RIGHT

man what can I even say here that isn't rehashing stuff I babbled at you in chat

Of all the people he's met in Thusia, Chrono is probably the one who best gets him, what he went through, what that was like, what that meant to him, in the way that only someone who'd gone through those things would really comprehend. Empathy on the level of similar experiences and ways of dealing with those experiences, and the living, constant living in the aftermath. The kind of person one would be, to deal with these things in this way.

He feels he likewise gets Chrono, even not really knowing the specifics of his history, but surmising from the way he talks, the expressions on his face and a small, though not insignificant amount of just... feeling the echoes of the merpire that came before him. Because of this it wasn't difficult to just open up to him in a way he could with few others... probably any others, that time after Lumi's trauma buttonmashing. Raven he could never really talk to about Spirea because it was a Thing for him, too. Aerta he just tries not to talk about the specifics what he went through after her disappearance in general. None of the other successors would've had the same understanding. Chrono was just enough of a stranger and enough of a kindred spirit that he could talk... and talk, and talk, possibly for the first time since the day he left her behind in the stone.

So there's that kind of brodere bond of quiet mutual understanding there. He feels that Chrono is... kind, and much stronger than he is in heart, in the work of carrying on for those left behind, and the art of living on, and he seems just as old if not older than Chrys in both time and experience. And he respects Chrono for it, and takes his words and perspective with far greater weight for it, and despite himself can't help feeling a little jealous of the things Chrono has, in the now.

Nothing of the above has changed since the recent Shenanigans. Chrono did exactly what Chrys thought he would (once Chrys was able to think again). He had a good enough idea of what Ptou meant to Chrono that he expected no less. And Chrys owed it to him to at least cut down part of the burden of guilt Chrys had placed on him by causing him to have failed to protect his Important Thing. He carries enough as it is. He doesn't deserve more, least from the hands of someone like Chrys that Chrono had put trust and kindness into.

(When he considers how far gone he was, that the betrayal this would be to Chrono didn't factor in his equations at all.... because "Ptou" wasn't in the equation, all else connected to it was equally invisible.)

He will accept if Chrono never forgives him for what he did to Ptou. He's not sure it'll never happen, because Chrono's kindness might yet compel him to do something that really doesn't have to be. But he does expect Chrono understands what Chrys did to him, and why. Because they're similar creatures enough, after all.

Chrono's perspective on the recent shenanigans and Chrys?
