( of course. all that makoto has learned of abel's heart makes him nothing if not predictable.
he acknowledges the man's nature just as much as he hopes that he might acknowledge his own — though that's a pointless endeavor. an emblem of hope until the very end, regardless of what misfortune that determination might usher in. despite himself, and at the very core of makoto's inbound desire to turn abel away from such fruitlessness... perhaps he just wishes to spare the man that pain.
but he knows he can't, not any more than abel can try to change what is indelible within his own heart. a faint hopelessness invades his expression, and then he looks away. )
