As if sensing his anxiety, Satan whimpers and licks Yurick's face again. The shinki cuddles the dog, drawing some measure of comfort from the loving little furball, before setting him down. He needs to do this on his own, without the dog, without Kuroko, without Sora. This is between him and Arikado now.
"We're supposed to be more than just partners. We should be... friends." He believes what Sora told him, he has to. Eternity in tense silence is as unbearable as returning to nothingness. "Friends aren't distant like we are. Whatever made you feel like this is none of my business, I'm not asking you to tell me something so personal. But... but please stop treating me like a burden!"
There's a huge sting from that, a swelling of guilt stronger than any Arikado has felt from Yurick before. Guilt, for asking to be treated as a human being and not something barely tolerated....
