[Rin: don't get upset, be calm, talk rationally- HC: /clown noises Rin:]
Of course I would forgive you, idiot! I love you!
[It's such a strong word to use, but Rin isn't one for mincing words anyway. There is no term to adequately describe his attachment to Hua Cheng- neither 'father' nor 'older brother' are quite right, 'mentor' seems a bit off too, and 'friend' isn't strong enough here- but the attachment is there regardless. Hua Cheng is, and always will be, someone important to Rin. Forgiveness, even for something like this, is a 'when' not an 'if'.
Maybe that's why Rin's feelings are a mess right now, honestly. Hua Cheng acted in a way Rin has been trying to discourage people from acting for weeks now, but he cares so much about him that he can't just be mad and be done with it. He's more sad than he is mad anyway. Death is a part of these games, and that death stands a good chance of being temporary anyway. But to have his trust broken in such a way, by someone he cares so deeply about, that hurts.
His hands ball up into fists at his sides, and he's sure that if he still had his fire the flames would be licking angrily around him right now. His anger doesn't last long, but it burns hot.]
And I get it, you know? 'He' has been saying the same things you are! I'm mad about Kaeya too! And I'm mad about everyone looking down on Diluc when he had no choice! But now you're the one in danger! You really think nobody's gonna try to get back at you?!
[He's afraid for Hua Cheng, just as much as he's mad for Hua Cheng. Sometimes love, even familial love like this, hurts.]
