[Zed isn't in the best of moods since another person he cared for disappeared, so he's taken to drink. Not that the alcohol has ever helped him, but it has him thinking about home...and some not so pleasant business back there.]
There's an item back home that operates like the Chinese gu. Except instead of venomous creatures, you insert humans. It is said that once the ritual is complete, it will lead to the destruction of the world.
The humans inside are forced to kill each other and mix together until becoming one being. The skin disappears while the skeleton, muscles, and organs fuse together. They're neither dead nor alive because of the magic that binds them.
Let's say the item broke, and a part of the conglomerate was separated from the whole. The humans that make up this "specimen" are children. Do you destroy it to prevent the ritual from being completed?

People I care about have returned home, but his disappearance hurts more. [In different ways, too. The loss of not being able to see him again is overwhelming, but he also knows the Servant's fate. To die and be summoned again. He can't help but wonder how many times that has happened...]
If I were human, I think I would have difficulty breathing. [Zed grips his shirt tighter.] This sort of pain...I'm not used to it.

[Unlike Zed, Ranpo's lost people whose disappearance left him devastated -- he was even one of the ones to comfort him after losing Yosano. And that makes him want to help Zed now all the more.]
But it's okay to not feel okay right now. You have me and your other friends to support you right now. So you can lean on us, until it feels easier to breathe again.
[--metaphorically speaking, since he can't breathe in the open air anyway shh]
