Th-There is nothing wrong, Yuuya..! It is merely-!
[Well, it'll be clear for Yuuya himself honestly. There are no cuts or abrasions after all, and the trail of 'red' just goes to the bottoms of the eyes. Or...sort of.
It looks more brown once it's over the fur mask. Actually, the fluid itself isn't even red, despite the stains and...
As a bit of red vine dabs at them (hardly a conscious action), he might figure it out.]

Oh. Yuya's expression eases, because while he's seen Gongenzaka cry before it's never been like this. It's a subtle grieving that surprises him.]
Hey. [His tone is soft, and this time he reaches up to try and gently wipe some of those tears away with his thumb.]
no subject
...It is a shameful display, is it not? [he finds himself muttering quietly.]
For all of the choices I, the man Gongenzaka have made... ...I can only weep in the face of their consequences...doing nothing but that.
[One would-or at least perhaps, he would-even say he's feeling sorry for himself.
But he knows that isn't it. He knows the powerlessness trapping all of them right now, he knows what choices led them there... ...He is not sorry for himself but rather fearful, and trapped in a web of indecision.
There is nothing to be done but wait.
And it's horrifying.]
no subject
So he reaches with his other hand as well to clear Gongenzaka's face, not to discourage him but to preserve some of his dignity. The movement is a little awkward, at first, but Yuya doesn't think too far about comforting Gon. Only knowing that he needs to.]
It's not shameful. [He smiles a little, reassuring.] It won't end here.
no subject
[It should not be something he needs. He shouldn't need comfort, not because it's a weakness but simply because it means he isn't able to comfort someone else, and idly his thoughts veer back to when they had been talking over that scroll, but...
Well, old habits die hard, evidently.]
no subject
He doesn't want to have another back and forth about this. Gonenzaka is already weeping, anyway. So instead of trying to tell him it's okay, Yuya just continues to smooth his hands over his friend's face, smiling softly while he looks up at him.
He's a little scared they won't, truthfully, although that's a fear he pushes way down. Still, it makes it hard to find the words to comfort with.
Yuya lets the silence hang between them, so Gonenzaka can navigate his feelings at his own speed.]
no subject
...well.
He half collapses against the other, one arm draped over his friend the way it would typically before a hug, but going no further. He appreciates the silence. More than anything, he appreciates it- while the brunt of the crying is long over, the weight of emotions after all is not, and it's more than difficult to simply shake off years of training and dedication to a particular mindset. He'd come up with an excuse if it was brought up-
But without that, he can at least quietly come to terms with the idea of it being alright.]
no subject
He closes his eyes, letting the tension in his shoulders resolve as his fingers dig slightly in Gongenzaka's mane. It's scary and hard, but that's easier to bear when they aren't alone.]
... I'm glad you're here.
Should that be all here you think?
...I, the man Gongenzaka, am glad that you are here as well...
Sounds good o7
