[And its that guilt, isn't it? That guilt that has stuck to Omi, like a film.]
[Douman reaches up to hold Omi's face in their hands, quiet for a moment. Of course, they have no grief. It is something that humans have, pulling themselves downwards to the depths of their own abyss.]
...What a terrible thing. [And a low sigh.] And you...carry that weight, don't you?
[It's the guilt he's carried ever since that day. A near constant emotion that never really leaves him, no matter what he does.]
... Yeah.
[He's already come this far. He's already admitted this much. Omi closes his eyes and sighs, a little shaky. Like he wasn't quite expecting to admit to this much, but he's already here.]
I didn't find out until later, but he always wanted to be an actor. He had a goal and a dream. That's when I decided to become one too. For him. Maybe it would help him rest in peace.

...Say, what would you show? In the simulation room, if you had to choose one thing.
no subject
For me...?
I don't think there's anything as special. What would you want to see?
no subject
Mmm. This humble priest doesn't know. What is special to you, I suppose.

[They turn their head to kiss Omi's jawline.]
Your prowess as an actor...I'd like to see a thing like that.
no subject
I'm still learning. I don't think I'll ever stop.
no subject
Do you want to be with that company all your life? Or move forward to bigger things?
no subject
I'm not sure yet, honestly.
No matter what, I'll always love it.
no subject
[Douman stares at him for a long moment.]
For someone who seems happy with everything...Omi. What are you doing in a place like this?
no subject
[Because he has to. Because he's used to it.]
... I have regrets too.
no subject
[A tilt of the head. The bells jingle lightly.]
What sort of regrets?
no subject
["For someone who seems happy with everything."]
The kind that relate to friendship.
no subject
...Did you hurt someone, Omi?
no subject
A friend... got into a traffic accident.
no subject
[An accident?]
And you were involved?
no subject
... My friend... had it worse. He landed so damn hard he died of blood loss right after he got taken to the hospital.
