[She's in the studio and when Yu enters, she looks up from her place in the middle of the room. It seems as though she was waiting for him, given she's dressed down in normal clothes and demasked. She stares at him, patiently waiting before she holds out her hands to him wordlessly.
[ He's there in the doorway, watching her, the look on his face utterly indescribable.
While he crosses to her slowly, there's no hesitation in the way he moves, and he'll reach out to curl his hands through hers. There's a moment where he searches her face, as if there's some hidden answer there.
But in the end, he just steps in to lean down and press his forehead to hers. ]
I'm sorry, Rise. I've made so many mistakes. From the beginning I've wanted to support you, and ease your burdens... but I think I've only added to them, instead. [ Yu gently squeezes her hands, lifting his head enough so that he can look at her clearly. ] ... but there's at least one thing I can promise you. I won't break, no matter how dark it gets. So don't worry for me, alright? Let me worry for you.
[She immediately holds his hands. She doesn't speak, waiting patiently for him to come to his own conclusions and knowing she'll give him all of the time in the world. When he does finally reply, she listens.]
...I know. You've always been strong for all of us, but that doesn't mean I'm not gonna worry, you know. [She continues to hold his hands even as she shakes her head.] I'll be okay. It's...this game's pretty tough. But I know you can do it. I'm just worried because it feels like it's getting harder and harder to come back each time, doesn't it?
... it is, in a way. The more time that passes, the harder it is ... for everyone to cope. [ ... ] Myself included. [ quiet, wry. ] I won't pretend that's not the case. But what makes it hard is also what's going to give us our strength. Our bonds to each other.
[ She'll know that better than anyone. He'll lean in just to press a simple peck to her forehead. ]
... I'm only worried what might happen this week. It could be very bloody.
[ EXCEPT IT WASN'T BECAUSE AMBITION RULES. but that whole revenge killing rule wasn't a thing till monday. ]
We're closer to the end, so people are going to be more desperate...I'm worried about that, too. But if we work together we can maybe help change people's minds before they hurt someone else. It's just one more week. I hope. After that, it's all over.

We can hold on for that long, can't we?
