[senri's always crying these days, it's fine, isn't it.
but senri will take it, because he always takes it when tamaki takes care of him. he thought he mostly had a lid on his emotions by the time that he came here, but they feel like they're bubbling to the surface again. he breathes in, and then manages a shaky breath out.]
... I guess I'm just feeling it too. Today more than ever.
[he hesitates for a second - and then just pulls out of tamaki's hold enough to bring out the photo that he was given. it's a simple photo, but one that the people involved certainly never got a chance to take. senri's in the middle, because of course here is, but right by him there's taka. sasuke. ray. ishikirimaru. majima. madoka. zoe. shiki.
sean, tamaki, and kuranosuke have also joined in for the picture.
and senri just laughs quietly, weakly]
... I've never gotten to have one of these before.
...? [Give him a moment, he'll just look a little closer to examine all of the people in this photo. This is...bittersweet, and Tamaki can sort of realize why exactly he's a little upset. After this game's over, he won't be able to see these people again.]
Where did you get this? [It's very sweet but also is this a cursed object? He hopes the fuck not.]
...it's possible to have something that makes you both happy and sad all at once. [He reaches forward to tap the photo.] I keep all of mine in an album on the shelf in my room so I only see them when I want to. The important ones are framed.
In the long run? It is a kindness...even if it doesn't quite seem like one now. [Because the way that Senri's phrasing it is enough for him to think that perhaps Senri isn't quite there yet. He can understand that. There's a reason he only has one photo of someone incredibly special in a frame he can easily display or put away at will.]
You've made quite the family for yourself. [People he's not surprised by, but it's interesting all the same.]

You dread the end of our time together?

...of course I do. What is it?

[a family photo?
or a family at all?]

[senri frowns and he doesn't really understand it. he'll lean against tamaki and pout.]
... you don't know anything about it?
no subject
[Which is to say it's probably safe to assume this wasn't the work of someone's power.] ...it's lovely though, isn't it? Having all of them there.
no subject
... yeah.
It's something that I know that I'm going to treasure in the long-run. Something that I'll be... really happy to have...
But something about it just made me really want to see you, and Cheri, and Seanbon...
