You say you're no better in one sentence, then admit you're halfway better in the next. I thought that guy would rather eat bees than let anyone in halfway.
[Although that is a good question. Akira's in pretty rough shape, and it might be better to wait on this kind of thing, but on the other hand, how long will it take for Goro to lose his nerve? How much of this conversation would have happened if he didn't catch him retching in the middle of the night?]
Tell him you want to talk to him, but it can wait until he's better. That way you can't back out.
[If they're doing things halfway to begin with, that puts Goro halfway through the door. Still, it feels a little too harsh to leave it at that, so Silver reaches out a hand to rest on Goro's shoulder. It's alright. He's doing fine.]
[The motion makes him flinch a tiny bit, just surprised, but after a moment's hesitation he leans against Silver's side, sipping his hot chocolate again.]
Okay. That's a good idea. [that he won't go with because he's a dumbass but in the other direction] Sorry. I feel a little guilty about running off to other people to talk about my problems instead of turning to Akira, but despite that I end up doing so anyway. It's not like I'm afraid of him leaving me because of those things, or anything changing because of anything in that past, but...
[It's hard? It's not easy. He doesn't understand himself full on the why of that either, exhaling softly.]
Nevermind. I'm more likely to mess things up now than anything the other me could've done, I suppose. How have you been? On the, um, memory front. Neither you nor Miss Liz tend to speak of them very openly. It sort of makes me feel bad for having such reactions to my own in the first place...
[...That's what he says, anyway, but when he's finished scolding Goro for it, he'll let it slide anyway. Things from his memories...]
I learned that I worked for a super villain.
[That's one of the easier things to open up about, surprisingly enough. Maybe it will make Goro feel better to not be the only one making questionable decisions. Maybe not. Either way, the more he thinks about it, the more he doesn't really feel bad about it, as stupid of a decision as it may have been.]
He tried to use a... god bird, I guess to- in his words- create a utopia.
[He lets out a short, exasperated sigh and centers himself before continuing.]
He also said he had his regrets about it at the time, and I believed him, but I was way more interested in doing whatever he asked for the sake of my own revenge than his personal motives.

I suppose we have that in common, then. What sort? Affable children's show, actual danger to society, or something else?

[His memories or not, they do gain a new perspective on it.]
It does sound similar to mine, though. Even if I don't think you'd kill to that end. Though I imagine it would be easy to..?
[berry and everyone else are fuckin dangerous
he loves them but my Dude.]
