Hearing laughter all of the sudden, Shun shot Hel a sharp look, somewhat in surprise. Why the hell was she laughing?! For that matter.. happy to hear him say that? What...
And then she began to cry.
The Reaper was incredibly baffled.
"What the ******** Hel?" he asked, now feeling angry and confused at the same time. She was apparently happy and laughing and yet crying all the same time. And because of what he had said?
"Explain yourself at once," he hissed.

Once she started, she couldn’t stop. Hel buried her face in her hands and just sobbed. “I have just….finally reached the bottom of that hole I have been falling down…!” Her shoulders shook.
“I…I lost Mot…he does not love me anymore like how I loved him, and oh gods…I am questioning everything now…everything is falling around me and I do not even know what I stand for most of the time now. I felt like an outcast, so utterly alone with my thoughts, beliefs and feelings…comparing them to his…I felt like I was the only one…but hearing you say that…it reminds me…it reminds me that I am not alone…and oh…Shun…”
Hel’s lip wibbled, and unfortunately for the grim, and leaned over and rested her cheek on his shoulder, bringing her hands up to hold into it as well. “You do not know how much of a relief it is…to hear those things so strongly echoed in another.”

At first, when she said that she had lost Mot, he thought he had been taken or something to that effect too. But then, things clarified some. And for a moment, he felt a sharp stab into his heart. The fear that he'd lose Mitsu's own love should she still be alive. He was worried about it before... but could she ever forgive him for ******** up so hard? Probably not.
Grimacing, Shun soon realized that she was now kind of crying on his shoulder and he just sort of sat still, unhappy.
He was still confused.
"Such things are all I have left... If not for those I'd be nothing. Not even the worthless scum that I am.." he murmured lowly while staring towards the ground.

Sorry Shun, Hel was blubbering now.
“You are not worthless scum, Shun!” The reaper cried, muffled by his shoulder in addition to her sobbing. “You…you are one of the best beings I know and have the honor to call my friend…!”

It was a little awkward to have Hel crying into his shoulder like this. He wasn't sure what to do of it. If it were Mitsu, it'd be straight forward. But this was Hel of all people.
"No," he said quietly, "I'm sure if you asked Mot, you'd receive a different answer."

“He will stay behind while his friends are in danger…why would you let someone who would do that, matter!? I do not care what he thinks…or anyone for that matter…what I think Shun…I think you are not worthless scum.”

Well, despite what had happened between her and Mot, he was a little surprised to hear that coming out of her. If Mitsu had stopped loving him... he didn't think that he would feel such resentment towards her specifically.
"Do you seriously mean that? Or is that just bitterness taking hold?" he frowned.

Hel sniffled, and was quiet for a moment as she thought about it.
“Both.” She replied in earnest. “It angers me…the thought of not trying all you can for those you care about…but I am…bitter too. Very, very bitter.” She muttered.”

"I see..." Shun murmured quietly, "I'm sorry for what happened between you two."
He still didn't really understand that whole apology process, but he did it anyway. Shaking his head, he just looked towards Hel, still furious in his own right. But for now he was a little distracted.

Those words would have pissed her off coming from anyone else…but coming from Shun, they took on a new meaning. Genuine sympathy from the grim, and it continued to touch her. “…Thank you.” She murmured. She was sorry too, and for some time, the ghoul lapsed into a long silence as she just cried on the grim’s shoulder. Just cried for everything once again. As much as she hated it, she just didn’t want to hold it all in anymore. Anger, sadness, confusion, pity, frustration, and everything in between.
After some time she had quieted down, but for the time being, kept her head on his shoulder. “…Shun.” Her voice was soft and hoarse. “When you go…will you take me with you?”

When the silence fell upon them, Shun just continued to stare towards the ground, brooding. The silence gave little comfort for him and he was still very much in turmoil. And when Hel spoke up again, he didn't look towards her.
"No. I'm doing this alone."

Hel opened her mouth and then closed it.
Her brows furrowed, and she seemed to be thinking. Part of her wanted to point out that they got overwhelmed still when they were in a group…surely going alone couldn’t be the best idea. Another part of her though…said she needed to respect Shun’s decision. How could she just…sit here though, when he was gone, and be okay with that?
“…I…I get it.” She muttered. “…But.” She paused. “…Shun…will your odds not be better…if there was more? What if…you go…and they have more…?”

"I'm going. Alone."
Yes. The odds would technically better. But he didn't have an army to fend off everyone. This was most likely going to be a suicide mission unless they had that many people. Shun didn't want to get someone else killed for his sake. This was something better off doing on his own. But before then, he needed to prepare as much as possible.

Now Hel was having a harder time keeping her mouth shut.
She sat up, rubbing the back of her head as she leveled a teary incredulous look at him. “…Shun…I do not take comfort in the idea of you going off on your own with those odds…! If something happens to you…how will…how will Mitsu feel…!? What if…you got her back but then something happened and…she was…all alone!?”

"She still has friends here.. She would not be alone," Shun said quietly. He looked towards Hel finally as he said that, "If anything were to happen, she would feel worse if more people were killed. For everyone's sake it's better if I don't have anyone else with me for this."
