[ Reaching up to ruffle his spikes into their more typical style, when he sees himself in the selfie screen, Kuro keeps his hand there for a second. Like his mind has been blown, and he needs a second to deal with it. And, in a way, he really does. It's Nazuna! Nazuna, who he sent birthday and holiday texts to, taking a little bittersweet amusement in telling him to have a happy Easter, like the holiday was all his because of a fictional rabbit.
He looks good. He looks happy. His eyes might be bright goddamn pink - wild, more wild than his red hair - but there's a light there that wasn't before, not unless he instigated it. And here it is, all on its own.
He's so happy for him, even if that bittersweet feeling is there again in a way, tinged by guilt. All of this happened, and he missed it. He missed all of it because he didn't do more to try and stay in his life, to try and help him, and then he fell further into something that would make Nazuna balk in a good damn second if he knew. ]
Yeah, maybe not. [ It makes him laugh again, and he drops his hand, finally. With his hair fixed, his hat off - there's more than just one ear piercing, now.
And there's something more important.
Kuro says the first thing that really popped into his head, from the moment Nazuna spoke: ] It's good to hear you, Nichan - well, Nito, now, I guess.
