[ Kotetsu fully removes his mask and stares at Rex. He gives him a wry smile. ]

I don't want you to disappear. I know it's hard to believe someone you don't remember, but I believed in you. I still believe in you. But... please.

[ hi i abandoned this tag for a day because i don't know what to do with this and neither does rex.

It feels too...nice. Too genuine. Why would this random man believe in him, in this den of vipers? When Rex doesn't know his motivations (and maybe didn't know them before, either), and when Kotetsu doesn't know his. It's too good to be true, right?

He just. Angles back, takes half a step backwards, face even warier now. ]

[ He looks ... sad as Rex pulls away, but he gets it. He doesn't know who to trust here, either. But he still wants to believe. ]

Actions speak louder than words, right?

[ He rubs his neck, sighing. ]

I guess... All I can ask is... Hang in there, okay? We don't want to lose you for good.

[ He still doesn't understand why Kotetsu cares so much about some dead stranger to the point of "not wanting to lose him for good." It makes him wonder just what the hell they talked about before--how much, how deeply--and it feels like a yawning empty gap.

It's terrifying.

But at least they can agree on one thing: that they don't want Rex to...die, or double-die, or disappear, or whatever. So. He'll give Kotetsu a slow, wary nod and then start backing away slowly. ]

[ He nods. He... gets it. ]

Well. I hope to see you around.
