[Too early indeed. Akutagawa’s posture stiffened again, shaking his head lightly denying this. He must not think of that. What was it he regained after being here? A moment, something came to mind as he looked down his cup.]
My life.
[He recalled the last flicker of life he had before departing his home world. Alas, much more will happen later on and, it’s pretty grim, as his expression.]
[ Maruki keeps watching him carefully, though he feigns a more casual nature as he reaches forward for one of the snacks himself and adjusts to sit more comfortably on the sofa. ]
We've all led long, varied lives before arriving here. It's normal to be a bit worn down by that.
[ His own package of Phantom Wafers opened, a thumb running over the logo that he stares at for a moment before looking back up and smiling gently. ]
You can talk about it, if it would help. Nothing you say will leave this room.
[Perhaps he will try some of those Phantom Wafers. Dream or not, there must be a taste. He’s contemplating, his guard refuse to wane. So, he dips his wafer into his tea and eats it like a cookie with milk. It’s fine.]
No, for words can only go far as express. I am as a ghost waiting to see how this will end.
[A small sigh.]
My apologies, I’ve taken much of your time, doctor.
[ But it's not as if Maruki doesn't understand. Some things are too difficult to speak.
His gentle smile doesn't flag. ]
There's no such thing. My time is freely given to anyone who needs it. But if you're ready to leave, I won't stop you. I hope we can meet again in reality, if you do.
[He doesn’t say more, setting his tea cup down while munching on the last bit of wafer. As this dream comes to an end, he begins to vanish from his feet and up with a small bow. This doctor earned some respect.
Much as he is curious, someone taught him about sensitive information.]
