[ Generally, he doesn’t like being touched, but he doesn’t feel it in him to react or retaliate. He lets it happen as he stares at the spot Mia used to be… It’s difficult to forget how she felt in his arms when this isn’t the first time he has lost and failed her.
He repeats the words she told him, and other words he has heard… Words he even said himself—to not think of this as failure. All three of them have done all that they could on this trip. They couldn’t have done this better.
His gaze shifts to Lup right beside him, then Shinobu, clearly remembering all they as a group suffered.
But he can’t help and wonder, maybe he could have done something different? Maybe they could have saved one of them? If they could restart, go back to the beginning of this trip, could they have done this a second time and received a different ending?
It may not be real… But saving those you care about, even once, even in some simulation, means something, doesn’t it?
Closing his eyes tightly, he tries to quiet the voices and takes a seat in front of one of the meals. They have to leave. The sooner the better. ]
