...Ahhh, γενσ δε πεθ δε φοι...! I—I will do no such dying out here, for— for these wilds are my own, and— and they hold no dange—
(Trips over a fuckin treeroot while trying to get up, faceplanting into a bush.)
HHHHHHHHH...
...cool...
(Curls up even more.)
that should be helpful for you... my ship— heh... sailed, long since sailed... crashed... marooned...
make it through this year if it kills you yet | 2001-2019...they aren't... why, I've accrued my fourth bout of indentured servitude, so they... really can't be, huh...
(Isn't really saying this bitterly so much as just with a tired and uneasy inflection tinging the monotone.)
…! W-wait, you— I—I should accompany you, if— if your intent is to trek back through the woods, for— for your safety...
(Groans horribly and starts trying to wriggle his hulking, ponderous frame out of the bush.)
make it through this year if it kills you yet | 2001-2019...heh... I do, though... to Sakura Emiya first, I think... to Savannah... to Buggy the Clown... and now to this leviathan salamander, to read his books... heh... I'm a real commodity... wouldn't you say...
(Weakly tugging against the chain, trying to roll himself towards the shore.)
Ghh— nhh... hhhhhh...
(Finally manages to extricate himself, pausing as he rises to wheeze a whole bunch.)
Hhhhhh... HHHHHH... y-you may proceed, I—... hhh—... I will catch up...
make it through this year if it kills you yet | 2001-2019......
(His sad lil' smile fades.)
...could... could you just kill me or something.
...Hh—... Y-your concern, while... hh... unnecessary, is— is very much appreciated...
(Finally catches his breath, starting to waddle forward like some gigantic penguin.)
make it through this year if it kills you yet | 2001-2019...why... that tail looks like it could go clean through my head, heh... you could probably just do it very quickly... I won't make a sound...
(creeping look of quiet misery)
...I-interest is also acceptable, yes...! U-uhhhm... What— what piques your interest...?
(sloooow shuffle... tiny steps for such tall man...)
make it through this year if it kills you yet | 2001-2019...
-swallows, as if summoning up courage-
...T— to tell you the truth, I...
-then it's as if he's reached his limit, and he starts talking in a breathless, indignant exhalation-
...I— I don't want to. I don't know... I— I don't know who you are. I don't care about ... a-about whatever is making you want this. Okay? I— I really don't! It doesn't affect me either way besides m-making me uncomfortable! I've been trying— I— I've been really trying, you know, not to hurt people or anything, but it's hard in a war, and— a-and it's hard because of what I am! I— I don't like doing it!
B-bb-but I guess what I want doesn't matter, does it? I-it's— it's never mattered! I f— I f— I fuck over an entire universe for someone else, I— I get— I go off to a horrible, grueling war that's got nothing to do with me — w-what do I get? I'm a monster, m-my boyfriend cheated on me, that happened — practically e-everyone that I cared about is gone... and it's always 'what can you do for me, Rennor? Gee, I don't know you, I don't know — I don't know what you've been dealing with or what you want to do to yourself, but I think you should really just kill me, I've been suffering so bad, oh—!'
-his hands are shaking-
UN JOUR JE SERAI DE RETOUR PRÈS DE TOI-Hal frowns-
You really ought to be more considerate to the guy who's helping you find your way, you know?
What if there’s no better word than just not saying anything?…
…
…
(...Frowns. Like an actual sad frown, taking in a shuddering, deep sigh.)
...I'm sorry. Please, forget this...
...u-uh. What did—
(Immediately starts trying to choke himself with the short length of chain.)
…! H-human no...!
...I—I have been meditating...! Reflecting, r-ruminating upon the—... uhhhm... th-the deepest truths of— of the universe, yes...
(Covered in bug bites.)
(OHP, the room is visible...!)

Look, you're on the fast track to making zero friends here, so far.
-He crosses his arms, giving a nod to Panos-
