[squelching]

You... really don't like that man at all, huh.

[ace's beef with a guy who died before he was even born... the unknowledgeable daddy issues.]

Good. [...] I don't regret that I got to meet you, you know. Even if things ended up like this. If there's another world after this one... I hope it's a little better for you.

[selfimmolation]

[ he really doesn't, but also, he had a habit of beating the shit out of anyone who talked crap about him, because. reasons. anyway he looks a little surprised pikachu at what she says and then immediately just kind of. horribly fond and touched. ]

... Thank you. [ ... ] I'm not lying, when I say I've lived a pretty good life. Because I met people like you.

[he won't have to remember it for very long, but. look. they're all squinting at the newspaper by this point.]

[selfimmolation]

[ of course they are holding hands. it's necessary. but she says that and he stares at her a little ]

... You really mean that, huh. [ he says it quietly, like it's surprising, but he squeezes her hand back ]
