i'll turn myself into a gun, because it's all i have, because i'm hungry and hollow
The unannounced but clear implication Hotaru thought there was still a chance for Sunjata has something that’s trying it’s very best to be hope running through Nate’s chest. For too long, he’s pushed his hopes to the side, he’s never dared to put any stock into them, for fear they’d be dashed, or thrown away. ”I believe you.” A near silent murmur, offered in a voice that sounds like wind rushing over a desert dune where it’s pressed in against his wife’s neck.
What would he do without his family? He would be reduced to a snivelling, drink soaked version of himself.
And from there they move right along into the future, a prospect that seems nearly impossible to consider, with how the world is growing around then, dark, lonely corners spreading. Still, Nate devotes a comically large amount of time to the question, his brows furrowed in silent thought. ”Something... for my wrists, maybe?” Wide and thick and sturdy, if he’s lucky, or loud, if he’s less than lucky. The tease in her tone catches along the edge of some deep desperation, Nate jaw working against Hotaru’s porcelain skin suddenly. Working, and shifting to reveal teeth, poised to sink into her neck before he realizes what the part is, and snaps his mouth shut again with a click.
