...That's...

[ That's kind of heartbreaking, actually. Forbidden to see someone you care about because of something beyond your control. All this talk about people missing their families is making Yamato really reflect on his own situation.

He can sense that Day is far from happy about this, even if that smile is practiced.

He's familiar with doing it himself, after all. ]

There's no way they'll let you see her, even though they're the ones who took her from you, huh. And they had to be violent about it, too.

[ That's how powerful people work, he guesses. Even if he's in no position to criticize them, given his current standing in society, but. ]

I'm sorry, Day.

To be fair, I think...even if this hadn't happened, we prob'ly still wouldn't be seein' each other much. She wanted to become a monk and I doubt that's changed. Prob'ly one by now. Usually joinin' the order means you put yourself pretty far away from your secular life. And when I wanted to head for the stage, that's even further away from where she was goin'.

[ It's just that rather than bidding farewell when they were ready, it had to happen the way it did instead. ]

...But thanks for listenin' to this, even if it ain't a happy story.

[dadsandals]

Yeah. I get that.

[ He doesn't have much more to say, but his expression is one of understanding and sympathy. He wishes he had a family member he'd like to see again, but alas. Still, Day's pain is valid and real, and he gives him a soft smile. ]

Of course. It's fine if it's not a happy story. Not like what I told you was one, either, anyway.
