[ Blade...doesn't quite have that much faith in himself when it comes to his own will in resisting his own condition - as much as Dan Heng does, anyway. It's gotten actually better than in the beginning of this, because there has been an inevitable increase in how he's able to tell that he can make decent choices, even where he is at now. That he can improve, even if the mere thought of it is actually frightening (since...what if he slides back? Or...)

And, at the same time, it isn't so long ago when even a low number of days ago he had tried to kill Dan Heng with his own hands. But, despite those complex emotions - there's more good than bad; his memories of providing resistance when he could against that madness, are not to be forgotten.

As well as realization that Dan Heng trusts him that much. Blade has to continue to ensure he's worthy of that trust, of the love he's granted him; to treat him as someone who deserves the best of him. So, hearing his decision, he breathes out, saying softly: ]

...It's appreciated.

[ Blade's placing a good deal of trust in this indeed - and he knows, should there need to be a quick departure, that it won't be impossible. That being said, he will also give Dan Heng's hand another squeeze. ]

Let's take a walk. We're going to leave this place...exploring through the rooms one last time won't hurt.

[ Of course, it's an excuse for them to have more private time for just the two of them - without the gaze of others upon them. Though the memories provide sentimental value. ]
