He spent a good chunk of the trial in tears, everything breaking and overflowing once Ellie died. By the time Makoto died (he didn't stop her, he wasn't there to stop her-) there was nothing left to break.
An accidental survey of the resort made it clear what their circumstances were likely to be in the near future. So, he'd picked up what pieces he could and given his goodbyes.
This is the final day they have with any kind of contact. And for now, Yoshi is spending it sprawled on one of the couches in the lobby, staring up blankly at the ceiling.]
[she looks towards him, her hands balled into fists at her knees. Whatever emotions she has-- the seem to be blanketed under the softest of sadness.]
I'm sorry. I didn't volunteer for as long as I could, but I panicked when Akira stepped forward. It felt like the only solution to stop them from voting for him was to step forward myself...
[she says, but she's out of anger. she's just got numbness left. only numbness, which is why she doesn't even bother on commenting about how keeping her alive was an attempt to keep him alive? surely, he'll survive.]
I guess if all the roles are really tied to her...
[But there's still the mystery of 34 - a lot of mysteries, actually.
He doesn't want to think too hard.]
...I just thought... you two would've been able to support each other. Because if either one of you died, the other one would definitely have a hard time continuing on. But you're stronger together, because you trust each other so much.
[He releases a long breath, pulling up his legs. Wrapping his arms around them.
It doesn't really matter now. It didn't go according to plan. Nothing ever really did.]

Where is she, though?]

But she's sitting by the fireplace, playing a game on her ipad. Girl's gotta relax sometimes, right?!]

Ma-ko-toooooo!
[HAVE A GARBAGE BUN SCURRYING UP TO YOU.]
Can we talk for a minute?
Week 5, Sunday

[she asks softly when she sees him.
she has a lot of apologies to give, for why she did what she did. but. it was out of desperation. she didn't want Akira to die.]
no subject
Oh. Hey, Makoto.
[There's a smile on his face, but it's terribly wan. Practically painted on, not reaching his eyes at all.]
no subject
We should talk.
no subject
...Yeah. Probably.
no subject
I'm sorry. I didn't volunteer for as long as I could, but I panicked when Akira stepped forward. It felt like the only solution to stop them from voting for him was to step forward myself...
no subject
[The resort shutting down makes him wonder. A lot of things do. The future is so, so uncertain now.]
No matter how it goes, he ends up dying. I thought... if you two were together, you'd be able to keep each other alive for the best ending, but...
[He wasn't strong enough to make it work.]
no subject
[she says, but she's out of anger. she's just got numbness left. only numbness, which is why she doesn't even bother on commenting about how keeping her alive was an attempt to keep him alive? surely, he'll survive.]
... So don't think that he'll die.
no subject
[So. Good luck? He's feeling pretty hopeless on that front. But then again, he's feeling pretty hopeless in general.]
...If you were the one who got left behind, and you had a chance to revive someone...
You wouldn't use it?
no subject
[she glances at him.]
But I can insist he doesn't use it on me, and I'm not sure how he would do it without the Lady.

[she smiles.]
Which he was already going to do, no matter what.
no subject
But right now, he just sees everyone falling apart, no one else well enough to help them pick up the pieces again.]
