002. ♘ Kiryuu Zero || [Accidental Video]

[leashed_hunter]

[His back hits the wall, and he falls on the ground, his NV slipping out of his pocket, hitting the floor and sliding away from him. The Ex-Human clutches his chest, hand shaking as his tattoo begins to glow.]

Nn---!

[His hand immediately dives into his jacket, pulling out a silver case only to have it fall out of his shaking hand.

It'd been too long

[elderyouth]

[since others had already asked about him, and Toboe's eyes had gone to the silver,]

I-is your stuff alright, mister...?

[leashed_hunter]

[By the time, the boy responded, Zero's hand had already found the elusive metal case. Without a word, he slid the top open and shook out a handful of tablets directly into his mouth.

The pills did their work, and helped calm him down. His hand fell to the ground, letting the metal case slid out of his palm, as he regulated his breathing.]

...

[Another strange voice.]

[elderyouth]

[... okay. that had to be a yes. his nose twitches over what the tablets look like, but --]

Those are supposed to help, right? Why'd you wait so long?

[leashed_hunter]

[He exhaled slowly, as he caught his breath, and closed his eyes.]

Yeah.

[His chest began to rise and fall slower than the quick pace from before.]

Not enough.

[elderyouth]

-- ... Oh! Oh!

Uh - where can you get more? Do you know? Or have you not found any here?

[leashed_hunter]

There's no more.

[elderyouth]

In your case, maybe, but there's got to be some in the city. They have everything.

[leashed_hunter]

Not this.

[elderyouth]

What is it?

[leashed_hunter]

...

Who are you?

[elderyouth]

- Huh?

I'm Toboe.

[leashed_hunter]

[He opened his eyes, silver orbs falling across the NV as he inspected the boy.]

Where are your guardians?

[elderyouth]

My...

[a blink, then dawning realization - which just makes him frown.]

That doesn't actually have anything to do with helping you! And it sounds really serious!

[leashed_hunter]

I didn't ask for help.

[elderyouth]

You aren't the type to...

But something bad happens if you don't get enough of those things, right?

[leashed_hunter]

...

I'll take care of it.
