[He doesn't say it, but it's colder like this. He's scared, he's bothered, he doesn't know how he's supposed to keep going— but it's always thoughts like that that make him try harder. He knows. He just has to try harder, he just has to not give up, to keep going. He has to try harder. His eyes close with a heavy sigh.]

This pain just means that I'm still alive, right? My heart is beating and beating against all odds to keep me alive. How wonderful...

[Said heart rate is still not settling down, so it's clearly not just his excitement causing this. A nurse comes in, finally, not even noticing the shattered glass at the side of the room as she checks something on Eichi's IV and monitors, tells Dodger he may be asked to leave.]

[Dodger stands back and gives the nurse space, but he's more subdued than anything. He just nods along when he's told he might have to leave, and after a moment just offers a shrug.]

I should get going anyway, give you some space. But you owe me a date when you get out of here, so don't think about dying just to dodge that.

[What even is their relationship. Even he doesn't know.]

[finethanks]

You made some interesting promises, so I won't be missing that.

[That's how Eichi decides to respond, tossing Dodger a look when he gets up, ignoring the nurse fussing over him.] I intend to live for as long as I can, even if I look like a demon. ♪ You should go sit somewhere that you won't be shocked so much by that collar of yours.

[He's silent for a moment, watching him as if he's ready to give a quip. But after the moment passes, he just ends up chuckling quietly and giving Eichi a lazy smirk.]

I'll see you around, Angel.

[And with that, he has left. Through a door, because his life is horrible.]
