[ Just what the fuck's he saying? 'Even if Mondo truly intends to, it's a risk he's willing to take'? That's hella absurd! Would you normally trust someone this much? ]
For god's sake...
[ Mondo doesn't lift his head. He doesn't want to ー he knows what to expect.
And yet, every single word that comes out from Ishimaru's mouth still surpasses his expectation, boggling his mind even more. Why? Why would you go that far for some piece of shit like me? He hisses under his breath, wishing he could cover his ears to what's being said to him. I'm a fucking murderer, goddammit! How many fuckin' times do I need to repeat that to get it through you?! Each one of them is so warm, so desperately reaching out to him, so darned... painful.
When he senses a presence before his bowed head, he halts his breathing and closes his eyes, readying himself for what to come. ]
ー!
[ He releases his breath with that, eyes shot open.
Mondo has lost the place to return to. He no longer exists in the world where Crazy Diamond does. Daiya-aniki and Chuck have left him long before that. But Ishimaru's right here, offering him what he's always longed for. Ishimaru wants Mondo to be there, with all his heart, with a sincerity shining so bright it's impossible to avert his eyes from it. He can't pretend to distrust those words. ]
...
[ He hesitates, eyes darting around him. ]
...Eventually.
[ It takes a while, but he finally repeats, implying his agreement to the promise exchange. ]
ah, we're doing so swine 1/2
