[ He breathes out a little relief, allowing Tenka to comfort him. ]
It resembles my friend. My friend who protected me. And what I saw... was him being killed. And it was my fault. I didn't protect him in the end.
[ No, he doesn't break down into tears, but his emotions are stirring. All of this is really digging into scars he has left behind. All four of them have hard times remembering what happened in the war, probably because they were all teenagers. They were reckless teenagers, fighting to protect what was right in the world, but seeing their friends and allies die so harshly.. they are things you try to block out— pulling the enemy sword out of the guts of somebody you were close to. ]
I know they are not real. Everything here.. it cannot be real. I know that he is alright. But I want to go home.
[It's rather like the last time around, when Tenka ran into his own father in the snow and was told that he was worthless. Yet this time the blame is placed on the person who watched it happen, who couldn't do anything when they see their friend die -- is this how it is for everyone who didn't make it through ViViD?
So he shakes his head once before he abandons all pretenses and opts for wrapping his arms around Katsura in a hug, pulling him in close. Never say that Tenka has any concerns about being too affectionate.
Whenever his brothers were scared, it would go a lot like this.]
It won't happen anymore. [One day Tenka will learn to stop making promises he can't keep.] They're not going to get you like this anymore.
You'll go home soon, Kotarou. I'll make sure they'll let you go home and see your friends.
But anything you see here? It's not your fault. None of it was your fault. This place is just tricking us again, that's all.
[ Tenka is an optimistic thinker— a lot like Sakamoto. Katsura was more of a realist when it came to things like this. As much as Tenka said it and reassured him, he knew that there is the high chance things aren't going to turn out that way.
He ran towards his teacher with an optimistic mindset, only to have everything crushed before his eyes— literally.
Tenka's embrace is warm, and Katsura doesn't pull away, Instead, he falls into his friend's arms. The only good thing about this place was the relationships he had built. ]
It isn't something to take lightly, and they do. [ They do. ]
Tenka. I want to take this place by the roots— and tear it apart. [ woah ... ]
