[For a moment, Itsuki's expression is completely blank with shock, the gaze in his eyes wide and uncomprehending -- before it finally filters in, Vax's words, his offer. All of it reaching him, despite the distance he's felt since he woke up this morning and saw the empty futon.
he swallows the plea before it can escape his throat, his eyes brimming. Instead, he reaches for something else, voice husky]
...Thank you. I... thank you.
[for this offer, but most of all, for this kindness]
But... [he doesn't even want to say it, he wants to say yes so badly, but... his fingers clutch onto the phone in his pocket] Last night... Mete-chan said she wanted to talk to Bass -- she wanted to tell him that she was sorry. I...
[god, he wants to see Meteion too,]
...She should see him. And Bass too, he should get to hear from her.
...Metie's going to see him. [ buzen, that is. the bit about bass is harder, makes the oilslick of his wings seem to get worse, the black ink dripping slowly into the snow under their feet. ] And Bass - I think... I think their situation might end up a little different.
[ he's lost a lot, and he knows, after the past week, that bass is going to take this really hard. but, still. ] I don't know if the power'd work on the Residents, or not.
I can find out. But if it doesn't, I want you to take it. I'm taking Vin, this week.
[...he reaches for Vax's hand, and this time he doesn't try to hold back his tears.]
...Vax. [thank you] If... If the trial tomorrow is bad...
[who is he kidding, he knows it's going to be. Everyone will be in pain, but... he can't help but be afraid, there are some who might suffer the most, depending on how things shake up.]
If it's Yasu-kun or Shuu-kun, and if one of them ends up dying on Sunday... They'll need it more than I do, but if not then...
