"Takumi."
He hadn't known his brother would be here. He only knew thanks to Camilla's pointed jab. Ryoma ought to leave Takumi alone, but his legs carried him over to his brother. He feels stiff, awkward, as he stands in front of Takumi.
Eventually, Ryoma puts a hand on Takumi's shoulder, and squeezes gently. "Please stay safe out there." Ryoma doesn't know if he can stand to lose him again.
"Hm?"
Takumi turned towards the sound of his brother's voice. He'd seen Ryoma's name on the list of passengers, but hadn't been able to spot him on the boat until now. "Hello, Ryoma. Did you need something...?"
He blinked as Ryoma set his hand on his shoulder, surprised at the sudden moment of vulnerability. "I..."
...Why was everyone worrying over him all of a sudden?
Takumi sighed. "Of course. I'll be fine, Brother," he said. "I know how to handle myself. You stay safe, too."
