Cough 059 - [Accidental Video]
[The sun is setting in the distance amidst the drizzle of rain as Ukitake's normal song continues playing for him. All week, Rick Astley has been serenading him and anyone else who's been close enough to hear, and yet the Shinigami hasn't seemed to get too tired of it yet. Yes, it's possible he's insane. But when he approaches the pond out front with the intention of feeding the fish, the song ends.
Ukitake pauses and looks around, his hand held out mid-act. Where's...the music?
And then, softly, a new song starts up. Ukitake doesn't move at first, but as the singer tells his story, he quickly sprinkles the food over the water's surface and then slips his hands inside his haori sleeves.
If one watches closely, they can see that his expression saddens. What a note to end the week on. But is he sad because of the song itself and the man involved in all the pain? Or is it because the lyrics can apply to himself?
The feed times out after a few moments of watching Ukitake stand there in the rain, the sun slipping quickly behind the clouds and horizon.]

And then:]
He was my boyfriend, when he was here before. I've been holding onto that since he left but I... think it's probably time I started letting go of it.

And then Ukitake bows his head, slowly taking up the folding again.]
I'm sorry to hear that.

[A sigh and he shifts the way he sits to become more comfortable.]
But I have been in a similar situation, so I know where you are coming from in trying to move on.

[He didn't of Sora as his boyfriend, anymore, but as his ex boyfriend. And that thought had been painful enough to employ.]

It doesn't depend only on time. If you are still attached, then you cannot always just force yourself to let go.
It's okay to hurt, to feel sad.

[Another crane done.]
You're still here and you're still living. I would hate for you to miss out on life because of being chained to the uncertain.

[He reaches out to rest a hand on one of Riku's own.]
I know.

This sucks.
[Offline]
It takes time, but nothing will lessen the pain.
Still, I can tell you're tough. You'll get through this, Riku.

[And he smiles, real and pure, because you just helped more than you'll ever know, Ukitake.]
