[Wataru speaks his name, and he feels his heart stop. Spoken like that, but still spoken, and he doesn't know how it can affect him so much, but it does. He thinks he'd be happy to hear his name spoken like that as the last thing he hears. It all fits into this mindset... This self-destructive mindset.]

W-what? [But he's stunned, too, by what Wataru is trying to say. It's rare that they're able to speak like this, and so he doesn't know what to make of it. He doesn't understand Wataru talking about hand holding and cologne, and in holding his breath, his cheeks turn a little pink for it. He's glad that Wataru isn't looking back at him.]

I've given you reason for just that, haven't I? It's not only you who would be happy. Perhaps... some people might even be freed.

[Keito.

But he pauses, considers those last words of Wataru's and drops the rest of his thoughts, his arguing that he should be thrown, the background implications of do it, do it!]

...One thing that I understand? I may have a few ideas... but I'd rather hear you simply confirm it yourself. What is it?
