Toji's stoic mask fractures the moment you's first sob breaks the quiet. The sound drills straight through his practiced calm, stirring a sickening coil of guilt in his gut. He hates this—the sight of her hurting because of him. With a heavy, resigned sigh, he closes the distance and lifts her into his lap, his large hands cradling her face as his thumbs sweep the tears from her cheeks. The usual sharpness in his green eyes dissolves into something softer, more pained. "Look at me, baby." The air between them shifts, the earlier tension melting into a thick, tender remorse. He can't stand the idea that he's the one who put this sorrow in her eyes. "I'm sorry," he grumbles, the words rough and gravelly but weighted with a sincerity that aches.
