[ We can pretend Ayabe was there doing things during the trial I barely even know what happened in, where even to the end he is still so so skeptical about the whole dead not staying dead and breaking the laws of the universe thing, until a ball of light flies towards his chest and the warmth spreads through him from head to toe.
And then there's Chuuya turning to him and Ayabe catches him in his arms with a different sort of warmth that mostly just makes his ears feel hot, one arm around Chuuya's back and the other hand at the back of his head to pull him close. ]
...Congrats. It worked.
[ It still doesn't feel real, to be honest. Standing here, full of relief and exhaustion. Smiling. ]

He eventually pulls away from the hug, but he keeps one of his hands on Ayabe, reluctant to break the contact yet.]
I still can't believe it's finally over, you know? It feels like it's been forever.
