[ He doesn't say anything as the two share a private moment to themselves. He doesn't look, either, as he finds himself wanting to give the two as much privacy as possible, because it's not nice, what will happen next.

But he's decided he's ready to do this. To take Kaveh's heart and Alhaitham's blood. To know that this isn't the same as the last, it's not like the tragedy of Tatarasuna. It's a tragedy still, but it won't stay this way. At the end, they will all be fine. At the end, the two of them will be fine. For that reason, he's willing to shoulder their pain on his shoulders. He doesn't want to see their brilliance die here, stuck because of him.

He closes his eyes, then opens them and looks unfaltering at Kaveh. Looks at the fire burning within his eyes, sees his desire to give and give to the puppet. It's heavy, still, but he has no choice but to bear it now.

He nods quietly and moves to retrieve a dagger from the side—one that had clearly been prepared for this moment. He reaches out for it, and pauses for a moment. There is something he has been withholding about himself. It's a small, silly, inconsequential thing, but right now, it feels... appropriate, to give out.

Both of them deserved to know the name of the puppet that would kill them, he thinks.

He turns to face them both, dagger in hand. There is clarity in his eyes, and determination. This was not Tatarasuna. He would not be tricked, and he would not trick anyone. If he was to bear another sin, then he would bear it knowingly and willingly.

My name is Yuu. Let me have your heart and your blood, [ he says to both, reciting a line from the script ] so that I might become human, and fulfill my dreams of marrying the princess.
