Natsuno, I'm honestly happy that despite everything that happened you managed to find your important person, and accept who you are.
...And if there's ever anything you need, remember that I'll always be there for you. That hasn't changed and it won't now.
[ After all, Natsuno is one of the few people he can call his friend. ]
You just need to deal with Nirrti. That's the one thing we can't do, because we're no longer on the board. Everything else is secondary. I'm living proof right? Death isn't as inescapable as it's painted.
Don't worry, I think we've had that handled. I think I have faith in the others too--we'll all be able to come up with something, even if it's not turning out how I expected.
[ But, maybe that's for the best. ]
At the same time, we're not going to just leave you guys stranded either. I know we can manage both.
[ He understands the priorities well enough, though at the same time he's not about to leave it just at taking care of Nirrti. Those who are 'no longer on the board' are still firmly in his mind and obviously still with them.
I don't really. But I have faith in you. [ Maybe that's a bit heavy, but it's the truth. Trust isn't something he gives lightly, so it needs to be said. ]
I know. But we can. I promised Anon I would wake him up, no matter what it took.

Thanks I-thanks. [ ... ] I can't help you directly as Watanuki's piece, but there might be other ways.
no subject
Hey, it's not a problem at all.
[ He looks thoughtful at the rest of that, though. ]
Other ways?

[ Having so much faith in him...that's nice to know, but all the same Riku knows that it's not just resting on his shoulders.
He just releases a sigh, but at the other male's words, he considers them carefully. ]
He's asleep?
