I understand that saying it won't happen again is difficult to believe... but if you can believe me, considering that the same didn't happen with Nona's killing last week, i-it's the truth.
In... the memories I had of wanting revenge for my brother's death... I saw him killed right in front of me. And yesterday, I...
I knew it must have been Lucas. After what I saw on Friday, once his name began to come up, I knew, but I wanted... I always intended to tell the truth, but I wanted to ask that no one hurt him, before we could...

[ He can say that much. Like... he's not unreasonable, he understands why Yuffie would have reacted the way she did, the amount of distress she was in... and realistically, they would've had to take care of Lucas regardless someway, somehow.
Still doesn't make it harrowing in the end, though. ]
I'm sorry, for all that's worth, that it came out like this.

U-um, as... as all right as I can be...
[he does seem normal! maybe slightly confused at the wariness.]
no subject
[ Still looking carefully because what if it sets him off again. Daan has seen what trauma does to people, it's a landmine. ]
no subject
[he worried several people and he knows it.]

I'm not asking you to be okay. Or demanding that you be.
I just want to know whether you really are, honestly.

[after a moment of hesitation:]
N-not entirely, besides that.
[emotionally speaking, this weekend was trauma upon trauma, so.]

Was it that man?
[ Fuckin Jean. Jirche. ]

[it-- it still helps, to hear him say both of those things. to not hear 'she was right, get over it' like he was a little afraid he would.]
I... I'd just...
I had something I still needed to ask him. I didn't do it soon enough.

It's going to be so strange, not being able to talk to him.

Waking up to someone who'd always been there being gone, it's hard.
...It'll probably be hard for a while.
