[ . . . buzen just smiles faintly at that, more than a little sheepish. in the end, he doesn't disagree with rang. in fact, he thinks that it'd be nice to get to choose. to not have to lose this body and this heart, even for all the times that it's become inconvenient.]
... I want to keep it. Even for all the times that it's hurt me, it lets me reach the people that I want to. So... I'd like to hold onto it.
[he rubs the back of his neck sheepishly]
But - that's not up to me.
So I guess that's just one more impossible thing that I want.
[rang clicks his tongue in lieu of a better answer. because normally at this point, he'd say something like 'what if I could grant that wish for you?' and then propose a deal with terrible odds just so he can see the other person suffer.
but he doesn't have that power here. and maybe he doesn't want to see buzen suffer. not when any suffering rang doles out pales in comparison to whatever these swords have to shoulder,]
I want you to keep your heart, even if it is impossible. You wouldn't be as interesting without it.
[ah - that makes buzen smile a little bit, amused, considering what rang had just said.]
Oh? Even though it's a punishment? Do you want me to keep suffering some more, Rang?
[even though buzen's mentality is entirely different - sure, this heart is a burden sometimes. it aches when he doesn't want it to. but it's also full of so much warmth and love. there is so much he gets to experience, because he is more human now
in the end, this curse has become a blessing to him.]

That's just what living is.
[existence is a curse!! sure there are upsides to it but we don't talk about that here,
he's sure that buzen already knows all of the great things that come with living anyway,]
So just keep on living.
