[ he's not used to reading between the lines for things that are— well, not the death of others. what is kindness? camaraderie? what kind of world is it where people can just come together and no one ends up dead? ]

i know.
you're better about helping others than i'll ever be.
i trust you.

[oorah]

don't say that
you think i was good at helping people before the service?
fuck no. i was a selfish piece of shit.
if i can learn so can you.

[ to hear tetora trusts him is big though, he's internalizing it. maybe even proud of the fact. ]

[nishizono]

i don't think i have the time left to learn
but thanks
i'm gonna try for you, dad

[ does this make it worse? using dad to soften the honesty? tetora thinks so, because he doesn't know better. ]

[oorah]

don't [ he sends it before he means to, shaking his head down at his device. he should know when to leave things be with tetora but he can't. not when the boy is resolved to dying. that won't happen - not on his watch. ]

there's plenty of time
as long as you're here
and we're together
i'm not gonna let anything happen to you.

[nishizono]

[ this makes his chest ache in a way that he's not sure he understands. tetora can't breathe. ]

you can't promise me things like that.
what if i make you break that promise?
what if you have to?

[oorah]

[ he can't think about that. not after what he'd just been through with billy. tetora is probably right, one of them will fuck up and he'll have to make a hard call. except he knows even now that he'll probably make the wrong one if it means tetora lives. ]

i can't promise anyone anything in this backassward place
but i'll still do everything i can

[nishizono]

[ he doesn't want to put frank in a position where he'd have to make a tough call when it comes to him. he's been through enough, the two of them have been through enough - neither of them need something like that at this point in their lives. ]


then you can't die if i can't.

[oorah]

not trying to get myself killed either
don't worry

[nishizono]

i'm holding you to it, too
take care, dad
