[Foolish, maybe, but Namazuo just nods. He gets it. He gets why Kashuu would want to believe that, why he'd tried so very, very hard to focus on the positive. Isn't that what Namazuo always does? Most of his brothers have never even been here, but Kashuu has had to watch his loved ones come and go for so long...
What's foolish is this. Lying here, being useless, making people seek him out like this. He died, and it was terrible, and he's caused enough pain and worry as it is. Isn't he the one who should be doing the comforting? Isn't that how it's supposed to be?
Slowly, he sits up, but it's only to lean over and rest his head on Kashuu's shoulder. It's meant to be a gesture of reassurance for Kashuu, but he'll quietly take what solidarity he can get from it, too.]
...We need to find out where they are. [Had he been with them when he died? Or had he simply ceased to exist?] ...and how to save them.
