[Why does he have to say that? Why does he have to be the killjoy, the one saying the words that nobody else wants to hear?

It's because nobody else wants to hear it.

Nonetheless, an honest question deserves an honest answer.]

Because were I to be in your situation-- [because he has been, had been, with his best friend--] ... I would likely react the same way.

[...but it's dangerous. You can't go back, when things are the way they are.]

[rollin]

[ Yata pauses, wondering if Sousei's heard the same words, seen the same things— ]

... But it ain't wrong now, right?

[ He speaks louder, as if it will make his words truer. ]

When someone comes back to you, of course you'd smile and laugh like an idiot! When someone leaves, of course you'd stupidly cry your eyes out! But I don't wanna think about the future until that time comes. Totsuka-san—no, HOMRA's important to me, so as long as they're here, I'll fight for them to the end!

[...Of course? Is that the way it is? He's not sure, honestly. In a way, the fact that he's constantly around Tenka in Cerealia means that Sousei isn't entirely certain that he ever really entirely processed the fact that his best friend basically came back from the dead.

Of course, it's different for him than it is for Yata--for Sousei, going home isn't the end of that strange gift, because Tenka will still be there too.

But if he weren't, would he be able to say that Yata is entirely wrong, and would he be able to act any differently?]

...Fine. [At the very least, he does have to respect Yata's willpower.] Carry that certainty with you, then. No matter the outcome of this, remain standing with your head held high.

[If you can do that...? Then he has no right to lecture at all, and he won't.]

[ Sousei's words resound with the things Mikoto taught him in the past: stand tall and hold your head high. Yata had forgotten once, but he wasn't going to make the same mistakes again. Although unpleasant memories from last December manage to creep into his mind, he shakes his head to push them back out. Taking in a deep breath, he pumps his fist and grins with newfound determination. ]

Yeah, I will!

[ He doesn't know how long it will take before he loses Totsuka and Saya. He's scared to death of losing HOMRA again. That's why he can't waste another moment crying or pushing them away. He runs away, but unlike last time, it's not out of cowardice.

After covering a short distance, he looks behind once more. ]

You too, Sousei!

[deontology]

You don't have to--

[Tell him that.........

... ... ... Is this kid capable of standing still????

He's still not sure that Yata will be prepared when the inevitable time comes and he has to part with Totsuka again, but... for now, he can't think about that. Rather, it is not entirely his responsibility (shouldn't be, at all), and so...

Well, it's not like he could do anything if he wanted to, Yata's already gone!!!

What a weirdo.]
