[ Blade remembers this feeling...the sensation that people could even care about him driving him to a point where he remembers feeling pulled apart - in so many directions. Ironically, of that short number of people, one of those was "Yoru" himself.

The fact that he voted for him because he wouldn't hate Yoru is true. It's...a relief, to know that he voted for him instead of his own self. It makes him happy, that Yoru wishes to look forward enough to live. ]

...That's how it is. You're right I wouldn't.

[ A part of him knows he deserves the vote, even. He quietly puts down the sandwich for a moment. ]

But, there's no need for an apology. I'm glad I didn't vote for you - I won't regret it. I wouldn't change it. [ ... ] It's overwhelming, when others care.

And...it can be worth it. Even if it feels undeserving. Even if it's confusing.
