[Her poor not-boyfriend, he's so scared while she is trying her hardest to remain so calm. She doesn't know what to do to fix anything. Which is what bothers her the most. She can't fix it. She can't help anyone make a decision for themselves.]
I don't think we can stop it. I think... this has to run its course. As much as I do not like to say that to you.
[Giving up. That's just giving up, isn't it? He keeps his eyes closed, nose against her hair with a soft exhale.]
She's everywhere. I can't even go in the cafeteria without her whispering right into my brain.
[There has to be a way to stop it. There just has to be. It's a mutter, one he doesn't seem to know he's saying aloud,] Maybe... if I do something to Venus... she'll stop it.
[Is this going to be fight number two? Well, that depends on how he reacts to things of course.]
You come in here and tell me that you don't want to lose me, that you don't want anything to happen to me. What about you? What if I don't want to lose you either? What you are thinking of sounds dangerous!
[It's not fight number two, because surprisingly enough, he does know how to listen. And he's still shaken enough from his earlier encounter that he doesn't have something firm to cling to, a single argument to try to follow through. He just has Haru, his hands still clutching her back.]
You're right. There has to be another way, we just have to find it.
[Incredible, he's listening. This is truly an improvement from the last time. She lays her head on his shoulder. She doesn't have anything to suggest at the very moment and she doesn't know how to make him feel anymore secure than this.
A promise between them that they would hold on.]
Mm, and I think that we will, or... that someone else will.
