[He lets her promise settle in the dead weight of the air for a moment, with Scott keeping silent again. But it's not too long before there's a small little nod, one that may be easy to miss, before he slowly starts to open the door wider for her. He doesn't say anything, but the invitation is clear, even as he remains still in the entryway. Maybe for the first time, he doesn't look happy to see her as his eyes dart to hers for a moment before turning downward again, but there was still some unquestionable relief there, something that Kotone might've noticed.
He hates facing things alone and her presence here confirms that he doesn't have to. It's nice... and he's so lucky, isn't he? He wonders if this was how she felt before her markings started to acted up, and it hurts to think she dealt with it by herself. He didn't even think to check on her back then. Hopefully Akira or someone did.
Feeling somewhat self-conscious all of a sudden, Scott pulls his sleeve down, as if trying to hide the corruption that's seeped into his skin.]

I'm sorry.
