[ There's a mirthless laugh from Ainosuke at that information. On the altar - of course. Spiting the God that has decided their wishes are beyond redemption, while following His order all the same.

[ Ainosuke scoffs. It's a perfect repeat of their first day here. Regardless of what happened in-between, they're just right back where they started: with unwanted sympathy. ]

A beautiful eulogy. Maybe those clothes suit you after all.

[ And with that, he's off to the shower, unwilling to be talked to like a child any longer. ]
