I wasn't covering.
I don't care if humans do it, or other people do because they feel like they need to look out for their team. But I didn't try to cover for him even once, Kyoko-san. I would've killed him myself on Friday if I thought it would've solved anything.
But - it's okay. You don't have to do anything for me. [he tilts his head] I don't mean it in the way of trying to push away your kindness, but... even just knowing you want to means something.
But you gotta let me offer the same too, okay? I know that I'm not in the best shape lately... but I promise I'm really normally more reliable than this.

She's just walking around the locations aimlessly. Sometimes it's better tthan sitting in your office, what can she say?]
No, you don't have to go anywhere. Do you want to talk?
no subject
I don't mind.
... but I don't want anyone to talk to me without being aware that I knew since Friday. I don't think it'd be fair for me to try to hide that.

Alright. [Acceptance.] Then, should I ask you how you're feeling?
no subject
[he'll speak plainly at that, frowning. he shakes his head as if that'll get the frustration to clear faster. these emotions are rough on a sword.]
I just don't want people to misunderstand me - or Matsu. There's no way we would be okay with what happened to Rin-san.

...
Well.
Even humans have difficulty with them. Why would it be different for a spirit?]
[Honestly:] I'm concerned about you, but there's not much I can do.
no subject
he looks a little surprised at that]
... thanks, for your concern.
But - it's okay. You don't have to do anything for me. [he tilts his head] I don't mean it in the way of trying to push away your kindness, but... even just knowing you want to means something.
no subject
Alright. If you ever want to talk, I am available. I can do that much at any time.
no subject
You know, that's an awful lot.
I really do think so... If at least we can rely on each other and talk, that means plenty.
no subject
We're all here together. I'm open whenever you need it. Just let me know.
no subject

Not just if you need it, okay? Even if you just want to is okay with me, too.
