the truth is, everyone wishes to be saved.

The execution has come and passed with the death of two more Agents. However time moves on without cease and so must the living. There are no celebrations, only the silence that grows heavier and heavier with every day and the feeling that something is pleased with what it has done.

There are two more days before the new week arrives: what will you do?

[He can't stop, his sobbing turning incoherent, as he clings and cries, helplessly.

Though he shakes his head at the plea to not blame himself, he can't speak.

He's felt like he's cried an ocean, and yet...there is still, and will always be more. An Ocean of sorrow and regret, that'll never drain.]

[zweivoltage]

[A sound, almost like a sob escapes from him]

Bat-battler...

[He's crying... he's crying why is he crying when it's Battler that's hurting? It did hurt to see the fights, the dead, but he needed to be strong. The young man sniffles despite himself, trying to swallow back the sounds]

[boardreversal]

[He'd normally say it's okay to cry right along with him - or perhaps say he shouldn't be crying so hard - but he can't speak. There's nothing but the tears coursing through him right now, and he...

He needs to let it all out. Or else...he'll drown.]

[zweivoltage]

[He swallows, managing to keep the sobbing in check somewhat, but he still let out rather snotty sniffles, tears streaking]

Ahn...

[Then slowly, his hands lowered, putting it around Battler, unsure about the gesture... but it seems appropriate?]

[boardreversal]

[It is - it's not inappropriate at least, as his begin to wind down to just hiccups and half-breaths, quietly seperating himself from Ky and wiping his face.]

....Thank you, Kiske-kun...

[It feels...better, to know that someone is there to catch him - and when he finishes, he sees sight of those tears and pauses.]

...You....

[...Is this...what it feels like, to have someone also cry for you? Or....]

...It's alright, Kiske-kun. You can - you can cry, just a little. I won't...tell anyone.

[zweivoltage]

[He rubs at his eyes with the heel of his hand, then his sleeve]

Th... thank you.

[Slowly, Ky exhales]

I came to check on you - and... and here we are.

[boardreversal]

...Sorry.

[He feels like he should apologize, though he's through sobbing the way he just did.]

...But, thank you for checking up on me. ...Even if, all I did was cry...

[There's a moment when he places his hand to his head, giving a soft noise of pain.]

I...think I better drink the tea you brought...
