[He just goes back to flipping through clothes, pulling down a loose, dark plain coat and sliding his more colorful one off, slinging it over one of the racks while he tries it on.]
Has to, doesn't it? Not much I can do about it for the moment. I-- Well, I tried pretending it wasn't real already. Didn't work too well for me.
... Maybe you can't do anything about it now, but you're alive right now too, aren't you? So it's not like it's hopeless.
[ he seems very sincere about this, because apparently he is invested in molly living? wow who would have thought boy accused of caring too much cares too much ]
... Well, good. [ now he is a little embarrassed, if molly does not actually need like. cheering on? so he looks away to try and change the subject ] ... The new coat looks good.
[ anyway! there will be no fashion talk in this bar, and a death for a death plays instead, though this one is not yamato's own so it's not quite the same. and also wow those are some funky creatures and zero explanation to them! it's cool molly isn't racist ]
[Excuse me? Did Taichi just get smooshed? What the fuck was that. What were any of those creatures. Molly just pauses in putting his regular coat on over the new one, blinking in - well, actual shock for a moment. And then looking down.]
He-- [ it comes out a little choked out, because wow! doesn't get any easier to relive! and also I forgot because I was doing 7 memory threads, but molly experiencing that memory would've felt something like a second heartbeat with his own that stops abruptly the second taichi falls down that cliff, like it's wrenched away. canon is gay, and yamato shakes his head; ] He was fine. He... survived it, somehow, but we didn't know for a while. That's all.
[ so it's fine! clearly. it's not the same because he didn't Really die, yamato just thought he did!! yay ]
Molly just seems sort of upset by the thing in general though, including the part where they found out he was alive again. Reaching over to just put a hand on his shoulder, gently.]
[Molly just makes a Concerned Face, patting him on the shoulder before he pulls away.]
You're doing the opposite of making a big deal of it, you know. Can still feel badly about things that turned out alright. Doesn't make the thing that happened less horrible, sometimes.

Don't... tell Taichi you know? We haven't really talked about it.
