Heartbeat
They say that home is where the heart is--
"I'm so sorry, Kristoph, I really am, and you have no idea, you really, really don't. I wish everything was how it was before. I wish I was able to go back to the time where I trustdd you asnd didn't have to question my love for who you have become. I want you to come home. I really, really do, but I can't do anything about it, and soon, you'll be gone, and I just want to know... What can I do to make it up to you? Because I know this is my fault, and I need you to see how sorry I am, so please, tell me. Please, Kristoph, just tell me."
"There is nothing more you can do for me, Klavier."
--and it's such a shame, because not everyone's heart beats the same--
"Please don't take him away. He can change, and I can help him, I promise. I can't lose him. He's all I got and he's all I've ever truly had, so I'm begging you. Please, don't take him away. Kristoph doesn't deserve to die, and I don't deserve to cry over this. No one wants to visit their own brother's grave and have to pretend he's still alive and I'm no different. Please understand that I'm no different and that I want him to come home. So, please, save us both and don't watch him die with that sick, twisted smile on your face, because he... still means everything to me."
--and there are some who have hearts that don't beat at all.
