[ this one is a happier memory for him—a life-affirming one. but it's still a lot to process, especially for someone dropped into his memories without any real context, left to feel his pain and relief both.
he doesn't cry much these days though. so as sebastian swipes away his own tears, dimitri smiles, a little slanted. ]
I am just a person. [ he's not good. he's just human. ] But it is kind of you to say so.
[ he'll put a hand on sebastian's shoulder though. his touch is cautious even if it tries to be assuring. ]
I'm sorry if my memories... affected you. Are you all right?
[ he's finally gotten used to reassuring touches, so he doesn't flinch this time, and gives a bit of a smile back. ]
Yeah. I'm fine. It's just... been kind of a hard day, you know?
[ it feels a little stupid saying that now that he knows something about the days that led up to that memory he just saw, but he doesn't want to downplay kazunari's importance to him either.
...as if on cue, there's another cloud of stardust and a memory of another hard day plays.

[ wow. while dimitri is basically a copy-paste of his own father, there's no resemblance whatsoever between that man and sebastian, besides perhaps a predilection for tears.

Your mother... did she return?

he shakes his head. ]
No.
...I think the police probably stopped looking a while back. It's been a pretty long time.
no subject
Have you stopped looking, though?
