[He gives Sara a harried expression over Kanna's head in return of like - well, what do you expect him to do? He knows it's not real, he knows it's all an illusion but... what do you expect him to do? Watch her as he abandons her? Get a real good look at what that would look like? He doesn't trust this as far as he can throw it, he's waiting for the other shoe to drop and turn this into as much of a nightmare as the wolf but... until then... he can't do it. He just can't. Something in him's broken and he can't do that, jamming whenever he tries to pull the lever.
He doesn't try to shake Kanna off or detach her as she explains... she's Allowed. :' )]
I wouldn't think about it too hard, if I were you.
[Easy, almost too easy, to slip into the same groove, the same footsteps. Don't even bother Kanna, silly child. You wouldn't get it, so don't even try. Just leave it to him and do what he says... and don't betray him. Some soft part of him mewls a pained warning, and it widens into a sharp split, like turning something double-sided inside out, when she asks if she died, because he knows that well, hand hovering and falling as she sobs, leaning over, head turned to her.]
Y-you're still breathing, aren't you? Just focus on that...
[What she's said though... the collars all going off at once? That's... not impossible, but why? Why end the game there? He can belatedly and begrudgingly admit it... Sara has a point. It's bizarre. Kanna's though... he must have used his key on her. He can't help but glance at himself on the floor, like levering up a scab. Blood under his fingernails... he'd regretted it, he'd clawed at his collar and spat at the world in his last moments, still trying any way out to survive but... before that, he'd done it, knowing it. In at least one universe, even if it was a school's sick play, he'd done it. He'd asked Sidney what made them different... and this is... in it's own way, an answer.]
Ahaha... I guess this means... you've won, Kanna. You've won! Ahahahaha....
[The laugh and the smile... they're warped by his own incongruous relief.]
