[aw.
well that manages to get him to grin easily.]
Yeah, of course! What'd I tell ya? I'd have your back through whatever. Even weird shit like this, so don't worry about it at all, Luca-san. Come on, don't cry. Even if it's happy tears, it'll worry me, you know?
[he'll even reach out and try to run a finger gently along the corner of luca's eyes to catch the tears before they fall]

[Dana this tag is so gay it gave me psychic damage.
And the gay is definitely hitting Luca in his little shriveled heart and he's going to try to pull Mineo into a tight hug, whups.]
I-I'm sorry for worrying you! It's just so muuuuuch!
[He might be sniffling again. He's genuinely moved to tears right now.]

[HE'S JUST BEING HIMSELF STOP - but he's also fine with the hug, laughing as he hugs luca back. it's probably warm and comforting? mineo gives good hugs.]
Yup, I get that too. Don't worry about it. If anything, I appreciate the chance to be the cool one for once....!
[HE WANTS TO PROVIDE THE COMFORT IN HURT/COMFORT!!!!]

[I'm weeping, much like Luca is.]
You're cool, don't ever doubt that. You might be too cool for your own good, you know.
[Just. Hugging and leaning on Mineo right now. Hurt/comfort over Luca being an emotional baby.]

Oho! Really? Now that's something I've never heard before.
[LUCA, MINEO'S EGO DOESN'T NEED THIS well it kind of does. but there's definitely a grin in his voice as he just lets luca hold onto him and he holds him back!! are they still on the floor? i guess?
though he does seem to realize - ] Ah, I don't think I should be enjoying this so much.

[Mineo's ego getting fed today. But Luca's emotions are quickly turning to irritation, because what is controlling your emotions that sounds fake.]
Well then I'll say it again: you're really cool! And it's so annoying because Every time you do or say something as genuine as you do I just want to kiss you for it. But I can't! And it's the most frustrating thing in the world and it's all your fault!
[Yeah they can be seated on the floor, this is fine. He's still hugging Mineo btw, he's embarrassed by his own outbursts.]

[oh.
oh?
oh.
he blinks a few times before he just. laughs a bit and flusters a little.................]
Ahaha... ha.... hah.... Well, uh - that's.... that's really nice, Luca-san! Um....
[WHAT DO YOU DO WITH AN OUTBURST LIKE THAT WHEN YOU'RE A DUMB VIRGIN LIKE MINEO]
But uh... I think I - I can't really do that kind of thing here. Not if it doesn't.... [ . . . ]
There's plenty of people who want to kiss you too though! So - uh, good luck with that....?!
[THE
FOOT IN MOUTH HERE]

[JUST. HUGGING MINEO TIGHTLY.]
I know! I know you can't do that, and that's what makes it so frustrating! Do you have any idea how hard it is to behave myself and not flirt all the time with you!?
[Luca, complaining about the stupidest things that get him worked up.]
You offered to protect me and teach me to defend myself, all when you barely know me! Nobody's been that thoughtful before! I wasn't kidding when I said you are a charmer!

[Luca is now wearing new clothes because he immediately raided the infinity closet (with the help of Yuri). So he's got a new, nice suit on! It's a teal-grey color and looks a bit more modern than what he usually wears.
He's also in much higher spirits now that he's dressed better too.]
Hmm? Of course. You wanted to talk, yes?

Hmm? Of course. You wanted to talk, yes?
Mmm, agreed. I don't take well to crowds.
[He's still smiling though. He did miss Mineo quite a bit.]
I'm glad to be back too. Being dead was so dull.

[he thinks about who else was dead and just
huffs]
... yeah. With that crowd, I can imagine it'd be... rough.
[he's a little too polite for much else than that though.]
... erm. But there is... stuff I wanted to talk to you about. And if you have questions for me too then - you can go first?

Well, if you're going to let me go first, then.
Did you properly apologize to everyone you hurt with that tasteless drivel you set up last week?

[he bows his head at that]
I tried to.
[ . . . he hesitates, like he wants to say something but - ]
... Mm. Well, it's not really worth it. What I did was still wrong - I had my own intentions for it, but I still didn't think it through enough, and I hurt people. That's not what I meant for at all, but I still recognize what I did.
I can only try to make up for it moving forward but - if I could take it back, then I would.

What were your intentions, by the way? Since that seems to be important here.
[He seems to accept that Mineo tried apologizing for it all though, so that's good?]

[ . . . . ]
I... There was more than just me - I'm sorry that I can't say more than that.
[it seems like that's as close as he'll get to what he wanted to say earlier]
But... if there was more chaos and unrelated things, I think... it had a higher chance of pointing to someone else on accident, or implicating an innocent person. [or ANOTHER MURDERER as today has revealed] And I would've had to confess a lot earlier if someone else started to get accused.
So the idea was that if we revisited old things only then - even if it was frustrating, then it at least wouldn't put someone else at risk.
But I didn't realize it would be painful, and that was my mistake.

...
Just. Tell me Endorsi wasn't involved in this. Please.
[He will go back on his word to leave her alone if he finds out she was the one who got Mineo to kill someone.
He'll comment on the rest in a moment too but HE REALLY NEEDS TO KNOW THIS FIRST.]

[he shakes his head]
No.
Childe was her friend - for one reason or another. [that's as spiteful as he'll let himself get]
But even if I didn't kill him, someone else was going to - I just went because I figured shooting him would be the most boring way for him to go out.

[He actually seems relieved to hear that? Though yeah he gets the spite there too.]
If it makes you feel better, I'm not mad at you for it. Your actions, while reckless, are understandable.
But you should know that your little charade at the trial involving past cases hurt a lot of the dead, because it made us realize that nobody actually cared enough to try and solve our deaths. But then again it was a truth that we needed to face anyway, and that part wasn't entirely your fault either.

[that.
that actually surprises him considerably, which goes to show that he really didn't think it through that much, and he looks so pained at the idea]
They -
[ . . . ]
Fuck.
I'll - apologize to everyone. That's not... what I meant at all. I thought if someone wanted to go back and rethink old evidence that'd be fine but -
.... I didn't mean for that. I'm so sorry.

But you didn't think about what would happen if everyone didn't want to go back and rethink old evidence.
[Might as well finish that thought for him.]
I know you didn't mean it maliciously, and that's why I'm not mad. But it's something to keep in mind for the future: the actions you take, the actions you don't take, it all affects the people around you. Nothing you do is without consequences of some kind.

[ . . . . he just scrubs at his face then. no eyepatch apparently, because that's been confiscated. he's just going to pull at his own hair a bit before he sighs.
he straightens up then and evens out his shoulders.]
... you're right. I know you are. Everything's connected, and it all counts. I guess I just...
[ . . . what. hoped better from people? that they might want to look back at old evidence at the opportunity? or did it just hurt too much? for all his good intentions, there was still something negative that sprung from it.
and he shakes his head.]
No, I won't make excuses. I'll take responsibility and apologize to everyone I can.

[...so does he actually have an eye under that eyepatch, or...]
That's all you can do, really.
And like I said before, I don't think you did anything maliciously. So learning from it and doing better next time is the best thing you can do.

[oh yeah
he's actually a cutie]
... yeah. I'll do what I can. [but he does still look apologetic]
I have a lot of people I want to talk to so... I'll do my best.
