark]

Would you be okay if I disappeared?

[erank]

[Ah...]

Eventually I'd move on. But that doesn't mean you've gotta do it.

[beautymark]

It's the only way I can think of to protect you.
