[ Mizuki's tendrils tightly squeeze Ebalon where his arms can't, as the strength seems to have been knocked out of them entirely. In fact, all they can do is loosely hang around Ebalon as his fists just hold onto his robes until his knuckles turn white. Ebalon can't promise that. Mizuki knows that much. If he does leave, it's not his choice. But it's still so nice to hear. ]

We… [ Sniff. ] We'll be okay. Skulduggery said there's a way the Captain can free us and we can… we can figure things out from there. We'll traverse the void like Miss Jenny i-if we have to, okay?

…

I'll make sure we're okay.

[ Because it's not just Ebalon who promised eternity to him. Mizuki had to Ebalon, too. And he hasn't done anything to help with their situation, though, and it's about time he had. Even if that just meant trying to keep in the loop as much as he could about the goings on about the ship. Or even if it meant sucking up his emotions to talk to the Captain himself.

Whatever the case, all that matters it that Ebalon is here. With him And he's going to do everything he can to keep it that way. ]
