If Playmaker was honest to himself he had to admit that he was tired. And while someone probably could easily argue with the fact that he was just lacking a lot sleep it was running deeper, on a level most wouldn’t even care to think about.
Yusaku wasn’t unfamiliar to loss. While he barely could remember his real family and cut ties to his found one he had lost a lot people in his short life already. Some by his own choice, some totally out of his control. Being forced to be the reason of this loss like it just had been with Kusanagi-san was something new though. And he still wasn’t sure how to deal with it when the Ignis appeared in his point of view.
Actually he wasn’t even in any position where he could say he cared about it. He was tired and he didn’t want to deal with this. With nothing of this mess. Not about the fact that most of their team was already gone. Not that he had been forced to kill the one person that had become something like his family. Not with the fact that Soulburner was currently in a duel with Bohman that he most likely couldn’t win.
“I don’t.” he replied eventually, eyes still on the ground. It was the truth though. He wasn’t fearing death. Dying probably would mean that he would finally be able to find peace. No more pain, fear, responsibility.
Actually it sounded like a dream right now.
Just that Ai wasn’t that happy with those words though if his expression was anything to go by. But for now the little Ignis stayed silent and somehow Playmaker was glad for it.
“And you?” Playmaker eventually found himself asking. It wasn’t like he was interested in any deep meaning full conversation right now. Actually he just wanted to pass out again to rest a little bit longer but that wasn’t any option either right now. “Do you fear death? Is that the reason why you’re acting like this?”
