Ahaha, well... There are worse ways to go!

[ silence --

and there's a slow fixed look, scraping from skin down to marrow. ]

Didn't say you had to do that, either.

[ apologise, that is. ]

[skilful]

[ it's weight off his chest so he laughs, weakly again. ]

I wanted to say it, you know. [ --directly. ] Did Kusanagi-san say anything...?

[clansman]

[ a little tired, a little helpless(, hating both a lot) - ]

What do you think?

[skilful]

As expected of Kusanagi-san!

...But. [ why did you-- it dies in his throat. ]

[clansman]

But. [ echoed with his mouth like a hook. ] But you're fine, huh.

[skilful]

Mmm, I've lived a happy life! I met people I cared for and I had a lot of fun!

[ ..................... DUMB VASSAL BEATDOWN: TAKE THREE - ]

[clansman]

[ except it stops short in the end. except it falls, a fist knotted at his side. ]

Idiot.

Was that everything you wanted?

[skilful]

[ almost steps back, but. ah, king... ]

...There was one other thing.

[clansman]

Yeah?

[skilful]

I...

[skilful]

I wanted to see Anna wearing a cute float in her swimming suit!

[clansman]

[ SO ABOUT THAT MISSED BEATDOWN. ]

[skilful]

[ CROUCHING, NOISES OF PAIN ]

[clansman]

... they can take pictures.

[skilful]

And films!

[ a thoughtful pause, then-- ]

Ahh, I wanted to be the one to film Anna's wedding and her 5 metres cake... Maybe I could have filmed your crying face as you gave the bride away.

[clansman]

[ a long sigh. ]

Nobody'd cry for something like that.

[clansman]

. . . aaaa. Guess the guy could.

[skilful]

[ laughing! ]

Haha, everyone would gang up on him, wouldn't they... But, if it's the person Anna chooses, I'm sure everything will work out!

[skilful]

[ ... ] It's too bad you can't be there for her.
