[ hehe! he smiles at that and bounces back in that way that yves is so good at, compartmentalizing trauma and whatnot. he'll just bump shoulders with adolphe in his friendly way ]

I guess! But you can't go anywhere I can't go with you.

[ he has been so fucking lonely watching his friends die one by one over the years ]

[ Yves is himself as always. There's actually some kind of comfort in that. ]

Yeah? Like where?

I don't know... I always thought that death was more of a lonesome journey than anything, but now that we've got the option for otherwise, I'm really glad.

[ the virches have caused him irreparable emotional damage but these are still his friends who he loves so much ]

I feel bad for leaving Hugo out but... I think Arpéchéle as I left it could really need him.

[ Damn, man. Feels bad? But also-- ]

Just how bad is it there?

[ Poor Hugo........... ]

Well, the curse was cured two years ago. So that's good.

[ . . . ]

But I think without his main research focus to channel his grief into, something in Scien kinda... snapped? So he basically brought the country to ruin while trying to revive Ceres. At least half the population died.

So that's... bad.

[ to say the least. '

yves, internally: still kinda romantic though. idk. ]

[ ............................................................

What does he even say to that?? He just sighs. ]

Stupid old man. No one gets to play around with life like that, not even him.

[ pushes aside the entire reliver stuff ]

Mm. [ agreeing ] I thought so, too. So I ended up facing him in the end... but we ended up both dying from it.

[ which is fine. yves was all blubbery and teary-eyed when he saw adolphe again but he doesn't seem to have much emotion about his own death ]

I hope that it earned a chance for everyone left, if nothing else.

[ Wow. Now he's peeved! Hello? Don't touch his boy, Scien?? As if he needed anything else to think badly of him for. He's incredibly annoyed by that. ]

... I would hope so too.

[ C'mon, Hugo. Do something about that, please. ]

Did the Royals get into conflict with him? With how he run everything while that happened.

[ lowkey wishing they died in that one half of the dead population ]

... yeah. They're the ones who ordered the attack on the orphanage.

[ a little more reluctant to talk about, since that's truly such a dark thing to do but. damn those cartoonishly evil virche royals. ]

Scien was being blamed for a lot of things that he didn't do. Even if I don't agree with what he did after everything... it was really complicated.

... I see.

[ He'll put that under a "you had to be there to understand" sort of category. Fucking Royals. ]

But that sounds right. Nothing is really in black and white, after all.

Yeah.

[ quietly. just... yeah. though he'll eventually gently nudge adolphe with his elbow ]

... you okay? It's alright if the answer's no. It can be a secret between us two.

[ Gentle nudging... sweet yves. ]

I'm--

[ --fine. That's the first reflexive thing to say. After all that though? Is there even a point to keeping that up? Yeah, Yves was right here. He doesn't want to worry him. ]

... I'll be fine.

[ He will be. ]

[

pouts a little ]

Adolphe....

... What?

[ Stop making that face.... please............... ]

I know you're gonna be fine. I've always known that about you. You've always been the most reliable person I've ever known.

But if you're not fine in this moment, then... we're friends, right? I think we're best friends. [ thanks yves ] So I wanna support you, too, instead of relying on you all the time.

[ and he loves relying on adolphe! using his house as his own? the best thing ever! but sometimes yves has to pull his weight too ]

[ The most reliable person.

He wishes he could believe that. Truly, but he just can't--not especially after what he'd just learned. But he has to keep his cool. He can't fully break down. He can do that on his own time. ]

Yeah. Of course we're good friends.

[ No hesitation either way. ]

Thanks, Yves.

[ stage whispers: ] Best friends.

[ stupid!! but... he watches adolphe for a moment longer, his expression still not totally convinced, but he won't push. they've all got their emotions to work through. ]

... of course. Anytime. Always.
