it's not easy. you take it day by day.

it probably depends on how it happened. but if you don't want to say anything it's ok.

[whatsamada]

...

My teammates and I had to fight the God of Death. And let's just say I lost two friends because of it.

[bakegarasu]

[He has to take a minute there to absorb that. 'God of Death'? It sounds ridiculous, but he's been here too long to doubt something like that.]

[And Ken is relying on him to be a more or less stable adult, so he has to do his best.]

it sounds like if you fought a god of death and only lost two people, that's a pretty good run. i mean... not that losing people is good, but they probably could have killed everyone. and i'm glad you're not dead.

tell me about the people you lost? if you want.

[whatsamada]

…They were my leader and the avatar of Death. It’s still something I’m not sure how to process.

I already had to deal with my mother’s and…a friend of mine who died too. It’s a lot to handle.

[bakegarasu]

i'm not surprised.

[If he were an adult he'd offer Ken a drink, but... hm.]

do you want me to come over? i can bring food. i know it sucked to try to take care of myself after reiji got killed.

[whatsamada]

...That's fine. You don't have to bring anything though.

[bakegarasu]

okay. i'll be there soon.

[He heads over to Ken's, arriving probably more quickly than someone might expect. He didn't bring food, but at least he's warm if Ken needs to hold on to someone.]

[whatsamada]

[And as soon as he heard him by the door, the boy rushed over.]

Hello, thank you for coming over. Especially on short notice too.

[bakegarasu]

Of course.

[He keeps focus on Ken, not moving his gaze away from the younger man.]

I told you I'm here for you. I meant it.

[Cautiously he reaches out and puts a hand on Ken's shoulder, just lightly.]
