Hiroki feels like his heart could leap out of his chest with joy at that. Yes. Yes, yes, never, Ziggy doesn't wish to ever leave him, now, and nothing and no one can't tear him and Ziggy apart.
(Except the witch, perhaps. He still fears that, he can't help fearing that, because through him, Honerva had seen Nexus, and what if she visits? Hopefully, she never will.)
"Yeah. Let's go slow-"
Ah.
This is all so... beautiful. Of course he knows about these spectrums, but to see the scenery, just like that - it's like being transported into some kind of a fairytale.
He loves it.
And then - he kisses Ziggy back, passionately now. Running his hands through Ziggy's hair. Especially his right hand, as if trying to make up for the lost time. Mhm...
Yeah, when we're back in Nexus... yeah. Yes, I'd like to see that. Speaking of my body, I'll try not to disappear like that again. I'm sorry if I gave you a scare. I think I must need to learn to... to better maintain myself? Er, it's a process, okay? But you've made me so much stronger, I'm sure I'll have no problem now. And... I said I have a body because you're here and I want it to be with you more, but that's not all. I - I want to live. I still don't know if it's right for me to live or not, but I want to live, and in Nexus, it's like I can. I think I've always wanted to live. Funny, huh, seeing as at the beginning there wasn't anyone who'd want me to, I mean, for me in particular, because any of those nearby would do just as well if awake...nevermind.
Maybe, he adds, half-serious, if I see myself the way you see me, Ziggy, I'll finally learn why'd you fancy me in particular.
And... he adds, despite himself, and solemn now, that unlike in my dreams, maybe I don't look exactly the same as hundred others in pods. Somehow--- maybe that's why I've always felt a bit uneasy looking into a mirror, even when I didn't remember. Sorry. Sorry, I didn't mean to talk about it, at all. I guess - I try to pretend I'm not a mess, but I still am.
He looks around again. This - everything really looks amazing, and fascinating. Like he's seeing the world for the first time in some ways. Everything's a novelty. It's incredible.
He gently caresses Ziggy's hair while looking around.
"Alright. Let's go see more of this place like that."
This will be one incredible walk, he's sure.
And maybe you could tell me about the time you were there, if that's alright? See, I've realised, I'm still getting to know you. I want to know.
