He's not really sure what kind of reaction he was expecting. He had just thought, people had spoken about remembering those who were gone and painting them... That was a way to have an image that no time or fading of memory could take away.

He froze at Tidus' tears. Inigo's awe is easier to accept, Inigo fighting tears, trying to look happy because that was what Inigo always did. Taiki could have coped with Inigo crying, because that was what Inigo did. Been relieved even because he would know it to be honest. Even his actual reaction, though Taiki can tell there is upset under the words, is understandably Inigo.

Tidus however... Tidus rarely cries. Tidus has never cried in front of Taiki. Even in that terrible conversation in the cinema, Tidus had not let the tears fall. Yet here he was, tears running down his face and Taiki, looking between both of them wondered if he had made a terrible mistake.

For a moment he sat still, a deer in headlights and then slowly he reached out, a hand towards each of them, to gently touch their hands, not saying anything. Not sure whether to apologise. Not knowing if this reaction was good, a cathartic reaction or bad. A hurt, wounds reopening that Taiki should know have touched. He looks between them both, pressing his hands gently upon theirs.
