[ the going. the journey. all the sights and people along the way.
he looks a little wistful, in that stubbornly despondent way of his when he thinks about his lack of a future, about the fact that he's already at the end of his journey and all that's left to do now is to say goodbye. ]

When I get where I was... I had severed the connection between the living and the supernatural worlds. You won't see me unless you're dead. And I don't want you to die.
You don't know what I can figure out. [she says, stubbornly.] ... I'm not giving up on it. You can resist all you want but if I have to be dragged tooth and nail to a happy ending I'm sure as hell taking other people with me.
[ She is SO stubborn... but Hanako's stubborn too, and he knows this. maybe it's because he's dead, maybe it's because he's just a kid, but it's so hard to change his mind once it's set on something: the finality of death.
And here Nimona is staring the impossible in the face and saying she'll find a way. Living people... sure are amazing. ]

You totally could. You'd be better at it than me. [she peeks at him.] You know, I could really use a navigator for my crew that I'm putting together.
no subject
What were you going to do without a navigator? Set sail and just hope for the best?

[ace compared her to luffy sometimes in his meta and he's not entirely wrong]
Gotta start somewhere.

... I don't know. Anywhere but where I was. [...] It's a cliché but I'm more about the going. The journey.

she's quiet for a bit, and then:]
You know I'm always gonna ask you to come with me. [she knows he won't, he already told her, but.] Over and over.
no subject
[ and he rolls over and gives her a hug for saying that, because he loves that she would, just as much as he regrets not being able to. ]
no subject
... If I managed to figure out how to get where you were, would I even be able to see you? [she's more curious than anything.]

... I don't think I want to be dead, either. [...] Maybe me and Nico could figure something out, though.
no subject
[ it's less to do with his own situation, but it's something even more important to him. ]
Maybe he can do his séance thing and call for me, but it's not the same. I won't be able to hold you like this. And I won't be able to stay.

I hope you can.

Quit it. Stop being cryptic. [she's also tempted to bite him like a brat but she restrains herself.]
no subject
[ he doesn't believe she can do it, but he can still hope, can't he? ]
I'm just happy you'd try that hard for me.
