[ This cute little schoolboy looks like he'd just come back from a schoolyard tussle, clothes disheveled, cheek bruised, ugly dark marks that wrap around his neck— and then the way he beams when he spots Reigen, hurts immediately forgotten as he runs up to him. ]
Reigen!!
[ hiiiiiiiiiii he's still getting himself into trouble ]
[how adorable. i think he came here all confident like he had a plan in mind for how to talk to him about his killing spree but he's totally thrown off by seeing him obviously beat to shit. well, the beat to shit part he kind of expected but the neck thing is. distressing. he may be a murder ghost but also he is a child, and danny is also a murder ghost so maybe he should relax.]
...Hey, kid.
[putting a hand on his head distractedly, rustling the cap.]
[ I like how there's zero hesitation before "Danny did this" ]
It's okay, I've got plenty!
[ Not that he's going to use them. He doesn't care enough, and never even bandaged himself after all his """schoolyard tussles""" if his teacher didn't care enough to do first aid for him. ]
[theoretically it could be satan which would actually make him a lot angrier, but no. probably danny. who in his mind is like 7 years old emotionally so its less distressing probably.
he had such a plan in mind to deliver some tough love but he was disarmed by the injuries. giving him a hug right back.]
I missed you too, but nope. Datz is going to flip if he sees those bruises. Remedy time.
[hands in his pockets, firm. he... isn't going to force hanako to accept a remedy if he really refuses to, but he also doesn't want to keep playing this game.]
I think Datz will be upset if he sees you like this, so out of consideration to him at least, you should take a remedy. I'm not going to make you, but I'm telling you what I think is the right thing to do.
[ Ugh. He was hoping Reigen would take the bait, but instead he's insisting on acting like a responsible adult wanting to make sure the kids are safe. Is it the right thing to do? taking care of himself? debatable. ]
...I'll just end up getting hurt again afterwards anyways, so there's no point. Besides, you should be saving those remedies for the upcoming encounter. That's when people will be hurting and need the help. This is nothing.
Hey. I'm not arguing, I'm telling you it's the right thing to do for the people who care about you and have already had to worry a lot the past couple days. You can decide if you're going to listen to me or not.
...I know how to swim. I've seen it. I don't really feel like going there to swim right now. I only like to go swimming with people who think about other people's feelings.
[ The correct answer is probably no, but he also knows he does all sorts of horrible things for the sake of whoever he's slighting. It's for their safety, or happiness, so isn't it alright? ]
Well, no offense, but I don't think you're doing a great job at it.
[it is emotion share week so i'll say that he doesn't really seem angry. more than anything, he's a little sad and exasperated, and a little awkward, because he really doesn't like to scold people but he's realized that never scolding someone is sometimes pretty unfair.]
Geez. You're so smart, you know? [well. but.] You work harder than anybody. But you really don't get this, and it's a big problem.
[ There's no offense taken, because he already knows that's how he is. He does brighten up when Reigen says he's smart and a hard worker, but overall it's just this... mild confusion over why this is such a big deal. ]
...you're right, I don't get it. I want to protect the people I care about, and I'll do anything to keep them safe. As long as they're safe, it's fine if they end up hating me.
[ It's not fine, and it hurts to think about it, but if he had to choose between ensuring somebody's safety and receiving their love, he'd choose safety every time. ]
Janeway was mean to you, and Danny made Nimona feel bad.
[ so he killed them, as is the normal reaction to such things ]
Vane... The entire Fox team, really. They're some of the nicest people I know, who stuck it out until the last second and they still hadn't killed anybody. So I helped.
[ "they're been planning on-" HE DIDN'T KNOW he didn't want to take any risks, when he could secure a guarantee with his own hands ]
[his heart sinks a little at the confirmation of what his problem with janeway was. great. that's what she'd theorized, but he hates that it was right.]
No. You didn't help. I understand it was your intention to help the Fox team, but what actually happened didn't help. It made everything worse for them. Likewise - killing Janeway or Danny didn't make Nimona or I safer. And it definitely didn't make your team safer.
[he sighs, a little reluctant, but.]
You actually put a lot of people in danger. I need you to understand something. If you'd been caught at any point, the person who would have died because of it was Datz. Or, if it was the week you killed Satan, the week I was the other culprit, the person who died would have been me. Datz and I have discussed this before. You might disagree, and think it's wrong that it would happen like that, but it doesn't matter. You're lucky you never got caught enough that something like that had to happen, because if it had, it would have been your fault.
[ It's wrong. Despite everything, he looks up to both adults, knows he can count on them, knows her can come to them, knows they've been helping keep everybody together. And then there's him: a brat, a twerp, the evil spirit of a murderer and all those things people have called him and they're all true. ]
If they had to choose, they'd choose you. Because you're alive, and you can do so much. I'm already dead, so there's no need...
[okay. crouching a little to get more on eye level, putting a hand on his shoulder.]
...Hey. Look. I just - I just want you to understand that it's serious, okay? I know this is hard for you, too. But I need you to understand that we care, and that we would choose you, so you can't go around acting like the risks you take only hurt you.

Reigen!!

...Hey, kid.
[putting a hand on his head distractedly, rustling the cap.]
Let's get you a remedy, huh? I got an extra.
no subject
It's okay, I've got plenty!
[ Not that he's going to use them. He doesn't care enough, and never even bandaged himself after all his """schoolyard tussles""" if his teacher didn't care enough to do first aid for him. ]
I've missed you so much.
[ BIG HUG ]

I missed you too, but nope. Datz is going to flip if he sees those bruises. Remedy time.
no subject
Ehh... It's nothing new he hasn't seen before.
[ it's a weekly occurrence for him, getting beat up, slow to heal and doing nothing to help his body along if Will doesn't come grab him by the scruff
But he follows Reign anyways, because of course he does ]
Have you been to the beach already? Tama's teaching me how to swim, so if you don't know yet, I can teach you!

[ he's not going to listen ]
So, about the beach...
no subject
no subject
[ he does. the problem is that he ignores it and continues doing what he's doing anyways ]
no subject
And if you think something is going to hurt someone's feelings, do you keep doing it?

no subject
Who was safer, because you killed those people?
no subject
[ The first thing he did was get rid of Satan! you're welcome! ]
no subject
I don't think so. I don't think killing Janeway helped any of those people, or killing Danny, or Vane.
no subject
[ so he killed them, as is the normal reaction to such things ]
Vane... The entire Fox team, really. They're some of the nicest people I know, who stuck it out until the last second and they still hadn't killed anybody. So I helped.

no subject
[ He's indignant, angry, not at the claim that it would've been his fault but that it would've been Datz or Reigen who would've taken the fall. ]
That's a lie- both of you are beloved, and nobody in their right mind would vote for either of you, especially not to protect me.
no subject
Sorry, but that's how it would go.
no subject
