Right... There wasn't much point in asking that.

...What do you want to do with it, then? That second chance, I mean.
no subject

[ He doesn't care whatever happens to the rest of these people. He just needs to get out of here. ]
no subject
... Of course... I don't think anyone would want to stay here for long.
[Not in this situation.]

I'm not giving up.
[Rather--]
But it's obvious you don't want to talk about it. So I won't press.

Fair enough.
[ There's the hint of an awkward air falling around him as he goes quiet. ]
no subject
You don't have to really talk with me or anything, but...do you mind if I hang around a bit? Just for the company.
no subject
Vanitas releases a quiet huff, shrugging. ]
If this is the kind of company you really like.
no subject
I wouldn't still be here if I didn't feel that way.
[Minato's a simple boy!!
