W-Was it...a sad gift?

[His stance becomes pensive. Happy tears?!? This is a foreign concept.]

Is that why you look like something's wrong?

[usogi]

... It was probably meant to be a nice one? Someone gave me... a picture of the family that I've made here.

[and it's something that he seems hesitant to admit, laughing a little sheepishly]

You and Sasuke were in it too.

[divus]

W-We were?

[He perks up a little, then, hesitating himself as well, since he hasn't really seen Senri in this sort of light before, comes forward and touches his hand.]

I bet it was...a really big picture, with so many wonderful people.

[usogi]

[senri will super easily take justice's hand then, giving it a little squeeze]

... uh-huh. It really is!

... It just made my heart ache a little bit. Since I know that it won't... really last forever, you know? Being here....

[divus]

...you...have a lot of really big plans at home, don't you? So you couldn't stay, no matter how nicely I asked.

[usogi]

.... I don't think so... Even though I think about it, sometimes.

[ . . . ]

Do you think there's still a way that we could stay in touch? Could we write letters to each other, across worlds? I asked Passhi when the game started... and I was really hoping we could maybe find something.

[divus]

I don't know. I...I hope we can, but...

[But he doesn't know, and that's all he can say. He squeezes Senri's hand back.]

I get sad when I think about it, too. I've never had so many people who were so nice to me, before. I don't want to lose...any of you.

[usogi]

.... right?

[senri laughs a little - and it's not quite a happy noise, as much as he tries]

... when everyone comes back at the end. Let's all take one picture, with the people who've been nice to you. I know that... some people might not have happy memories of this time but -

I think... I'd want something to remember it by anyway.
