Hm... I can't claim to know exactly what you mean, but I know loneliness.
[ He feels it, profoundly. Sitting here alone in the middle of the earth, sleeping in airports more often than hotel rooms at one point in his life, sometimes even while surrounded by people with wide smiles and bright laughter and still feeling it. ]
But not now, with a voice in my hands, speaking just for me. [ There's cheer in his voice, a smile on his face Yukine can't see. ] I'm going in undeclared- I want to try everything, and maybe never leave so long as I can afford it.
( honestly. it's okay that he doesn't understand him to the letter, especially when yukine is pretty sure that really isn't possible in the first place. no, but he gets loneliness and that's enough. but he ccclaughs as ryoji keeps talking. )
You really don't hold back with your words.
( he doesn't mean anything by it, but he's suitably embarrassed by how easily ryoji said that. )
( there's a massive crack and a resounding thump as the dandelion's stalk finally cracks and slams against the ground. it even fell in a good position! )
Ryoji, keep an eye out!! Something's coming down so watch out!
( so he says but it takes him a good minute before the stalk is finally slamming its way down the crack to create a makeshift ladder. )
There's no reason to hold back words, if you have something you want to say, so...
[ He shrugs in the silence and darkness, squinting up again at the entrance for whatever it is that he's supposed to keep an eye out for— pitch black, when the dandelion head blocks out the sun and his heart stops in his throat, but then it starts falling and Ryoji has to will his feet to move and get himself out of the way before he's crushed by the flower. ]
I guess. Still, it's pretty admirable to just say it like that.
( he would probably say more about it, but ryoji is already yelling in delight and hanging up the phone, so yukine figures that whatever he has to say can definitely wait until ryoji is back in the sunlight. he's right there waiting for him when he comes up, hand outstretched to him. )

( man, what is he even saying to a stranger? this is kind of embarrassing, but he guesses that it's more embarrassing to be trapped in a dark hole.
saw, saw, saw. not much longer now! )
College? What are you going to major in?
