[ Leto reaches out to shake him gently. ]

Sable.

[axeboyfriend]

[ Shinjiro blinks once, twice. He turns his head to look at him. ]

Dune.

[ It's all he can say, the weight of nearly his whole lifetime on him at last— the bad, yes, but also the good— and he can't even imagine how Dune did it with several lifetimes worth. ]

[precedented]

[ His expression softens. ]

How was it?

[axeboyfriend]

It was....

[ Shinjiro sighs, a soft sigh of breath he didn't even know he'd been holding. ]

...a lot better than I thought it would be. More happiness than I thought... and sadness... and...

[ He leans slightly, putting his head on Dune. ]

[precedented]

[ He runs his fingers through Sable's hair quietly, like Naha used to. ]

There are worse ends, scattered in time. Worse paths one could have taken.

[ He breathes, a silent benediction. ] This was not one of them.

[axeboyfriend]

[ Yeah, at least he's from the timeline where he actually survived October 4th. ]

[ Though he doesn't say it, he appreciates the touch of Dune's fingers in his hair. ]

Well, there's that. [ He chuckles slightly. ] I'm... glad I did this.

[precedented]

[ He hums lightly. ]

Ah, well. You know how the old saying goes. "Dune is always right".

[axeboyfriend]

"Dune is always right", yeah. And Sable should've listened sooner.

[ He lifts his head back up and smiles at Dune. ]

I'll keep it in mind next time I'm being stubborn.

[precedented]

That will be the day. Not to say stubborness isn't endearing.

[ He presses a light kiss to Sable's forehead. ]

[axeboyfriend]

Heh. I think it's encoded into my dna.

[precedented]

Oh, is that your excuse?

[axeboyfriend]

[ Shinjiro shrugs. ]

It's the one I'm sticking with.

[precedented]

Well, I suppose I must let it slide.
