Alright. Ebalon shakes off his own feelings about the situation (the portal should've worked, why didn't it work, he wasn't even trying to leave, it was a test run, what did he miscalculate—) and curls tighter around Mizuki. This time, though, instead of keeping his chin on top of Mizuki's head, he yet again bonks their foreheads together.]
I apologise for leaving you. [There's no "I had no idea it would be a long death" or "I didn't think that would happen" or anything like that this time. Ebalon draws his fingers across Mizuki's back in comforting little circles, though as usual, he tends to stay where the pact mark is.] I know I broke my promise to you from many moons ago where I said I would not do anything reckless anymore, and I apologise for that as well. Would you find it in your heart to forgive me? If not now, then one day.
