[ is papazaki's influence actually working???? either way, rei does seem to calm down, so sousuke glances to rin for a brief moment wondering if he'll let go, returning as rei keeps explaining his reasoning.

the worst of it is that sousuke gets it. if what happened to rei happened to him, he'd probably be doing the same thing. but he's not about to let rei know that while rin is standing there.

rin looks at him with that look, and sousuke fights the urge to sigh - yeah, yeah, we'll watch out for him - before he turns back to rei. watching him almost thoughtfully. ]

You're wrong. [ is what he says, after a brief moment of pause. ] It won't just continue on like it's already going. [ he gives a pointed look to rin, then, like what he's saying has a lot to do with rin's own actions as well, but he is looking back at rei when he continues. ]

If you had gone after that thing, and disappeared, you seriously don't think everyone here would have gone after you?
