Mm-hmm. [a soft little affirmation as he rubs her back, letting her cry on him as he just holds her close] Because even when it feels like the night goes on for a very long time, dawn will break eventually. So it might be scary for a little while... but it'll be okay. We won't lose, so keep your hope close.
[he means it as sincerely as he can - because he's seen all the horrors of history by now. they're unspeakable, but at the same time, they pass. it isn't all darkness at all times.]
... execution is what happens when a man will die. Zuma-san chose to let himself be killed instead of having to fight one of us.
I think he wants to try to find atonement for what he's done.
[ she rubs at her eyes, taking in some breaths and nodding along. it's a bit painful, but she wants... to be strong. she doesn't want to worry anyone. as much as she appreciates everyone that has checked up on her, she wants to be strong for them. she wants to be strong for buzen too. ]
I'll keep it close... I won't forget it. [ she can hear the sincerity in his tone, she can tell he's genuinely trying to reassure her. ]
..Mmm. I think.. I can understand. If, it had been me making that decision, I would have.. done the same.
[ she would rather atone for her actions, even if it meant being alone, she wouldn't want to fight anyone else- put another person at risk. ]
