[He hesitates as his brother puts an arm around him. It's slow, but it's progress. It's something. They're both trying to feel each other out, aren't they? ... At least... they have this much.]

Mitsuzane...

[He presses a gentle kiss to the top of his brother's head, trying to keep his emotions in check. He has to, if only for his brother's sake.]

If I had realized... with how things were going, I'm not sure... what I could have changed. But I could have tried. I was blind. I was blind to how much you were hurting, and I never want you to have to feel that hurt again. I know that feeling hurt is inevitable... but I promise that I will at least do my best to help you through it from now on. I swear, Mitsuzane.

... I will be with you... for as long as you wish for me to be.
