😀 Love it!
“I can’t believe you almost attacked Touka,” Hinami snaps, shaking her head. She’s furious, sure, but grateful their bond hasn’t been severed.
“It was for Aogiri! For a better world than the one :Re is presiding over,” snaps Ayato. Hina has clearly chosen a blank room without windows to correspond with him. “I see you’ve reached a planet, at least.”
“No thanks to you.” Her eyes soften. “There’s still hope for you. I saw your future, Ayato, and I know it was you.”
“The future is never certain.” Ayato shakes his head. To be honest, he’s glad Touka and Yomo are alive. Even if that shitty Yomo gave him another beatdown before the rest of Aogiri. Seidou positively luxuriating in his humiliation.
“You can still come back,” Hinami says.
“I can’t. It’s too late for me.” Ayato blinks.
“Wait, so you know it’s wrong? That means it isn’t too late, Ayato. Are you happy as ruler? Is it anything you wanted other than than power to feel better about yourself? And you don’t even feel better about yourself.” Hinami says with tears in her eyes.
“Shut up!” Ayato cries. “It could have been everything I wanted, if you were here.”
“You’re glad I’m not.”
“Are you crazy?” Ayato glares at her. “I need you!”
“And I need you. The world doesn’t, but I do.” Hinami’s tears spill over her cheeks as she whispers, “Talk to you later.”
Their communication fades, and Ayato punches the wall, over and over and over…and still he feels worse.
