[ Inigo slowly gets up from where he flopped down on the couch. He's still a touch dizzy, but he's feeling well enough to walk a few steps in a straight line anyway. Just far enough that he can stand next to the other and put a gentle hand on Akutagawa's arm.

It's a risky move, given how sometimes the other can lash out, but-- what's the alternative? Just sit there and watch while the other is hurting?

Inigo couldn't do that. ]

You have to keep swimming. You know he'd want you to.

[ Inigo may not have known everything about Atsushi, but he knows this. The other would have cared enough about Akutagawa to want that. ]

But you don't have to swim on your own either. Sometimes you need people to help drag you back up to the water's surface, you know..?
