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.

I still think your belief is ridiculous.

[ ...it was nice for a moment. ]

[maddogs]

That's alright. It doesn't need your approval.

[gyokura]

How awfully human of you.

[maddogs]

I know.

[ but he's so much happier now, with the dead back, that he doesn't really need his approval anymore. which is not to say he doesn't care about him - because he does, and likely will for a long time, but that he doesn't need to hang on his every word. a nice side effect of not being as depressed. he's going home, to his loving Family. To Nishitani. To Saejima and Kiryu. If nothing else, being here finally made him realize he's finally happy, back home.

so while he says it, he smiles - a touch sad, that he's in this position, but not upset about his words. ]

I hope Hanyuu-san gets ta show ya a lot of things ya haven't seen before. I think she'll take good care of ya, an' maybe ya'll get to see more humans. I know you can change, because I've seen it over the last eight weeks. Fuck, I'm not even a great example of a person, you'll see a bunch that are better.

I'll keep ya in my thoughts, ya know?

[ What does he say to all of that?

He's silent for a few moments, tapping his time ring as he was prone to do during all their conversations. ]

...I suppose you will. I do not believe in regrets, anymore than I believe that inaction is the right course to take.

[ ................ ]

I have interacted with more than my fair share of humans, for better or worse. However, out of the many I have, I will not forget you Majima.

[ majima laughs happily, his eye lighting up ]

Ha! I'd be fuckin' hard ta forget after the fruits baskets, ya know?

[gyokura]

It would.

[ ... ]

I don't even like apples.

[maddogs]

Shit, did he make ya eat all of 'em?

[gyokura]

Ah no, that was my choice.

...I was being facetious.

[ This is almost kind of nice admitting how awful he is. ]

[maddogs]

Damn, I knew I liked ya for a reason. It's good ta know ya've been givin' him shit in the ways ya could.

[ it's a skill, learning how to annoy your boss. he's. aware. ]
