but it's funny - because even though yves has talked about the circumstances of his death with people already, anders asks the right one question. one where he thinks some of his own frustration and emotion can shine through. what does it mean to face a friend in your last moments? ]
... I think in the end, we agreed that it didn't come down to right or wrong. I didn't want it to be about that - what people call "good or evil". I understood why he did what he did, even if a lot of people died for it.
[ even if people will think yves is crazy or insane for still having sympathy and love for someone who committed such atrocities ]
But... if he kept going, he would've killed more people that I love—for the sake of what he loved.
So it was just... whose conviction was stronger. And I chose certain death for us both, instead of letting either of us walk.
yves is just going to pull him in for a hug? with all the slouching, they might actually be closer to the same height - but he doesn't seem too worried about that. it's just...
it feels like the action can express more than any words could. ]

I ...
[ he has to go silent for a long moment. ]
I'm sure your friend understood.
[ so guess which side of this he identifies with. ]

he can't remember the last time anyone hugged him, and it's kind of breaking him to think about that. leaning into it, pathetically. ]
I'm sorry.

but well, yves does give good hugs. warm, secure, and so very full of tender affection. he rubs anders's back and won't pull away first. ]
It's okay. I'm sorry, too.
