[ yeah, giyuu goes completely sober before shinobu is even done speaking. all of those previous drinks and the fuzziness of around his judgement disappear as he just is hyper aware of shinobu and her words.
the there will be no hesitation once giyuu decides to wrap his pinkie around her's. promises like these are important to her and it's taken him this long to realize it. he thinks back to the night before everything changed for the three of them and how she promised him like this too... another memory and a reason why he refuses to tremble and stand firm.
however, at the same time, there's a tenderness to his voice. he isn't entirely aware of what she broke but he remembers how she stood before him the moment they both arrived here and the difference between the two forms says enough to him. ]
It might take me a while to find it, Kocho, but I will look for it.
[ because it's very obvious how giyuu does not seek his happiness nor thinks he deserves it. he's working on some of it. he remembers that his life is not his own and he knows that those who leave him are still with him somehow... still, this is shinobu's final request of him and he would hardly reject it. he just wants to be honest with her. ...with the both of them.
he'll look over at dimitri for a moment before steeling himself. ]
And Dimitri's right—you won't lose this.
[ the three of them will find happiness. somehow. ]
[ That's all she wants. All she wants is for the both of them to try, for them to look. All it takes is one step before they can try to take another. Bit by bit, inch by inch, maybe they can reach a better place.
Her happiness lies with the happiness of others. After all, once this is said and done, where does she have to go?
It gives her some peace of mind. ]
I didn't know if I could make a promise like this again, but I wanted to try—with you two.
[ With all that's fraught between them, this, she thinks, can begin her return to being something more like herself instead of a faint facsimile of herself. She hooks their pinkies together and releases them. ]
I don't expect it to come easy to either of you, but that's what makes it more meaningful.
