[ Rosho's tense like he's bracing himself, or maybe he's trying to hold back the emotion he feels, all that frustration he's left holding onto that has been building as the days, weeks have passed by, and they've been stuck holding onto this illusion that everything is okay. But he's tired of it. How isn't Sasara tired of it too?
And then finally, when the truth of it all comes out, Rosho isn't remotely surprised. It's... disappointing. Once again, Sasara kept the truth from him. But the pattern is predictable. He understands why things are the way they've always been for so long. Bad habits are hard to break.
He won't let things stay like this forever. ]
You've gotta stop doing this kind of thing. Ya take on too much responsibility in regards to everything. If something seems wrong, then it means that's something you've gotta hide, and that's less of a burden on everyone else. That's how it was with us in the beginning.
[ Rei's always been right, that they're far too gentle with each other. They're not made of glass, and yet that's how they keep treating each other, and it keeps them from being as strong as they could be. They need to be able to trust each other. They need to be able to rely upon not just themselves as individuals but what they can do as a team. Yet if Sasara and Rei keep holding onto secrets, then... how are they ever going to move forward? ]
You tried to protect me for a really long time, and I appreciate that. But you don't have to keep doing it anymore.
[ He gives a heavily exhale before finally meeting Sasara's gaze. It seems a lot of the anger has faded away. ]
Whether its for my sake, or Rei's, or ya feel like you've gotta do this for yourself... none of that is right. Its about all three of us from now on.
[ And even if Rei isn't around, there's still two of them. ]
I fought too hard up on that tower to prove myself to you. I didn't do it just so I could be left out in the dark again. Remember. I'm your partner. I'll be by your side through everything. That's where I wanna be. So... please, tell me the truth.
