[ Citrus gives a nod. Having spent a lot of time in his vicinity now, Kazunari will be able to tell that he's tenser than usual. ]
... mhm. There's a lot I want us to figure out before next Thursday.
[ One hand goes up to play with the dog tag around his neck. It has a draco constellation engraved and in Citrus' old world, it was nothing more than a fashion statement. It feels a lot more morbid now. ]
But if we don't... I made up my mind. One way or another, I want to take this burden off of them.
If you need me for anything, please let me know? I can't help with planning or following through, but if you need something, I can at least point you in the right direction, okay?
If nothing else... we can just spend as much time together as we can, before we can't anymore.
[ his smile is bittersweet. ]
You're pretty brave, aren't you? It makes me proud to say we're on the same team... though, I still wish you didn't have to be.
[ If he was brave, shouldn't he feel more afraid? He'd feel the fear and overcome it for the sake of something precious. But this is... well, he's not happy about it. But it's more sadness than fear, more resignation and annoyance than terror. ]
It's like... the thought of any of you dying? That scares me. I'm just trying to do what I can to prevent that fear from becoming reality. And I'm only that determined because what you guys have done for me is so amazing that I barely know how to repay it.

...Though I'm pretty sure every one of us would tell you that you don't have to repay anything.
