[ His voice is very quiet and strained, nearly a whisper. ]

By the grace of God... I'm alive. He really is looking out for me...

But... the others...

...Anise...

[ There's a pause as he remembers his friend fondly. You won't hear him crying, but you will hear a bit of a sniff before he carries on with his entry. ]Prayers weren't enough.

[his tone is hesitant, soft, not like him at all] Anya, too.

[blade_of_faith]

... I'm sorry...

... Death most certainly... doesn't seem fair, does it...?

[nadleehs_virtue]

No. [hesitant] I should be, too.

Professor Marquis... Anya... the others. I didn't know the other two. I'm sorry.

Neil... he... [voice breaks]

[blade_of_faith]

There is no shame in crying. Now is a time for grieving, so if you feel the need, don't hold back. No one will think badly of you... Matthew 5:4. Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted.

... What happened? I'm listening, if you need to talk about it...

[nadleehs_virtue]

He was hurt because of me.

[blade_of_faith]

How was it because of you...? Certainly you didn't hurt him on purpose...

1/2

[nadleehs_virtue]

No! I wouldn't!

2/2

[nadleehs_virtue]

But he... he pushed me... and was hit with the spell...

[blade_of_faith]

I assume he did it as an act of protection...? You shouldn't have to feel guilty for a fate another chose for himself. Be thankful, but know that you are not to blame.

[nadleehs_virtue]

I think so. He wouldn't have needed to if I had been paying attention.
