Summary
It's like someone went and stole his heart right out of his chest, still bloody and beating, and Ryuji’s left trying to fill in the gap. There's something he needs to do, something they all need to do, and he knows it, but it's like he's been left a map with no instructions. They've lived the last few months a dozen times and nothing changes.
The seven of them still remember. Goro still dies.
No one’s saying anything, Ryuji notes, his words still ringing out for all to hear.
And really, he didn’t mean to say them, but they’re out in the open now.
And they keep coming.
“I’m just tired,” Ryuji says, and once he says it, he can’t stop. “We’ve been at this for who knows how freakin’ long, and the worst part is that nothing’s changin’. The only thing that’s goin’ on is us getting more and more desperate, and for what? Goro doesn’t remember any of it, and I’m so damned tired of watchin’ him die.”
