Meanwhile, had Roland been privy to such thoughts, he would have gladly offered a similar yet opposing take. Families for him have begun to convene on the train, between Trunks's entire brood appearing out of thin air, to Inigo's mother who he had just met earlier. It worries him, but he's shoved it so far back in his mind that Roland merely hums at Taiki's observations.

He settles next to Taiki when all the drinks have been served. This would be his first time to try a new concoction of milk, and his first sip is telling. It's delicious.

"Do you want to go there after this?" He says kindly, a tilt of his head to the side in close listening. "I wouldn't mind taking a trip. Or to just keep a friend company." Especially when losses weigh heavily on their mind. Roland understands these days are never easy, no matter how often they come and go.
