[ lighter. that's all they can hope for. to not feel weighed and dragged down by grief and regret. to find those small singular moments that break the cycle of violence and degradation.
if Geto has managed, there's hope for the rest yet. ]
[ he can almost hear Geto's voice, the melodic up and down. it has always been a source of calm for Nanami's forever disgruntled teenage self. minutes pass, not even dots to indicate he's typing.
what would make him feel lighter? he thought leaving would do the trick, but here he is, back with the school and their sordid business. ]
( That part had been frustrating too, the weaponization of child soldiers. He doubts either Nanami or Gojo allow it to happen quite as strongly these days, but old habits are ingrained. He may be the world's worst curse user but he is also, unfortunately, a mother hen. )
It can't all be surviving. That's the quickest way to not.
[ does Geto really thing his showing up would be more troublesome than his absence? if he wanted to come back. if he really wanted to, his miscreant friends would move heaven and earth to make it possible. ]

But thank you.
For your concern.

Hm, I'm sure. Don't make me worry about you, Nanami. I might end up showing up again, think of the trouble that would cause!
no subject
There is no need to be so dramatic.

I am quite well, I assure you.
no subject
Make sure it stays that way. You're just as important as anyone else.
But fine, fine. I'll leave it be. The girls have told me I can be overbearing.

[ that is an appropriate answer to an uncomfortable topic, right? if anything it shows their common little shithead roots. ]
Well, it's better to have that kind of parent than one who doesn't care at all.
They'll realise that when they're older.

She's grown hers out now.
It will be fine.
Probably.

I'll take your word for it. But I'm sure she'd still just call me out so I'll pass.

Though I think she'd like to hear from you sometime.

Everyone else aside from you two is perfectly reasonable.

I'm leaving him at the side of the road if that's the case.
