When he'd seen Hakkai alive and... and alive, he'd thought that things would be fine. But this? This was far, far worse than he'd imagined. This wasn't Hakkai's familiar smile-while-bleeding pose. No, this was coldly logical.
And Gojyo was so fucking tired of cold.
"But you know it's not real." He didn't even bother with smiles and joking tones - this was far too serious a subject to fuck around with, and he didn't want to risk being misunderstood. "Whether this place makes me a ghost or a fucking kappa or makes me my mom's caretaker for the better part of a decade, you know that none of it's real. You know this."
Maybe that's what this place really was. Maybe it didn't care about the sex so much as hope. Maybe it ate that hope right out of you until there wasn't anything left. If that was the case, then Hakkai was in ever more real danger than any of them knew.
