Brother, are you coming up for dinner? You can't hide yourself away forever -- gosh I need to clean this room --

[Silence, followed by a shattering sound.]

Brother...?

... E-Ed...?

[A soft, breathless, painful-sounding sob.]

I-I couldn't... no...

[She came to see if he was alright but there were already people there... She's only been here for a short time and Al's been here for so long. They must be people he's known longer. It's probably better they're there. Still, she can't just sit by, not after he's done so much for her already so she sends a simple message.]

Al... You're not alone, okay? Don't forget that. You're not alone, no matter what happens.

[It's probably better that she didn't come in, Al's not too keen on a lot of people right now. Somehow... he can appreciate that she understood that, and she probably has no idea how much these simple words mean to him. It's what he most needed to hear. His reply comes later that night.]

... sorry you had to see me like that.

Hey, we made a deal, remember? [There's a smile to her tone.] I cry all over you, you cry all over me. I'd say we're even now.

I'm glad you have so many people who care about you here, especially your mother. And you've probably heard this a bunch of times tonight, but my door's always open if you want to talk. I know what it's like to... well, you know. Sota.

We did... but I never wanted...

Th-thank you.

Of course you didn't. I don't think anyone ever would.

You're welcome. That's what friends are for! Even though I'm not there, I'm giving you a big hug right now, okay? When you want to, I'll give you a real one. Just let me know.

[Slight sniffle, it sounds kinda gross, honestly -- yeah, he's been crying that hard.]

Tissues first.

[She gives a gentle laugh.]

Do you need some?

[If he still has a sense of humor, he might be okay. Ffff.]

If you don't want this on your shoulder, yes.

I don't mind. Clothes can be washed. But I'll find some and get them to you if you want me to come now.

Just... fair warning, Kagome.

[He's trying, he's really trying to make her smile. It just... isn't working. He sounds like something inside of him died.]

I'm on my way.

[She finds a box of tissue easily enough and heads to Al's room. The door is closed but there's something sitting in front of it. Curious, she leans down and picks up the pink stuffed rabbit, a note that says 'For Al-chan', and some cookies wrapped in saran wrap tied with string.]

Al? [Kagome knocks on the door once, then slips inside, closing it.] These were outside your door. And here's some tissues.

[She sets the box and the other things down next to him, handing him the note. It's from Honey. It reads:

Dear Al-chan,

Don't be sad! I miss Takashi too but I know he's okay! Here, you can borrow Usa-chan for as long as you want! He'll make you feel better! Just hug him really tight, you'll see! And here's aaaall the rest of my cookies! Thank you for teaching me how to bake them!

Honey]

[Al can't quite smile for her, but he does take a tissue and wipe himself off a bit, blinking to clear his eyes well enough to read the note. He manages a tiny chuckle through the tears, and wipes his eyes with the back of his hand.]

... Honey's letting me borrow his rabbit.

[He's... choked up, how sweet that is. Honey loves this rabbit a lot... and he loves sweets. He must be really worried. Al pauses, before hugging the soft toy to his chest, shutting his eyes.]

... how can I be so sad, when I have such wonderful friends...? [It's a whisper, almost to himself.]
