[Of the people Adam expects to come calling, Omori certainly isn’t on the list. Perhaps it’s optimistic, but when he hears the rapping against the door he thinks it might be Night Sky or Lehna - someone that might have noticed him missing - or Xie Lian come to tend to his rat friend.
Despite the state he’s in, there’s certainly no harm in answering the door.]
I’m coming - just - one sec -
[He peels himself out of bed (he’s stayed in there ever since he dragged his sorry self back) and stumbles to the door. He’s out of moonglow. He’s painfully sober.]
Hey -
[He opens the door, and all blood drains from his face. His optimism lies dead in a ditch. For a good moment, he says nothing - what the fuck does anyone say in this situation? ‘Hi, remember when you killed me?’
[At this, Omori lifts his head. His glare is too cold for the face that wears it, built for things like timidness and uncertainty. Sunny's eyes look like dark voids.]
Sure, fine. [He sounds a little reluctant, a little bratty, but he agrees.] I won’t tell anyone. As far as they’re concerned I got squished flat by Godzilla.
[Omori's gaze drops to his lap again. He glares, pale forehead wrinkling. The boy's hands grip his pant legs. His words come out childish, petulant, stubborn.]
[A pale hand comes up to wipe something away from the boy's eyes. He shakes his head, stubborn, resolute.]
It's his fault.
I had to...
[It's important to say "sorry" when you've done something wrong, Omori knows, but he didn't do anything wrong. He saved Adam the only way he knew how...]

He settles for something.]
What - what are you doing here?
no subject
[That makes sense. It isn't a bad thing.
[Omori resents it, though. He'd really tried to do the right thing.]
We should talk.
no subject
You think?
[He leans on the doorframe, recovering somewhat he still quite shaky.]
A lot’s happened since we last saw each other.

[He’s being sarcastic.]
Didn’t see you there. You make it out alive?
no subject
Let me inside.
no subject
Got any knives on you?
no subject
Of course I do.
[He feels he shouldn't have to say "I'm not going to hurt you," - he's not. He only did because he had to.]
no subject
…Just keep it in your pocket, okay? I’m feeling a little sensitive right now.
[And he leans out of the doorway to let Omori in.]
no subject
Sunny can't know.

[It’s remarkably easy to say out loud, despite the wound being so fresh.]

Why the secret?

Sunny is weak.
He can't handle the truth.

He'll blame himself.

Sunny is mine. I know what's best.
You don't know anything.
Don't tell him, Adam. Don't tell anyone.
no subject
no subject
It's his fault.
no subject
How? He wasn’t even there. Well - not technically, anyway.
no subject
He's weak. He can't run. We would have gotten away.
no subject
Until they caught up with us five minutes later. Let’s be honest, there’s no way we were both gonna make it out of that in one piece.
no subject
It's his fault.

no subject
…Yeah, I get it. It was either that or leave me there to bleed out, right?
