( in theory, it's good news. the guilt he invented disappears, leaving behind a whole host of different questions in its wake. why isn't he that sort of person? is it something chishiya believes himself incapable of? vain and vulgar, that's how he described himself with the last breaths in his chest. it isn't what arisu sees him as at all.
but it feels a little prying. needless, in a way. they're both wildly different people than they were even when they met at the beach — who they were before then seems kind of irrelevant. he'll never meet chishiya the pediatric cardiovascular surgeon. he'll always be chishiya, in gray hoodies, outsmarting and outliving everyone in the room — until he doesn't. )
Ah. Me either, really. ( with their coffee mugs filled, arisu takes a deep drink. it isn't great coffee, but he hasn't had anything that wasn't instant in a long time. sighing, he lets out an amused, and slightly sad, laugh. ) But if my dad found out I married a doctor, he'd probably weep.
( or find something wrong with chishiya, more likely. a reason why he is as inept as arisu at simply existing. )
