[Allen will be near Rin a lot of the time, but occasionally, he'll leave Rowan to stay near him and take care of a few things around the house. he's still in that calm state, not smiling for once, but tiredly making sure people are comfortable for lack of knowing what else to do.]
[ After... everything... he's going to approach Allen to check on him. It feels like a lot of people are at a loss for words, but he still wants to see how he is. ]
[and there it is. and Allen could cry about it because the one person who got that particular memory and knows is now--]
Mr. Kaburagi, I explained a bit about the Millennium Earl and his akuma, right? I don't remember how much, about the akuma I've mentioned, but... in my world, when a person grieves so much, the Earl takes notice. And uses that grief to call on the source of fuel for the akuma.
Even if there's no way for him to notice and come here, I couldn't... not again.
[oh. a hug. Allen Walker gets those so rarely, in fact. and it's kind of a relief to have a bit of a shield from prying eyes in this state? so he clings a little and nods against Kotetsu's chest.]
[it's enough to give him time to work on steadying his breathing again. calming and putting the hurt back where he'd stashed it, waiting, but out of the way. for now.]
... thank you.
[it seems small to say it, but it's important to have it said.]

It gets harder as we go, doesn't it?
no subject
Mm, much harder. But that's to be expected, as we all get to know each other a bit more.

I'm not a stranger to loss, at least.

That's... that's certainly true. But if I focus on that, then... I really wouldn't get anywhere.

Then I guess the best we can do is keep strong. But don't forget, you can still lean on us. A burden shared is less heavy.
