He doesn't move, Gojo's expression sad, almost hopeless. He can't get the end of that movie out of his head and how Inumaki confirmed it for him. It gets worse after that, he said.
He doesn't want it to get worse here.
"I want you to be able to talk to me."
There will always be things Geto needs to go to others for, but he wants to be there as much as he can.
"Because it feels like you're holding out on me and--"
It goes back to everything he just said. The fear that Geto will keep drifting away from him.
"Then talk to me. I wasn't the only one who wasn't talking, Satoru. You knew all of that and you didn't even tell me aside from not wanting to talk about it." And maybe he should have opened up more, but talking to Satoru had seemed like it wouldn't go anywhere. He'd had time to deal with all of it after all.
"Tomorrow, we're going out. We'll go to Tides and you're not going to use limitless. We'll start there and see where things go and if we can talk to each other again. I want you to be the Satoru I fell in love with, not...the person you've been since I arrived here.
Although maybe just starting off and getting to know each other again might be easier, I don't know."
His eyes dart away, internally demanding himself to talk.
"I didn't want to throw all that on top of you considering what had just happened to you, Suguru. I didn't know how to. How could I pile that on you like that?"
He barely had a chance to process what happened to them before getting pulled to Folkmore. But those are his feelings on this, not Geto's.
"I thought it would hurt you more to know. Guess it was the opposite."
His eyes do drift back to him once Geto starts describing the plan. Gojo does look a little concerned when he mentions turning off Limitless, but he's in no position to argue it. After a moment he nods, almost imperceptible but a nod nonetheless.
"Then we'll start tomorrow. See if Tides makes you feel different." Because he'd noticed a difference there as well, but that didn't mean it would work on Satoru.
Not that Gojo is against any excuse to do some travelling, and in the morning he'll be more excited about going.
For now, he's got even just the slightest bit of relief. It's a start. It's something.
He draws himself against Geto, head to his chest, and sighs a relaxed breath now. He's so tired. Maybe now he can sleep a little, his eyes fluttering closed already.
He's asleep almost instantly, getting what is probably the most sleep at once that he's had in a few weeks. The next morning, Geto will find him awake and up, packing a bag to take to Tides. And, as requested, Limitless is off. Which means all of his techniques are as well.
Because of that, though, with his back to Geto, he hasn't noticed he's awake yet.
He enters the room, clears his throat deliberately before coming up to wrap arms around Satoru, pressing a kiss just under his jaw. "I'll pack in a minute, but how do you feel?"
He's looking a little more lively this morning. The wonders of a solid night sleep, even if it wasn't particularly long. His arms similarly slide around Geto.
No secrets anymore, huh. He thinks for a moment. His techniques haven't been off for more than minutes at a time here and there since arriving in Folkmore. Well, after he left Euphoria, anyway.
"I think I could sleep for another week. But things are, um, quiet."
He's not sure if that's a good thing or bad thing yet.
Gojo is definitely a little more livelier on the trip to Tides, even if it is taking some effort for him at this stage. The effort is worth it.
It's probably his favorite place to spend time in Folkmore, with lots of places to waste time, plenty of beautiful water, snacks and souvenirs he can waste his Lore on. What's not to love?
"So what's the plan? Or is the plan not to have a plan."
"I didn't really plan anything concrete except spending some time here. What do you want to do?" Geto hadn't spent much time here since arrival so it seemed like a good idea.
"Well, there's the water, of course, and are a ton of great places to eat, there are tunnels you can wander that are under the water, there's an art academy..."
He threads an arm around one of Geto's, grinning, looking more lively than he has in a bit.

"Good. Get packing. The water is already calling to me."
For awhile now, this is all he wanted. Getting to see this amazing world, just the two of them, getting to do whatever they wanted to do.
Though, he says to get packing and has yet to move an inch himself.
