[ This is, of course, the pot calling the kettle black. Being annoyingly stubborn is how they endure each other, one must assume. They say hell is other people, but if this is their punishment then Gil doesn't feel particularly bothered by it.
"I'm here" is hardly an answer, but it's answer enough. Gil has no idea how he'll go about seeking to disprove Rau's nihilism this time. He'll have to test all boundaries of their little mind prison for that. But knowing that Rau will watch him try, this time, without disappearing to a realm that is deader than dead...
Well, it's more commitment than Gil would have asked for in life. And it's enough commitment that it fills his chest with something warm and comfortable.
He's leaning forward even more now - not in the same way as when he brought this foreheads together earlier, though. There is a different intent here, and it should not be particularly surprising after all that has transpired.
Gil won't ask for permission, but he gives Rau enough time to push him off if he really feels he needs to. If Rau doesn't do that, however... then he'll connect their lips in a kiss. ]
