Something about this is funny, because none of the people around him have ever really advocated running away, either— hurtling oneself head-on into tough situations wasn't quite encouraged, but it was never expressly discouraged, either. Even after the few times that Atsushi'd been sat down for a stern talking-to, the cardinal rule of 'don't be a hero' and 'we can't save everyone' was never fully enforced.
So being told to run away is... well. Atsushi laughs about it because it's so refreshing, and takes the proffered hand with his callused palm. ]
No promises about running away, but— I'll definitely keep it in mind.
[ Once he shakes on it, he gently lets go and tips his head to the side. ]
Sorry for asking something that might be impolite, but... are you living by yourself, Chihiro-chan...? I only ask because you seem a lot younger than me...
[ A small girl living all by her lonesome?! Say it ain't so. ]
