It's both of them I had to

PCS w/Higzamarukiri

... perhaps so. Objectively, I know this to be the truth. And yet, knowing that he may have suffered along the way, without a friend...

[ . . . that's less easy for him to accept]

Some of them are opening up each week - but I don't have time to wait for them to open the easy way if I'm meant to be looking for him.

Are you going to take that on your shoulders and cripple yourself in the process?

[ it's said with a questioning air. ]

You won't find him at all if you force a door and get stuck yourself. Or are you planning on making everyone else here search for you as well?

[there's a tilt of his head at that before higekiri shakes his head]

No - I will not break.

[it's impressive the certainty that he has when he says it]

I will not be of use to anyone, should I break.

Human bodies break easily.

[ the certainty is all well and good, to a point. ]

Keep an eye on that, if you plan on pushing yourself to your limit.

[ . . . he supposes they do. given his own injuries now, they ache just a little bit at the reminder]

... you're not a doctor, are you?

No, I work in forensics.

I don't know what that means.

[he's rather open about that]

But I wonder if it has anything to do with why you seem concerned with me.

Not at all. It's the application of science to criminal investigation.

[ haha. ]

Concern is a strong word. Just try not to stumble into something that causes you and all of us more troubles.

[there's a beat, and then a tilt of his head]

... you are one of those humans who would prefer not to make attachments, correct? Or who does not know how to express kindness, or reach out to others, and so you do so in your own brusque way.

Are you trying some psychology now as well? That's a part of forensics as well, to a point. Maybe you should think about a career change.

I don't know what psychology is either.

[to be honest, but regardless higekiri's expression settles into something a little fond and a little ancient]

I think I just know humans rather well.

It's not a mentality that I find that far from my own either...

Scientific study of the human mind.

[ he just tilts his head at him, eyes thoughtful. ]

Humans are both unique, but also paint themselves with the same brush too often. Like sheep, herding themselves around.

Is there a reason why you speak like you're not among them?

No.

[ hmm hmm ]

Speaking from a detached, scientific standpoint.
