[He takes the cup, but he ends up holding onto it for a while to feel the warmth rather than drink it.]

Thanks.

[ Whatever he needs. Whatever... helps. Even if it's just to numb the pain. But he reaches over and places a hand on Rin's head softly. Sometimes words don't work and all he can offer are gestures. ]

Just tell us whatever you need. We'll do what we can for you.

[Rin nods, making Kotetsu's hand bob a little. He's grateful to have so many people here who care. This would be so, so much harder to do if he had to do it on his own.]

Suriel said we can still rescue everyone. They said they would come to find me, when it was time.

So...I guess we'll do the same for Yukio.

[And the others too, but mostly Yukio is on his mind right now.]

[ He pats him softly, but keeping his hand there for the moment. ]

We will. I'm willing to do anything to help those we've lost... to help you. I'm sorry it had to go this way at all.

It's alright, it's not like it's your fault.

[He's saying this, despite having a majority vote on himself and the very likely chance that he is indeed talking to someone who helped set this chain of events into motion. Because he doesn't blame anyone for this except for himself.

Or, well. 'Himself.' Important details there.
]

...but thanks. We'll need to all work together, I think.

[ That does make him hesitant. This place really does a good job at trying to make people doubt others. To hurt trust. ]

But I still played a part in the trial. [ And a nod. ]

There's a lot of good people here. I'm sure there will be more that'll be more than willing to help whatever we need to do.

Good people sometimes have to make bad choices. There's a saying like that..."An eye for an eye leaves everyone with eyepatches"?

[...close enough.]

I can't think about hate anyway. Every time I start having dark thoughts, 'he' starts causing trouble in my head.

[ His hand moves from Rin's head to gently squeeze his shoulder. ]

That's true. It's the best to keep looking for the best part of everyone. You're really strong, you know that?

[He offers a small smile at that.]

It's better that way, isn't it? Instead of always looking for the bad, to look for the good instead.

[ He nods back, offering a soft smile of his own. ]

It is. If you're dragged down by the bad too much, it gets too hard to get up later.

Yeah. So I- I might need some time, but I'll get there. Where I can focus on the good again.

Take all the time you need, Rin. You've been through a lot these two days. We'll all be here for you in the meantime.
