it's like something breaks inside of him. He's broken before - at Camp, in the long period of isolation he had - but that was enough to break even his hurt and his stubborn assumption that he never meant anything to Gabe, that he was just a burden.
Shadows be damned, he doesn't care what happens to him anymore - with quick steps, he comes over to where Gabe is sitting, kneels down -
And just hugs him, eyes squeezed shut as he presses himself close.]
I'm - I never wanted to hurt you, either -
[He knows the shadows will most likely not like him being so close, but - screw them.]
Just - hang on, alright? Hang on. Don't - give in.
[The shadows most definitely do not like having Ichigo that close, and as soon as he's there hugging Gabe they whip up and start thrashing about. But Gabe himself is at the center of that mass of shadows, still solid somehow. And he doesn't fight to get away from Ichigo's hug.
He is giving in, but not to despair. He'll let you kids handle things, this time.]

After a moment - wanting to get his feelings across - before he lets go, grabbing the tablet and sliding it back over to Gabe.]
Keep - Keep talking to them. Okay? Keep letting everyone know you're still here for as long as you can.
...I'm sorry, Gabe. For everything.
[And then -
he's gone, sliding out through the door.]
