[Once Nobunaga starts, there’s something tight inside him that snaps. They’ve been feeling like they’re holding everything together in a whole mess of a storm and it’s like Nobunaga has finally heard him. And he knows there’s things he needs to work through, too. Things he has to do better with. But it feels better. And this is what he’s been trying to tell people.
This is the Nobunaga he’s been trying to get everyone to see and he’s happy to see it now.
The not being sexual together until things are resolved makes sense, but definitely a shift. One Klaus will honor because it’s what’s been asked of them.]
You two and the fair contracts. I love you so much. More than everything. So I’m with you. I’ll be with you.
[And here’s a big, terrifying thing to add to it all] I’ll talk about Dave. I will. I didn’t mean to make him Umbrella forever. But…I have to add something else. I’m…[There’s a slight pause.] I told Valdis earlier that I need to stop drinking. I’m leaning on it too heavily. I’ve been sleeping everywhere and feeling like shit since this whole thing and it’s…it’s not working anymore. All of it. It’s hurting me worse than it’s helping me. I’m going to reach out to Dr. Watson. So he can keep an eye on things.
[They reach out for him, fingers twining together.] I’ve done it before and never really meant it. But I want to mean it. So if I lean on you a little soon, that’s why. I’m…scared. Of that. But if we’re a team, then it will be easier because I can lean on you when I feel like shit and you can lean on me.
[They look at him for a moment.] I agree to all your terms and I feel more seen and heard. Thank you. I want to make sure you feel the same for the rest of my life. We’ll start planning our Konpeito wedding once we work through everything else, okay? I want that. I want us. [There’s a slight sag of relief at those words and Klaus nuzzles up against Nobunaga.] But probably we should actually shower and sleep first. I love you.
