Of course I wouldn't be that reckless! In fact, we only ended up there because a swarm of butterflies kidnapped us!
[Ugh, that... That sounds so stupid out loud. But it's the truth, and Hajime's been here long enough to know that it's a perfectly plausible occurrence, right?
Something like that could happen to anybody. It could happen to him. A sickening weight drops itself in Kiyotaka's stomach, and he can't shake it. The anxiety of knowing that something bad already did happen to him because of Kiyotaka's recklessness. That doesn't make sense. He feels like he witnessed something terrible, but Hajime standing here is a testament that it didn't really happen, so why...?
He's already decided that he should practice swordsmanship for the sake of defending others against whatever's up there. But right now, above all else, he wants to protect him.]
This has to go both ways! You can't do anything foolish either! Show some concern for yourself...
[His breath hitches a little in his throat, and he reaches out to make that physical connection again. His hand goes to Hajime's shoulder, just at the crook of his neck, and in one simple motion he pulls himself in closer, pausing when their noses are inches apart.

And he bows his head.]
...Please.
