It takes me a second to track on what he's saying, but I figure it out soon enough. He's still talking about Ankh like Ankh is just another him. Or a part of him that's missing, or something. Which, yeah, when I really wanted Ankh out of the picture, that was pretty awesome. But now...
I just want us all to be... maybe not friends. But I want us to be able to coexist.
It's kind of stupid and sentimental or whatever, but I don't want to be the bad guys anymore. Any of us. Little Ankh included.
What am I supposed to call him, anyway? He can't just be Ankh.
"I'm not sure." I say carefully. "I guess we have to find out." I stand up again, reaching to put a hand on his head and ruffle his hair a bit. Megumi does that too, only to all of us.
"Do you... How long have you been back? Where have you been staying?" Does he have a family? Should I take him home? My parents really can't handle another kid, and I know that.
[NEVER. I do not believe in cannibalism :( I've been v. good about not feeding Mezool sushi.]]
