68th Revolution: Jerk

[child_radical]

[Accidental Voice - You can hear Huey sniffing before the sound of his fist hitting a wall or something of the nature. As he speaks his normally calm voice begins to waver slightly.]

Why? You called me your little brother all the time.

[The boy sobs lightly for a minute or two before speaking barely above a whisper.]

You damn jerk...why didn't

Huey...

This stupid place just... keeps doing it.

[child_radical]

Umi...I'm alright, really...I'll be fine.

[soulofocean]

But you don't have to be fine right away, you know? You have every right to be angry and frustrated...

[child_radical]

I know...but what good is it going to do? He's gone and I'm still here.

I did nothing but be act like a smartass around him...

[soulofocean]

It'll help if you vent a little, trust me. I've been there just a couple of days ago.

2/2

[soulofocean]

You... never really get to say all you want to say to the people you care about, I think. But I'm sure he knew that you cared anyway.

[child_radical]

Probably...

I think I'll just go to the dojo for the rest of the day.

[soulofocean]

Sounds like a good start.

Do you need a sparring partner?

[child_radical]

...I'd be fine with you coming along.

[soulofocean]

It's better than smashing mutant crabs in a video game, I guess...

[child_radical]

Or having to deal with a crowded room.

[soulofocean]

Right.

Look, Huey: I can't speak for Tsurugi, but... when we stormed that flying fortress he was really, REALLY mad and worried about you. So...

[child_radical]

I knew he was mad...just not as mad as how you're saying.

[soulofocean]

If you mean he was... um, special... He was a great friend.

But why are we talking like this?? He may even come back!

[child_radical]

Yeah, but he might not return with his memory intact.
