instead, he'll just offer as much comfort as he can, unaware of the unfairness of this situation in Chizuru's eyes. how can he know if she won't tell him, though? his memories of that time long-passed are all but gone, little more than a heat mirage dancing over the surface of this new life that he's been given by a sister that he can't even remember.]

[his voice is soft, even, steady. he is doing his very best to be a pillar of support in every sense of the word, trying to give her that stability that she's let slip in the past few minutes.
if the food cools, that's fine. if the tea is spilt and forgotten, it's okay. his priority right now is to make sure that Chizuru can return to some semblance of normalcy without it being forced.]
