[ it's always dangerous making these promises when you have no control over whether you stay or you go, but ryouma is determined; he'll keep repeating himself until izō believes it. ]
Whatever else there is, count on that. [ they have a lot to sort out, but it won't change this. he hopes izō understands that much. ] Where am I gonna go? I ain't losin' ya again, either. One day, I'll find Oryou again, and it'll be the three of us like it's meant t' be. Plus, ya got everybody else, remember? Emily and Majima. And there's no tellin' how all this works... it could jus' be temporary. What ya built still exists, even if ya ain't together right now...
[ ryouma pets izō's hair gently and rubs his back, speaking in a quiet voice. it's easy for him to talk and be optimistic, and even though it's hard to watch izō in so much pain, he can't help but smile a little at the thought of what good he knows izō does have going for him. ideally, he's managing to be at least a little soothing. ]
It's gonna be alright, see? So many people love ya, Izō.
