...Uh, he was talking about how he wished he was dead but said he couldn't die yet, and you told him it was more worthwhile for you to have him around?
sitting on his bed, he listens. honestly, he's touched. there's no reason to expect people to remember things like this about him.
steph was right to worry about him being alone. he doesn't have much of a support system, especially with sanji—probably the one person he could be fully honest with—gone. at this point, despite his efforts, he doesn't even know how he'd change that.]

[She hesitates for a second, before taking the hat off and putting it on his head.]

Don't think I didn't notice you ignoring that first part.

Sanji and I made a pact when we got here—that if either of us was coerced to kill, we'd pick the other as the victim.
So... I'm not really in a position to get upset over his death, when under different circumstances, I'd have been the murderer.

[She doesn't sound judgmental as much as confused.]
no subject

no subject
[Hm.]
It's the willing part I don't get.
no subject
Well, it doesn't matter now.
no subject
[Maybe now more than ever.]

... You came looking for me. That's enough.
[is it? he isn't sure. but the fact remains, natalie's one of the few people who spared him a thought.]

I could play something for you, too, if you wanted. [Like he did for her.] But you'd have to come back to the cabin for that.

[She turns around on her crutches, then, starting to head that way.]
Any preferences?

[Once they get to the cabin and she takes a seat on the piano bench... She thinks for a second before starting to play. She remembers.]

I haven't played it as often as I'm guessing you have, but...
[Hopefully it helped, at least a little.]
no subject
... Yeah. Thanks.
no subject
...It's not a big deal, really.
