Alastair breathed a quiet sigh. He wanted to believe that, but he knew they were both only deluding themselves. It wouldn't last forever. He reached out, wanting to draw Kiryu closer to himself. "If we're gonna make crazy promises, maybe we should start with a few we can actually keep. Like, not getting so caught up in normal life and live every minute to the fullest. Stuff like that."

He didn't take the snap personally, at least. It was a sign that he wasn't alone, that Kiryu had those thoughts, too, and somehow that was a comfort. But a little tactile contact would be even more comforting.
