I have no idea what to do with myself without him.

Just a few days and I feel completely helpless. I thought he was the one clinging, but I am the one who is clinging, right? But he is like this now and I do not even know how to take care of his pets while I wait.

I have fed them but what else do these chicken things need? Food, water, warmth... what else? Am I doing this right? I have no idea.

I hope he is normal again soon. I can't take this. Maybe my wish backfired. My bad luck again, I guess.

Because... you're used to it now.

[...]

You're used to no longer being alone. And... that's not something you should be used to, either.

Is that so...? Maybe learning to be around people has not truly been helpful to me. How will I go back to this when I leave here?

[messianic]

... Even if you go back home after all of this... you don't have to be alone.

[And, firmly:]

In fact... you shouldn't resign yourself to being alone. Now that you're learning what it's like to be around people... it's okay to want more, Sinistra-san. It's okay to think you deserve more.

Minato, if I go home, I return to death. How would I escape loneliness... if my brother doesn't remember me, he won't know I am there with him.

Sinistra-san...

[Minato reaches out for his hands then, holding them loosely in his own if Sin will let him grab them, and then, while he doesn't raise his voice, his tone grows all the more certain.]

Nothing is impossible.

I don't know yet how or what will be the best outcome for both you and your brother... but we'll find a way. I'm sure of that. So please... please don't give up hope yet.

[ He allows it, but for once, doesn't seem to be happy about the contact. It's times like these where Minato seems so naive. It's almost painful to listen to him right now. ]

It is hard to give up what I barely had to begin with.

[messianic]

[He can tell. He knows that Sinistra doesn't believe him... but even so, this is what he believes, and he won't give up on that.]

I don't want you to give up on any of what you've gained here.

It... it wouldn't be fair for you to have to at all.
