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?

.....A Devil's Proof...

[More than that, he's...remembering what Virgillia told him, and the discussion they had.

He's...not sure if he can believe the idea that they're not really dead - but the reminder that they're not lying, That he sees something different than all of them...makes him taking a deep breath.

'...Sissel-kun...is right.
Did I just give up because I decided this isn't a board?
No. I promised, to myself...that I would help them all.

...If I'm being honest...It still hurts.
I think...I'll be hurting for Rin for a long, long time...
...But, if there's even a slight chance....that all of this suffering, for everyone, can be solved...
...Then I can't avert my eyes from that.
Then, I have to get back up again....and face this head on...!'

His eyes sharpen a bit, losing the air of hopelessness in them before he nods again.]

...You're....You're right. I...can't give up.

['I can't let Rin and everyone's deaths be in vain...!']

[ghostricked]

Hm.

[He can't smile, but the feeling is still there. He finally hops off Battle to curl up against this side instead]

And I'll keep supporting you.

[boardreversal]

...Thank you.

[He remains on his back, automatically reaching down to stroke Sissel when he setting against his side.

He has...a lot to think about, still.

But, maybe, just maybe...

...He can get up and try again.]
