[ after everything that happened, he's still collecting himself. but he looks in the direction of rex, a little unsure of himself, but he approaches quietly. ]
Nice work out there today.
[ he saw how hard he was working on the bomb and all. ]
[ where DOES he stand with rex now? Rex would like to know too, actually.
The letter in his pocket...the story he told...him being here right now, instead of with everyone else...it does all point to Kotetsu really, truly caring. And isn't this what he wanted? He's the one who decided to give Kotetsu that extra, final chance yesterday.
Kotetsu really does care.
And now Rex...Rex doesn't know what to do with that. He's never gotten this far before. He doesn't know how to accept this, let himself be cared about, even when he wants to.
But everyone keeps telling him to try. That he'll be pleasantly surprised. That it's worth it. And this is as certain of a chance as he'll ever get.
Rex lowers his head with his eyes closed. He takes a deep breath. ]
[ His shoulders relax and he looks at him with such a warm and heartfelt smile. At this point, he moves to sit down next to him, looking over at Rex. ]
Thank you for giving me one more chance. It means a lot to me.

I didn't really do much. Just slotting things together and following instructions.
no subject
You did a lot. I probably would have broke the thing if I had my hands on it.
no subject
...you know what, I can see it. You would've.
no subject
So take the compliment. I mean it. I'm glad we had you there.
no subject
Still. All the power I had to reprogram it, and in the end we still had to just feed them to the bomb anyway.

[ he turns his head to look at Kotetsu again. ]
...so why are you here, anyway, and not with them?
no subject
...You heard what I said today, right?
no subject
Yeah.
no subject
The only story that felt right.
no subject
[ the harpies that supposedly know a true story from a false one and WILL call you out on it. ]
no subject
[ he nods in confirmation. ]
I know they're just words, but... I hoped in that context they would mean more than just that.

Yeah, well...you were so desperate. It was getting pretty pathetic. I figured I might as well throw you a bone.
