All's well that ends well
[ So you've wished the dead back to life, but there's still 2 wishes you have to make. Ultimately what happens from here is entirely in your hands, but for the first time in eight weeks everyone is alive and whole again (even that pesky merman). There is that corruption you should deal with, but surely you know what to do about that.
Once you've settled and wound down a bit, maybe you should relax a bit before going your separate ways. You've earned it.

[He pauses though, at the mention of the omamori.]
I do, yes. What I said earlier was.... an attempt to persuade, I suppose.
[He looks a little embarrassed for a moment.]
But I didn't throw it away. I'm not so callous as that.
[Honestly, it wasn't often people wished him well or gave him gifts to begin with.]
1/2
[ Masumi seems to really brighten up at that. Seems he was worrying all this time it might've been thrown away... ]
2/2
[ He's smiling. ]
Even if you don't believe in luck, it might still work as a protective charm at least.

[A little bit of honesty, which is alright to share now, at the end. He wasn't going to forget anyone he's met here, he thinks. It had certainly been... an enlightening experience.
He looks a little curious, though, at the mention of it being a protective charm.]
Hm? Protective.....?
no subject
[ He rubs the back of his head sheepishly. ]
I didn't tell you that at the time because of...how I was.
I'm not sure it would've worked anyway since these are meant to be more or less applicable for swords, but...
1/2
[He looks... surprised, and frankly touched by Masumi's gift. Maybe it'd help, maybe it wouldn't, but the fact alone that he knew what Ayumu was going through and had given him this...
The sentiment alone meant quite a bit to him, honestly.]
2/2
[He smiles softly-- but the expression is completely genuine.]
You're welcome to visit, you know. If you'd like. I can't promise Tokyo would agree with you, but I promise to cook for you anytime.

[ It's honestly been awhile since he's been this happy, but as Rika said...even he deserved to be happy, right? ]
Alright. I'll see about visiting you sometime. I really don't want this to be the last time we've ever spoken with each other. And...Ayumu-kun?
no subject
[He did deserve to be happy. In Ayumu's opinion, everyone had a right to reach for happiness, regardless of their past mistakes.... and Masumi, for all he'd done, seemed to have a very gentle soul sans the corruption.]
Hm?

Well he certainly didn't expect that... not that he ever expected hugs from people, but from Masumi--
Well. Ayumu's stiff with surprise for a moment before carefully, awkwardly returning the hug with a small smile. He's clearly unused to this sort of thing still... not that it would surprise Masumi any.]
no subject
..So this is what it feels like to give someone a hug.
[ Masumi then closes his eyes with a smile; as long as Ayumu's returning the hug willingly then he'll consider it a success! ]
no subject
Of course, this would be a little weird for Masumi, too. Ayumu relaxes into the hug a little, somehow reassured by that fact. He doesn't have to worry so much about doing it 'properly' or anything. Ayumu's smile grows a little more easy at Masumi's laugh.]
Yeah. It's nice and warm isn't it?
