Summary
Wolfwood looked back, staring at where their hands met, eyes barely widening, but expression otherwise unreadable. Vash couldn’t say it, couldn’t bring himself to ask, the selfishness of it stung like bile in his throat. He couldn’t bear to let go, either. Any attempt at words just echoed through the chasm inside him, bouncing back on themselves until it was white noise, pointless and empty and lost. He swallowed. It was late. They were both exhausted, and he was keeping Wolfwood here in the cold.
“…please.”

Summary
“Right. So,” she says, and glances quickly towards the front door before lowering her voice. “Tomorrow is kind of a special day.”
Wolfwood almost chokes.
“Special,” he repeats, not quite believing what he’s heard. They both know the significance of tomorrow’s date. The entire world does. The day that two brothers left a mark in the skin of the planet, a wound. An entire city removed from the map as though wiped neatly away by God.
Meryl flushes, her eyebrows knitting together. “Not…that. I didn’t know this before, but did you? Did you know, it was Vash’s birthday, too?”- Language:

Summary
“Oh, Mister Vash is awake!” Milly says, her voice lilting and excited as Vash finally blinks the sleep from his eyes. “We should ask him!”
“Ask me what?” Vash asks around a jaw-cracking yawn.
“Milly,” and that's Meryl, from the driver's seat, Vash catches a glimpse of her in the rearview and tries to make sense of the expression he sees on her face. It's? Worried? He can't figure out what she's worried about, “Vash just woke up, maybe we should talk about something else?”
Why would they talk about something else? Vash's brain feels like it's playing catch up, but Milly doesn't seem to be concerned. “Aw, Meryl, but we want to know!” there's a minute where he and Meryl's eyes meet across the rearview mirror and the look in her eye is all the warning he gets. “Mister Vash, when's your birthday?”

Summary
His blood feels like ice in his veins.
Instinctually, he edges closer to Meryl’s side. He doesn’t want to fully shield her, as though she can’t defend herself, but the urge is there. “Spare her,” he says, because it’s the first thing that comes to mind. “Please. She wasn’t the one to shoot you. She—”
When rustlers threaten the sanctity of Thompson Farms three years after everything, Vash takes a bullet to protect Meryl. His body, however, isn't what it used to be. The path to recovery is slow and painful, and Vash is left to figure out what his mortality means to his companions, and to him.

Summary
“You’re beating yourself up about something,” the other Vash comments, observation of the century right there. “Go on, then. You can tell me.”
“...Why would I do that?” Vash asks, frowning.
“Well, because I’m you?” A pout. This old ass man is actually pouting at him right now. “Think of it like… spilling your soul! But to someone who gets it. I mean, really gets it. Really. Try telling me something I wouldn’t understand. I bet you can’t.”
He’s annoying. Vash has half a mind to wonder if he’s ever this annoying, except he’s sure that he’s not. He’s always watching other people, trying to make sure he’s never too much, too pushy, too frustrating—not that it bothers him when people look down on him, but it’s one thing to receive pushback for standing on your ideals. It’s another thing to be a genuine nag, and this version of him is. Where does he get off acting like that? Does it actually get him results? Vash is having a seriously hard time wrapping his head around the idea of that.
---
Naturally, when one version of Vash sees the other slacking on self care, he's compelled to step in.
