[Rin really didn't know what to expect. He and Yukio haven't spoken in days, and that trial was...something. But as soon as he sees that look on Yukio's face, his bottom lip is tightening.]
Hey. You finally ready to talk, or am I gonna die not knowing what's been eating at you all this time?
[Rin is trying to be tough, and he doesn't move towards Miki. Rinkou, on the other hand, is making sad whining noises as she pushes up to the bars too. Her snout can fit out to press against Miki.]
Do you know what your punishment would have been if you'd told me about what happened on Thursday? [He asks, ignoring that question, ignoring what Rin wants to talk about.
He wants to grab Rin by the collar, shove him against the wall, yell why didn't you tell me!?.]
Why is that what makes him so mad? Why is that what gets him slamming his hand against the bars? He's not sure.]
You didn't need to confess, nii-san! If you'd given me any information at all, if you'd shown me that your hair changed, I could have covered for you! I could have helped you!
[Rin flinches when he hears that. Of course Yukio would have helped him. Of course he could have relied on Yukio. It all seems so blatantly obvious, but...]
I...I couldn't tell anyone at all. Not even you.
And I was scared, Yukio. What would they have done to you if you'd known about it?

Miki nudges her head against Rinkou's snout. She's here. It's okay.]

You want to, don't you?

Yukio, please. I don't want to die with things like this!

Biting back tears, Rin moves to sit on the bed in his cell and draw his knees up to his chest.]
