[They were relatively well put-together last week, at least, so he has... hopes... They may not be High Hopes but they are hopes and they are there. He nods, at that.]
Thanks. [And then, with a grateful squeeze of her hand:] ...Thanks for that, too. Tomorrow's gonna suck, but it feels a little better like this.
[Knowing that there are people who will support and understand and do their best to help.]
[He's pretty much of the same exact opinion, there. If they can find what needs to be cut down, things won't be - fixed. But it'll be easier to swallow, even if it's a situation like last week and whoever is responsible didn't act in their clear mind.]
...Kinda wish I'd picked out something nicer to wear now, though.
There's still time. What better time to dress to kill?
[ Even if the one who killed Buzen was compelled to, whose emotions and thoughts were manipulated, it doesn't erase the feeling of loss. It won't be fair, but things can't be so clean cut even with swords. ]
We can pick out something else for you. An outfit change, if you want.
[Buzen is so dead. Kashuu may just consider turning up with a second outfit after all.]
...Thanks, Roxana. Seriously. Um - I'm not really good at talks like this, but... I think it'd be a lot harder to face tomorrow without being able to have 'em.

Hah - even Buzen might've scolded me for doing too much if I did something like that.
[The absolute hilarity of him disappearing behind the privacy screen and coming out with a different outfit, though.]
I'll figure something out.

[ Also, Buzen is dead. ]
If it helps you feel better in a time when you're hurting. I don't think so, but use your best judgment.
[ Roxana doesn't think it's disrespectful if he's not doing it to detract from anything. ]

[ She thinks, for someone who seems so tactile, that being alone would be worse. ]
We'll face tomorrow together.
[ She slips her arms around him in a loose hug. ]

...Yeah. We'll be able to do it.
[AND THEY ACTUALLY DO BUT NOTHING FEELS BETTER.]
