[ And then he does, the first moment he's available. He brings a paper crane, thanks to that whole origami spot Newt made in the mess hall. Still he's careful, in case Blue is asleep. ]
Yeah, I'm doin' my best. [ By morning drinking, and distracting himself, so he doesn't sound too convincing. That's what he was always good at. Everything is on fire right now!!— oh look, stall with good food, time to focus on that and that only ]
Guess I caught up a new hobby in the meantime—! [ Now he sounds almost normal, even mustering a bit of fake cheer ] Made lil' somethin' for you even.
[ That was unexpected, and a surprise briefly flash across Majima's face. He didn't expect Blue to know this story, so there is his plan of telling it, lying in shambles. ]
Yeah, that was the gist of it, the whole legend of one of the mythical creatures— but eventually, the cranes become a symbol for healin'
[ The bummity-bum-bum passes quickly at the sight of that spark that Blue just exhibited. ]
Yeah. They can fly tirelessly for long distances, so far they were said to be able to fly to heavens and then back. According to legends they also live for 1,000 years— the bird was destined to become the symbol of good fortune!

You know papercraft, too? It seems to be going around...
[give him a moment to sit up a bit; once he does, he'll reach over to accept the little piece.]

he fixes his gaze on the papercraft in his hand, fingers twitching a little in their idleness.]
Is it...because of their wings? The want to fly away from sickness...

[ And he wants to lift Blue's spirits not ruin them ]

I'm glad, then... That you can weave the rest of your story. With your own hands.
It's...not so dark right now.
