[The hand on his arm is just... gone, and the atmosphere feels different. The ambient noise of the hospital giving way to an almost ominous silence to him. He can't seem to move from his position, and his breath is so loud in the quiet until he hears Rei's voice. She's blaming herself for something, not succeeding at something despite trying her best. It's a feeling Toki knows well... but the next words stop him before he even tries to call out to her. When she's still alive... then who's dead?

This time, the emotions in her voice only make Toki angry, wanting something or someone to blame for hurting her like this. The last words hit him hard; what was the point. Was. He still can't move, though he wants desperately to run to her.]

Rei!

[The possibility that she died is something he can't bear to think about right now, so he focuses on the rest of it. Maybe none of it will help, and this is all so confusing. He tries to be heard over her sobbing.]

You... You exist because you were meant to! I know sometimes that it's hard to think that you have a place in the world when it's never given you anything but pain! I used to think there was nothing too! No reason for anything! But it's not true! It's not fair, for one person to go through so much, but it- it makes every good moment worth more! And you don't know it now, but you'll have things that make you happy! People who love you! Your life isn't pointless! You weren't a mistake!

[He's not sure what he's going for by the end, because the thought he tried to push away keeps coming back. Rei, Niko, died. She's dead.]
