Thanatos has to be the stronger, responsible one. He's the one who has to get the job done no matter what, no matter how he feels. Before it was an easy task, but with everything going on, now it feels all the more pressing. All the more important?
He pets Mort who nuzzling into him again, offering soft and gentle squeaks. "It's not just you. Many are feeling it. And my light sensitivity is acting up." He sits down, and Mort scrambles down his arm and nuzzles Ryo's elbow. "Take today off from school, okay? I'll get your work for you."
He doesn't like it. He doesn't like the idea of being alone with his thoughts, when none of them are aligning correctly and rub against his brain like sandpaper. He doesn't like the idea of Thanatos going out alone, when everything seems so wrong. He doesn't like feeling as though he should be doing something more - as though there's something to fix that he should be working on, but he doesn't know where or how or why. He doesn't like the mystery hanging around his and Thanatos's necks.
But there's nothing he can do about any of it. Honestly, he dislikes that more than anything else.
He sighs and shifts, freeing up a hand to gently pet Mort. "Okay," he says, and it's not okay, but what else can he do? "Don't forget your sunglasses."
He's not going out alone. He has Mort, who is now running back up to Thanatos with all intents on keeping him company. "Thanks." Thanatos grabs his sunglasses. "For some reason, they keep disappearing on me." He's not that absentminded, but Thanatos can't explain why they aren't available when he needs them.
He's about to leave the door to travel to the university when he stops and looks back at Ryo. Thanatos can try to do something to cheer him... can't he? "If you want, you can use some of my colored pens to doodle on the edges of your list. Just let me know if the purple runs out, okay?"
