[ it isn't as if they can argue against his words. because they know, and had this been the first week.. they would brush it off, that it's fine. it's meant to be that way. it's how it has to be. but now? it's so, so different. when it meant saving one person... it was easy to do. sure, it hurt, a lot to say goodbye to someone so important to them. but now, there are other people they have come to love, to care for, and the idea of leaving them as well on top of everything...
their steps come to a sudden halt, and they're startled out of their thoughts as they're spun and meet the safety of a hug. it's an immediate giveaway that their body is trembling, despite trying to hold themselves together, and they bury into him to hide their face as they feel their composure fall apart further. ]
...If I.. if I had a choice, I'd stay, you know. I'd follow after.. wherever it is you decided to go. [ wherever he and Alex decide, with hopefully Kazuki in tow, and if not... they know they would go to their world with that cursed island. because what's more help in trying to deal with another loop situation? ]
