"You've reached the comms device of Megaman.EXE. I'm not available at the moment, so please leave a message and I will respond as soon as I am able! Thank you!"
[Megaman. Not everybody has had the same intimate experiences with death that you have. There is going to be some variance and you are going to have to deal with it.]
I'm not doubting it's in yours. But my world is different. If I can't bring him home with me somehow, that's it. This'll be the last time I ever see him.
[What can Megaman even say to that? Hiro and Tadashi's situation is simultaneously painfully close and completely different to his own, and he's not entirely sure how to handle it. He knows what he wants to say, and it probably isn't what Hiro wants to hear.
So instead, he just tugs at Hiro's hand, gentle gentle. Come here, little bro, at least let him hold you.]
[ It's a hard topic to broach, especially with someone as stubbornly atheist as Hiro. The most he'll let himself believe in is the possibility that Sunfire's existence in Baymax's world is enough to influence Tadashi's path in his own ...
Reluctantly, he scoots closer to Megaman before just flat out leaning his shoulder against the navi's. Abruptly blinking back tears, he has to take in a deep virtual breath to keep his voice from wavering. ]
It's just ... it's just how it is. I can't rely on hope to change things.
[For Megaman, it's just a matter of logic. Hub's soul had to go somewhere, so obviously that means there's a somewhere for it to go. Granted, he's also just a lot more open to the idea of scientifically inexplicable things in general - dying and coming back will do that.
The moment Hiro leans into him he's shifting position, and unless he's prevented he'll be wrapping his arms around him and pulling him close, one hand rubbing circles into his shoulder. If he lets him, Megaman'll even tuck Hiro's head against his neck. It's a bit of an awkward position for Megaman, but dammit, he's not about to let two and a half inches keep him from comforting his operator.]
Oh, Hiro. [He hugs a little harder at that. This hurts, because he doesn't know how to make this better. He only knows what he's gone through himself.] ...you might not be able to change things at all.
[ Hiro's still compacted himself down from their earlier conversation, so perhaps it's not as awkward as all that. In any case, he leans in kind of hard, trying desperately to choke back a sob. He doesn't quite succeed in that. ]

Yeah. Exactly that.

Trust me, Hiro, you've already found the best way. For both of you.
[Because if Tadashi is anything like Megaman, anything bad for baby brother is even worse for big brother.]
