[For a moment, Eichi hesitates again. Wataru is asking so much of him. It's not something unfair— he'd do the same if he was in his shoes. But that's what worries him. Here he is, an undefeated "Emperor", someone who climbed corpses to the top. Someone with no close attachments, who everyone abandoned. Someone chasing after death, if it means achieving his goal.
But looking straight at Wataru and into his eyes, he sees something so much more than this silly moment. He sees not just the person he's been longing for this entire time, but someone he's longed for for lifetimes. Someone that fate isn't tying him together to, despite how it may seem— but someone that fate is punishing him for, ripping apart from him time and time again.
He wants to stop it. He wants to reach out and hold him.
And so, he relents.]
It will be a difficult thing... [He has to explain that he's struggling, that he can't walk into this so eagerly when everything is at stake. If Wataru uses this, uses his feelings that he may have found out from someone else and burns him to the ground with it, then what does he have left? Nothing. Anyone would be afraid.]
But I am prepared. I decided that early on. No matter what this may be... I'll bare all, as you say.
