[Ky is sitting in his armchair. His elbows are resting on his knees, and his forehead is resting against his clasped hands. He isn't moving, aside from his breathing.

He wasn't here when it happened, but word spreads all too quickly in this town. At this point in time, his mind is in turmoil. He has no idea what to think.]

-She hadn't left for Reisen's house just yet... she owed him an explanation at the very least. But finding the words...-

[sacred_thunder]

[A faint whisper.]

Why?

[hop_toit_udonge]

... She asked me to.

[sacred_thunder]

...I...understand that...

[hop_toit_udonge]

... Put yourself in her position. In my position. What would you have done, Ky?

[sacred_thunder]

If she'd waited... If I'd had more time, I...

[hop_toit_udonge]

We are not allowed those conveniences.

*falls silent, having nothing else to say that he can think of*

-No sense in resisting it. She steps up to him quickly, wrapping her arms tightly about his shoulders. She can't fight the tears any longer...-

[sacred_thunder]

[Ky is completely and totally caught off-guard. He had expected Minatsuki to be just another statistic to her, after what she told him of her past. But that one act completely purged that possibility from his mind. He slowly wrapped his arms around her.]

...I'm sorry...I have no idea how you must have felt...

[hop_toit_udonge]

-She just cried. It should have been easy. It really SHOULD have been just another statistic. But she couldn't ignore how things had become. She couldn't ignore her feelings...-

Sorry if this appears twice, I think LJ ate my comment

[sacred_thunder]

[A faint whisper.]

Why?
