[ ...ah. laurence just watches in silence for a moment, before pulling a chair up to the bed, reaching out to gently touch his arm somewhere he isn't so torn up. ]
You know, last week, I was supposed to kill Iris at that casino? Lucas was there, too - he and Zhongli fought, and I don't even know exactly how it ended for him, except that it was bad and there was blood everywhere... [ he shudders. ] It's a miracle the ribbon Zhongli gave me wasn't soaked, too.
Lucas was still here in heaven the whole time, though. Didn't know a thing about what I was saying. It doesn't feel that way now, but it's the same for Anders.
[ laurence doesn't pull back so kaworu will just have to deal with this for now. he has no idea what to say to this, though. comforting someone is hardly a talent of his in the best of times, let alone like this. ]
...I'm sorry. These things... it's like they're made just to screw with us. It's fucked up.
Well, what matters now is that you're back and you can be taken care of. Maybe someone's got one of those dumb little band-aids, too, so you won't have to be totally miserable all weekend.
I'll be fine. I just need to rest here. I don't mind being miserable.

I know. I know he's done. But it's that I did it. No one made me, I just did it. I still see his face. He looked terrified.

[That's been his life since the day he was born. He's just tired.]
