Hiccup.

...

[ He'll wait until Hiccup responds. ]

[worstvikingever]

[He takes a moment to recover.]

Yeah, Souji?

[inababanchou]

I would have done the same thing. Everything.

[ He pauses. ]

If I would have experienced what you have, I would have let rage consume me.

[worstvikingever]

I... [He's quiet for a moment, but not for long.] I don't know what to do. Everyone keeps offering to help, but I don't know what to do. I don't know what I need help with. I don't know... if I should do anything, or if I should just keep doing what I am doing, or if... if I didn't do the right thing or what the right thing even is.

[inababanchou]

...Keep living.

[ He smiles grimly. ]

This town wants to beat you down, and this town does a good job at doing it with everyone.

It's a lot to ask, especially with what you've gone through and I don't know your relationship with Klaus, but keep your head high and mindful for the opportunity to get out of this place.

[worstvikingever]

...yeah. I guess.

[He's quiet for another moment.]

Thanks.

[inababanchou]

It's not much to offer, I'm sorry. I'm not sure how I can help, but if you want to talk to me about it, I'm here. Or we can go play with some leftover fireworks to take your mind off of it.

[worstvikingever]

No, it's okay. It... does help. Well. It helps a little.

[inababanchou]

Even if it's not now, my offer stands.

[worstvikingever]

Thanks, Souji. I'll... I'll keep it in mind.
