And if I could move I'm sure it would only be to crawl back to you [W2, Thurs]

[As the sun finally settles below the horizon, Hiro finds himself coming back out of his hut. It's Thursday and he knows he only has a few hours before he needs to be back and it's for that reason he walks down to the water's edge. Settling down, he takes off his sneakers and sits on the wet sand, feet in the ocean and staring off into the distance. He'll be there for a while.

It's where he'll be by the time Nino finds him, and though he's not facing her at all he does speak up.]

…dude, where are you going? [Too bad he's not talking to her. And as such...he's up on his feet and beginning to follow whatever he's seeing straight into the water.]

[It's important, okay... she can only help emotionally here, and she loves hearing about things like this. Really, from that way Hiro talks about Tadashi, it's clear--]

He seems like a really, really good big brother.

[She smiles softly.]

I'm sure you can still make him proud, Hiro. I...want to make my big brothers proud too. [Even though they're gone.]

But if you do your best... you can definitely do it.

...thanks, Nino. [There's a small smile.] The only way to do that is to keep moving even with all of the weird stuff going on on this island. Sitting here worrying about it too much isn't gonna help anybody, you know?

I think we can both still do something about all of this. What do you say?
