[Gojyo's smile doesn't make him feel better either. Not when he coughs like that and struggles so hard just to stand. Goku's face reddens in shame and frustration as he watches him, fingers curling into the fabric of his shirt. He messed his friend up that much and there's nothing he can do about it. He can't even so much as carry him back to someplace safe on his own.
Have we always been so fragile?
Goku's so focused on that, distraught by his own weakness that he doesn't notice whether or not Hakkai healed the wound he's pressed his hand over. But when Hakkai speaks, even though the words are halting and a little disorganized, somehow he gets the gist of it. He can hold Hakkai up. Hakkai doesn't look like the poison's hurting him, so he can hold Gojyo up. They can all help each other get home.
Having been given instructions now Goku hurries in to help. He reaches for Hakkai, carefully supporting him and diligently keeping his gaze fixed on where he's putting his hands. He can't meet his friends in the eyes, too ashamed and guilt-ridden for that. He'll just stay focused on doing his best to help them.]
