[ He ignores Mephisto's warning (like a real teenager blowing off someone telling them to stay indoors) in favor of just lying there, his breathing seeming to even out over the course of the next few minutes despite saying he wouldn't fall asleep. Him speaking would come as a surprise, but it comes nonetheless after calculated silence (and steeping in the increasingly real possibility of his death, like he can't rest until he has an answer): ]
If...if I really die from this - can ya...tell Yukio somehow? When he wakes up.
[ There's...literally no one else he can ask, since Mephisto's the one person who's at his deathbed. He wouldn't go as far as to ask him to look after Yukio, since he's 1) already technically their guardian and 2) that's what Shura is for. But because he's turned away, he can't see the fearful expression on Rin's face, fear both for dying and for what dying would mean for his last remaining family. Something about this illness makes Rin feel vulnerable in a way that he hadn't felt since Kyoto, emotional in a way that had him questioning just how long he had left to live. Which makes for a very unbrave, unreckless, un-Rin image. ]
