[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...]
That's what I mean. [Adam was hurting. He was suffering. He's Omori's friend. Omori promised to keep death far away; he couldn't, so he made it come quicker.
[But it hurt Omori too. Adam didn't entirely mistake his meaning.]
[Omori nods, wiping at his eyes again. He's done crying - not built for that sort of thing, really, though sadness, depression, misery have always been programmed in...]
[Omori stares up at Adam. He's far less expressive than Sunny, who can't be described as "expressive," anyway, even on a good day; still, there's something to that gaze, questioning.]
We're friends. [As if...to confirm.
[Even after that, Adam isn't walking away? It was so easy for everyone else...they didn't even know Sunny was a murderer...]

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.

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.

[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...]

…Yeah, I get it. It was either that or leave me there to bleed out, right?

[He did straight up die!]

no subject
He can’t really make it better, he can’t say it was all fine and none of it matters.]
Hey, at least you didn’t leave me alone.
[His voice is quieter, more sincere. That - at least - meant a lot to Adam.]
no subject
I won't.
no subject
[He prays it doesn’t happen again. He knows it probably might.]
Same goes here.

We're friends. [As if...to confirm.

I'm just trying...to protect him.
no subject
Yeah. I know.
Does he know how much you do for him?
no subject
He hates me.
I hate him too.
