[Shizuo just gives a firm nod before he reaches out to give Kotori a somewhat heavy but gentle pat on the head.]

It's fine. ...You gonna be all right?

[ricebird]

[Another soft nod as she leans a bit into his touch.]

I will be... Will you?

[Roxas is Shizuo’s friend too, after all.]

[hatesviolence]

[Just a nod.]

Yeah, I'll be fine.

[He doesn't say it, but he wonders if it doesn't hit as hard for him since he's an adult... Not that hearing about the circumstances are something to shrug about it—he can understand why Kotori is upset about it. To not be alive anymore because he chooses to become a part of someone else... Honestly, it's a lot for him to process and he'll need some time to think it over.]

I'll be sure to lecture him when he gets back.

[That actually gets a faint breath of a laugh out of her.]

You would, wouldn’t you.

[The corners of her lips turn up, faint spark of hope starting to flicker in her eyes.]

Just don’t be too hard on him...

[hatesviolence]

[Even if it's small, it's good to hear her laugh a bit.]

I'll try not to.
