( It feels like an unfair cosmic joke, that he should feel fatherly now, but he's not so far gone that he can see someone twisting themselves up in a noose of their own making and not do something. Geto keeps his sigh in check, it would be too devastating otherwise. )
You're fine. You haven't. You wanted to help. It's all right. ( His hands move to pull the boy up from where he's bent, keep him there. ) When you're raised as a weapon it's hard to remember that there is something human there too.
( Isn't that funny? Human, like he hadn't distinguished himself away from those monkeys. Ah, he hates himself a little. That's fine. That's not new. )
But I don't think I'm in a place to keep that at the forefront right now. And I don't really want to hurt you. So I'm saying no for my own reasons. Satoru would not forgive me. I wouldn't either. Let me be sensible for once, no?
