[Muttered more to himself than to Hikage, Sanji feeling something akin to exasperation taking over. Belph isn't really the tsundere type so much as he's just quick to throw himself under the bus, underplaying his importance in other people's lives, but seeing similar patterns reflected in Hikage is... jeez.
Poor Steph. She went and fell in love with two dumbasses.]
Belph was so depressed after you died, I was tempted to move in just so I could make sure his ass was eating properly.
[Doxxing his sorta best friend?? Yeah. Yeah he's gonna. Sanji's trying to prove a point]
Not gonna lie -- I was panicking. S'not like I'm great at talking other people out of their feelings. [...] I'm not expecting you to work miracles, life doesn't work like that, but you know how hard he was working to find your killer? He misses you.
[ it's strange; both Belph and Steph have told him themselves that they care about him, and he believes them. How can he not, after everything they've been through together - after showing them both parts of him and still being accepted by them? Even so, hearing from a third party how his own disappearance could affect them so strongly moves him. Especially affecting Belph - Belph, who did his best to act like nothing ever bothered him. He blinks in surprise, then rubs his nose, a thinly-veiled method of hiding the faint flush on his cheeks.
It feels so warm. Maybe he really is alive again. ]
... That idiot. He's only honest when I'm not around. [ baka............ in any case, he shakes his head, eager to get away from this topic before Sanji catches him having emotions or something. ] What about Stephanie?
