“Of course not… T-Tsukasa, I didn’t mean it like that.” Anxiety swept upwards, much like the motion of the boy’s skull as it swerved to face the other. “Do you not know what happened?”
It wasn’t an accusation - it was genuine confusion, but at the same time, Subaru knew this was coming. If this was indeed ‘his’ Tsukasa, or some sort of iteration, it would be completely plausible for them to have no recollection of Meteor G…
But it didn’t make the reality any less painful.
How could be possibly explain the destruction of humanity? How could explain his failures - without imminent fear of being hated? How could he face himself, knowing that at any moment, this illusion of friendship and love could cease to exist, just like everything else?
“Then again, maybe you shouldn’t know.” He glances at the other’s chest, seeking warmth, but knowing better than to partake in such affections.
“Something really, really bad happened… and now i’m not sure what to do…”
Of course he didn’t!! Of course he didn’t mean it like that! Mmh, then it was fine then, right? It was fine! He didn’t have to worry!
-- Oh. But something of a knot in his stomach reappeared almost instantly. Something bad happened? What... what could that be? The anxiety rose, but nothing that it could possibly be occured to him.
“I don’t remember anything incredibly bad happening...” Wracking his brain to figure out what ‘something bad’ could possibly be... He tapped his chin lightly, thinking about it.
“Although I don’t... know how I got here, either. I remember being here, and not being here, but the process isn’t there...”
Not that any of that mattered. An offer of a hug -- gesture of two arms lifting up, he really, really wanted it, too.
“If it was that bad...” Affection might help, right? “... If you don’t know what to do, then maybe take your mind off it?”
