[ there's a breath here, a moment where Fushiguro considers asking Monts a simple question:
"what were you afraid would happen?"
but he can't bring himself to ask it (he thinks of his classmate from back home, bright-eyed and good-natured, nursing a curse between his ribs). instead, he tenses; it's only when Monts mentions the scent of seaspray that he thinks to relax.
(how many people in this world continue to be unfairly punished for something they're not responsible for?) ]
ーWe must be close to the end. [ he breathes, his hands in his pockets. ] ...You think you can make the walk back?
