[ A-ah... it ain't like he doesn't know as soon as Rosho drops his glare into the bowl, even sooner than he lets his thoughts run on out loud. That's something Sasara could never, still can't really, do—that talk back home aside, him keeping quiet about Rei just goes on to prove it. Here's Rosho, ranting, blaming—Rei, most of all.
The way he and Sasara left off, the old man oughta be satisfied with that role he's being given in his absence. That look of his, and parting words, that's something Sasara hasn't been able to shake in weeks now. Truth be, it'd been building, balling into an ever tighter knot in his stomach.
The guilt of it, and how it really went. Sasara isn't readying a quip to get out of this conversation, not as Rosho's voice ebbs with the blame on him. Right, he's some leader... ]
Rosho... [ He's writhing to say anything. ] about all that...
[ He'd said, even in the event of Rei himself making clear he'd keep his secrets, that he wouldn't tell. Sorta... Does it matter, if Rei didn't even care for that promise in the first place? Maybe what Sasara has just said he did without thinking, same as making the old man talk-- ]
It ain't that Rei just up and left.
[ And it's because of that they're no longer a team: there shouldn't have been a talk about giving up secrets. So sinking into his own remorse, Sasara thinks his partner's got it all wrong. He's got it all wrong.
"Stay out of the way if you know what's good for you."
Falling back to secrecy, that's been way too easy. Sasara hears his own pause now, but it's like he can't stand up under the weight of it. There's something to Rei's absence that he knows about, Rosho doesn't. ]
More like... [ While Rosho feels like he knows Rei better than ever, it's become the opposite for him.
Yeah... he's regretting it, old man. ] I know just why.
