“I see now that the path I choose through the maze makes me what I am. I am not only a thing, but also a way of being—one of many ways—and knowing the paths I have followed and the ones left to take will help me understand what I am becoming.”

( He nods. )

... You asked if it was okay if you considered me family. And if we could take photos together, when we leave here.

( A beat, but— )

... It is okay. And... I do want to. If that's fine with you.

[ Sinclair ducks his head, squeezes Mithrun's hand a little tighter. Everything feels like a lot right now.]

...it is. It makes me really happy.

( That's... a good face, he thinks. Better than the look of heartbreak Macha had been so obsessed with. )

... Me, too.

( Which is strange, for him. But... a good strange. A warm strange. )

... Thanks. For not giving up on me. ( Even though... Sinclair probably would've been better off giving up on him, even before the Macha thing. ) I'll make sure... you and the people you like get out. We could get... a big group picture, after this.

( The rest of Sinclair's CR (like, half the game) may not be Mithrun's blorbos, but they are his blorbo-in-laws by virtue of them being Sinclair's. He doesn't care for them personally, but they gotta live so Sinclair is happy. Them's the breaks. )

[ Sinclair doesn't know how to give up on people; but Mithrun always had a place in his heart no matter what. He smiles, practically glowing at the thought]

... yeah. I'd like that. It's something nice to aim for. Thanks...for coming back. I was so glad...

[ He had believed Mithrun had still been in there, buried under everything. But he had been scared too]
