03 - the morning after we talked all night of dreams, we stepped lightly - [Video]
[All that's shown on the feed at first is Tatara's face; there's a dark smudge followed by へーき、へーき (It's fine, it's fine) on his forehead, and he looks rather worried. There's also a monocle, mustache, and various tired lines painted onto his face.
But that's not the important part. There's a moment of rustling, then the SFC falls into his lap, showing that someone (Anna) has tied his coat into a bow, trapping his arms at his side.]
Can someone come untie me? I woke up like this.
[It looks like he's back in HOMRA now, though he has no idea when he got here.]
Has anything important happened?
[No one's left, right? ...King, Kusanagi-san, please don't hit him on the head for sleeping so much.]

... the bubble broke.
action;
And it got fixed again?

action;
[But it's kinda blue...]
action;
The island is nice, but I do think the way things are set up here work better for people.
action;
He nods.]
There's more shops and things down here so it's more convenient, right?
action;
action;
[There's a pause and he shrugs.]
That sounds interesting, but I doubt it's true.
action;
I doubt that, too, but you're right about it being interesting.
action;
No one left or showed up while I was sleeping then?

[A pause.]
Unless he gets a fever again... He collapsed after helping me that time.
action;
action;
A while ago. Before we started calling him the Black Dog.
[He smiles.]
I only learned his name here. I think maybe he forgot about that time, when he saved some guy who was being chased by two thugs.
action;
Though, really... I haven't even known him that long myself.
[It makes his connection to Kuroh a bit odd, all things considered.]
action;
Did you two meet after...that night?
[That night is still not something he really wants to talk about, but...is that why Kuroh and Shiro met?]
action;
action;
He rubs the back of his head again.]
I'm very sorry for the trouble my friends caused the two of you.
[Maybe if he hadn't brought the camera with him that night...But there isn't any point in thinking about that.
It's fine, it's fine. It'll work out somehow...Right?]
action;
action;
[He's still going to apologize. If what he's guessed is correct, they did basically what he never wanted them to do; they forgot about the good times they had together and focused on revenge. He just wanted them to stay happy.
...That better not be why King lost his flames. K i n g. If his smile seems a little strained a little bit after, it's because of that.]
action;
Even... if that meant using their desire for revenge to accomplish it.
[Shiro had been taken away before he had ever found the two warring Kings, but his dream some months back showed him what he had expected was going to happen.
Did Mikoto lose his flames because of Shiro? He can't be completely sure, but that strained smile certainly says a lot.]
... I'm sorry. In some ways it was selfish of me, and I'm sorry I ever put anyone in that position.
action;
If I'm right, you aren't the one who needs to apologize. ...Why is he such an idiot?
[What part of "Even as time passes and our paths part, I want you to continue to protect, without breaking, look straight ahead without looking back" is hard to understand? What part of "Your powers aren't made to destroy; they're made to protect" is hard to understand? Why didn't King understand what he meant? Was it really that hard to understand? He knew he was going to die; he didn't know when, but he knew. He just wanted King to stay with HOMRA, with the best family he'd ever had. Why didn't he listen?]
action;
And... I think in some way he knew that. Revenge might have been a motive for part of it, but he was also sparing anyone else the pain that he and the others went through when they lost you.
action;
I'm not mad that he killed him. I'm mad he probably got himself killed because he killed him.
[He tilts his head.] Does that make sense?
[He's mad that he put HOMRA through the pain of losing someone twice. Not that Mikoto killed the Colorless King. Making it so others don't have to go through that pain is kind of pointless if that very action makes your friends go through that pain again.]
action;
But I suppose that comes with a price, doesn't it?
