[Wolfwood wheezes, still struggling to comprehend that Vash actually means what he says. That this whole time he knew what was up, yet he simply went along with it because...what, he was already going to hunt Knives down? He really does have soup for brains. This isn't just a case of finding Knives, Knives has a trap of some sort set up specifically for Vash, and he's going to be waltzing right into it.

Does that not matter? Even if he was already going to do that on his own, Wolfwood's actions are actively intending to harm him and the others they've been in contact with. Wolfwood has done everything he can to continue on that path up to this point, right down to killing Rollo. The disaster with Livio and Hopeland of course wasn't planned, but...

He falls silent. Mostly. He's shaking now, his breathing coming hard and fast as yet more flashes behind closed eyes, only this time he's remembering everything that feels like it happened just hours prior. Vash was there by his side for all of it, knowing...knowing that Wolfwood was going to betray him.

...

Wolfwood actually doesn't say another word, for now. Maybe he's too caught up in how awful he feels to speak. It just means he's leaning heavily into Vash, trying to breathe and...calm down, maybe. Yet every breath he takes comes hard and labored, to the point where it sounds like he's choking on it at times.]
