[ ochako doesn't like how that sounds. but she doesn't know how to reply to it either, and elsa's hugging her before she can think of something, so maybe it's best to just let it go for now.
i swear that wasn't meant to be a frozen joke but now that i've typed it in a pc with elsa i legally can't backspace i'm sorry. ]
...Okay. I guess it might be better to try to get our minds off of it, huh?

But we knew it wasn't him. He doesn't deserve to - to die just because he was being difficult.

[she sighs.]
No one wants to feel bad. No one wants to kill anyone. And... no one wants to die.
If we failed Shuuya in any way, it was in that we, as a group, did exactly what he expected us to do.

I want to prove him wrong, though. I… I don’t think he’s as bad a person as he wants us to think.

He's just drowning. And he's been drowning for so long, with nobody caring, that he's started slapping away all forms of rescue.
I think... he wants to die, on some level. But on his own terms.
[she purses her lips. this is the most she's actively talked about death for some time.]

[ it's something a villain would do, but kano can't be that far gone. not if elsa is here saying he's still good. ]
Is that why he kept resisting everyone? So he it would feel like he chose this?
no subject
[she sighs.]
...But that's just my guess. I won't pretend I could ever speak for him. I just... know what it's like to hurt.
no subject
[ what can she say to that? there's little to be glad of, when he'll be sent to die tomorrow. ]
But you were friends with him, right? So at least he had you, for a little while.

[she gives ochako a sudden smile—and another little hug. somehow, it doesn't feel forced at all.]
Come on. Let's get out of here. We're not helping ourselves, or anyone else.

i won't hold you back if you're going to keep making them ray]
Yeah. And I'm certain it's not what he'd want. In fact, sometimes I think Shuuya wishes we wouldn't think of him at all.
[she sighs.]
Sandwiches. Are you up to make some with me?
no subject
[ kind of hard not think about someone in a situation like his. ]
...Sure.

[but she takes ochako gently by the hand, and smiles, taking her in the direction of the inn.] Got a favorite filling?
