[ ...only Chizuru can hear an awfully embarrassing attempt at a young relationship and not think it's that bad. Granted, it did have a lot less revealing 'your girlfriend loves to talk about torture and killing' involved, but is cringe truly that far off from such horrors? It's a matter of opinion, really.
But what's just as typically Chizuru is that last remark--I just hope I have made her happy. That that would be what's on her mind than anything else, like a crippling disappointment. Has he thought that about Tory? No, he knows he hasn't; because in the space where such thoughts would be is an emptiness where that end exists. A relationship that just ended, and he isn't sure yet how--or if--the pieces will ever fit back together.
He's always been more selfish--more selfish than someone like Chizuru, who's selfless to a fault.
Robby rubs his hand against her arm as a reassurance, tipping his head to slightly rest above hers. Looking off, and saying softly, ] You were good, Chizuru. You tried your best--none of this changes that.
[ And that means something, even if it doesn't seem like it. ]
