There are downsides to ignoring a jar meant to stay sealed for twenty days, for the better part of four months. "Mm. I'll bring it to the kitchen, see what we can do with it." There's plenty of people with ridiculously high tolerances on the ship, maybe it's just something to be given to the people to whom the equivalent of a bee created wine cooler would be nothing.
It doesn't need to be said that the weight of Modeoheim still hung heavy, like the metaphorical albatross around their necks.
"I'm pretty sure I'm the only one making it harder for me to leave," he says quietly, putting the jar down finally. "There's this ... gulf of years between us I don't know how to bridge. Just yesterday you were this fresh, eager boy ready to take on the world, and suddenly you're a man grown, with so much time and so much suffering in between. I've contributed to it, even if I never wanted to hurt you."
More than he'd like to think. More than he wanted to dwell on - not just the impact immediate of his own death, but the ripple effects it had later. How much could he have prevented, or changed?
Angeal's sorry too - but apologies.. would be hollow in the face of what he'd done. There was no walking it back, not really. "But there is a point.. where if you have an abscess, no matter how much it hurts, it needs to be opened and it needs to be drained or it'll never heal. There's a lot I probably don't wanna hear, but I still probably need to. What .. had you wanted to say? What was it really about?"
