At least Tadashi has some concept of what's going on. Robert still doesn't, other, than, well, the obvious. He's in a graveyard, talking with a former student, both their 'graves' within eyeshot.

Maybe some part of him is actually in his.

His silence stretches on, dull eyes staring at Tadashi for another set of moments before they close. And this time, when he reaches for them, it's just to wipe away some of the moisture that's collected there and give him a moment to collect himself as he speaks, voice only hitching a bit-

"All right."

He feels as though he should set some boundaries on that, but he can't quite bring himself to say anything more, yet. It already feels as though he's lost some great battle, just allowing any of this, but how can he have fought it in the first place when he's already leaning so heavily on someone who has every right to let him fall?

"If it helps-" he adds, a sad little humor in his voice, "I can't tell you what I'm doing, either." Not from hiding it- but from not even really understanding it, himself.

...to be fair, there is a little of the former, but it's mostly the latter.
