[Souji is, surprise surprise, in the di-- Actually, this time he's in the kitchen. For a change of pace. He's got the device propped up on something so that he can talk at it hands free. Sitting in front of him is a piece of the rainbowiest rainbow cake a person could possibly make.]

Today is my sixth anniversary.

[He nudges the cake a little toward the camera.]

So I made cake. There's plenty of it, so I'll leave it here in the kitchen in case any one wants to have some.

[With a smile that seems quite tired, he shifts the cake to one side, and glances after it. With his gaze still cast away from the camera, he asks:]

How long have you been here? Do you want to go home? [He looks back at the camera again, his expression more thoughtful than tired now.] I'm kind of...doubting myself in that regard.

[At that, Minato took his hands out of his pockets. He leaned a little into Souji, hearing and seeing the ocean and its waves.]

Maybe a piece of me will always be with you.

[Even the tiniest piece of him might help.]

[Souji put his arm around Minato's shoulders.]

It will be. You will be.

[Minato leaned a little more into Souji now.]

When we're together again at home, I'll never leave you.

[eatsyourscience]

You, too.

[Souji lowers his leg, both feet dangling now, so that he can lean into Minato as well.]

[Minato leaned into Souji so they were both holding each other up. He wanted to sit here for a while and just think about his future with Souji at home.]
