He opens his mouth to respond--but the lingering remnants of this place kick in before he can, giving Caelus an answer in a different way.]
[ if there's one person caelus doesn't want to cry in front of, it's kanda. so, when the memory becomes too much and his eyes grow warm, he's wiping at them immediately. he understands better now--not completely, but enough to see the picture within the frame, to have an idea of why there was no squirming his way into kanda's heart. maybe lavi will manage it, someday. maybe someone will convince kanda it's going to be okay again. he'll feel happy again. he'll forgive himself. ]
You have to go.
[ a nod. agreeing with his own words because caelus needs to hear it more than kanda. ]
