[He wants nothing more than to pull Hinata close and let him have somewhere he can just be.]
...I always thought they had some form of leverage or tricked you into it. Just didn't tell you the price.
[Except that's not how it is. It makes so much more sense like this. Hinata had stepped up to protect others, at the cost of himself.] ...it makes much more sense like this. Our world is...no. Hope's Peak itself was a creaking corpse that created cracks in the world. They stopped caring about individuals and only seeing what 'benefited' their dogma.
[Hinata shouldn't be alone like this. His emotions are in the link as well, love washing in like the sea and worry racing right behind it. Anger at Hope's Peak, and the sorrow at how one boy felt he had to sacrifice himself because he was nothing anyway. They are indeed more alike than either wants to admit to.]
...I really don't like the idea of you being alone tonight with these kind of thoughts. Please, even if you don't sleep here with me. Go to Chiaki at least.
...I still... [He falters. His own voice cracks. Well, he makes no damn secret he's not that stable right now.]
I understand somewhat, even if it might not seem like someone could. When you feel empty, worthless, not even worth consideration. You want to matter in some way. In any way. ...if becoming something else would get that love you're missing...ah, if that life can be spent in a meaningful way that would benefit others for once...
It would be okay. Right?
Desperate hopes like that...are so close to despair, it's like one is brushing against the other.
