[he steps back in, then, presence filling up the space between them, looming almost overpoweringly over Coil. it's mean, the way he digs in and doesn't let him go, but he wants him to listen. he wants him to know.
wants him to know that he's being a fucking coward.
treating it like it's final, treating it like there's nothing else here--that's bullshit. Coil is still here, breathing shaking living, and he's treating that like it's the end of the gods-damned world.
if that purpose was really all that mattered, he'd stop running away and chase after it, knowing what he knows now. Coil knows nothing of agony--a thought spit out with such contempt for the world around him that he tightens his fingers in Coil's hair--he's got no reason to sit there, wallowing in self-pity. so you failed, so. fucking. what.
it doesn't matter. they won't even know. so stop being a bitch about it and do something, anything to prove those ghosts wrong.
because Robin wants this. he believes so strongly that there's worth in Coil, even if he can't see it himself. he... cares what happens to him, even if that truth only leaks out around the edges of his bitter, harsh thoughts. he could be great, but he's wasting it on a 'nothing' that doesn't exist.]
