[ ah. his eyes are full of tears already but they just spill over completely at this, stinging harshly as they sink into the bloody cuts and scrapes that cover his face. with a sniff, he nods to himself, and makes it onto his feet. (along with his chunk of metal, just in case.)

he can still do this. mom and dad are still there. he has to get home for them.

so, he runs and doesn't look back. ]

[ yeah... yeah. he's got this. it's fine.

he finally comes to a stop a short distance behind... adrastea, apparently; and, taking their lack of a helmet to mean they don't need them anymore, he takes his off too. (the wig slides off, and he picks it up and... puts it back on his head in a bit of a daze, his own hair very much visible under it now that he's lost his wig cap.)

his vision is still blurry and he's squinting to see what's going on up ahead. ah... they found kazuki? that's good.

he coughs and waves weakly. ]


I'm here...
