Settling and quieting against his chest, she hums softly. "He did. Like he had no reason to have regrets or to feel anything but at peace with what had happened." No anger or injustice, no pleading to come back. Clearly happy in Mort's realm, even if he hadn't intended to end up there so soon. "I think time passes differently there, if at all. He just...wanted us to live. To not waste the last bit of our time before reuniting with him." Scoffing a laugh, Ru shakes her head slightly against Tal's clavicle. "Unsurprising. Enzo would be offended if we didn't live life to the fullest in his honor." Or their own. While he would appreciate them dedicating things to him, he seemed to have known that Hotaru would struggle with living for his memory instead of joining him immediately. "I think he knew that part would be hardest for me. When I held him, he begged me to live. I just don't know if I actually am now." She knows things are better, unequivocally. But is she still just going through the motions?
