[He doesn't move, just lets her move in her own time. He doesn't say anything, either - but he he doesn't mind that she's got him between her and Kuu. Carefully, he puts a hand on her hand, smiling - and he catches Rachel's frown out of the corner of his eye.]

[He takes a deep breath, and lets it out slowly as he turns to face her more fully.]

You're... you're dead. Okay? And I... I don't think I can ever love anyone the way I loved you. That's impossible. The things we went through... no one will go through those things again. Not on our planet, at least.

[He squeezes Rakka's hand gently, trying to draw courage from his friend. It's not like they're romantically involved, but... friends are important.]

... I love you, Rachel. I always will. I don't think I'm ready to love anyone else. Not yet. I don't know if I will in the future... but I love you. And I'm sorry I couldn't be there with you. If I had known that he was sending you to die... I would have at least gone with you. Maybe I could have done something. Maybe I just would have gotten killed. But you wouldn't have been alone. ... And I'm sorry that I couldn't... I couldn't... that you were alone when you died.

[His breath comes in gasps as tears start to stream down his face, his voice somewhat strangled.]

I'm sorry. I love you, Rachel. I miss you.

[There's a light from the ghost, and Tobias blinks in surprise.]

Wh... what?

[The ghost disappears, leaving a Yamask in its place. It floats there, and Tobias scrubs his face, trying to see more clearly.]

You... oh. Oh.

[He turns to look at Rakka, and then at Kuu.]

... Maybe they want to help you say goodbye.

Yaa...

[That might be a yes.]
