Guy, after having realized that Luke was also gone, hadn't wanted to be around anyone. He felt guilty, like it was his fault, yet again, that Luke had disappeared. He'd been more upset when Saber disappeared than when Luke had, and now it seemed as if Luke had gotten back at him by disappearing again. In the rational part of his mind, Guy knew that this wasn't the case, but that didn't mean it didn't hurt.
Nevertheless, Guy wanted to remain close to what remained in Somarium of his best friend, and that was the boy's belongings in their loft apartment. So he'd laid down on Luke's futon, taking in the scents Luke had left behind, and had fallen asleep.
And he hadn't woken up.
To anyone who had seen Guy's normal sprawl, they would know that something wasn't right, because Guy was curled up in a ball, clutching Luke's pillow. His dreamberry lay on his own futon, and the roomba puttered around randomly, cleaning the floor.
Tear walked into the Dojo, realizing how big it was. It would take a while to find him, but she did not see the young man downstairs. She looked around there first, the rooms that were on the first floor and she even peeked at some corners, but she found no one
( ... )
Guy didn't respond. For years, he'd been a light sleeper, having had to wake at the slightest sound, and sleep while listening for a soft knock on his bedroom door, of a small red-head needing comfort after a nightmare.
More recently, he'd had to sleep light, because if the person on watch called out, he'd have to be ready to fight at a moment's notice, while they were traveling, and under threat of attack at any time.
But, regardless of Tear's touch and words, Guy did not even stir.
The maiden shook him a bit harder, but it didn't seem like he was going to wake up soon. Tear was definitely worried now. The thought of Guy not waking up was already bad enough. If he was in the same situation as the Colonel as Dist seemed to be completely uneasy about, she assumed the same for Guy. She knew he was easily awaken. After all, those nights they spent outside, and the ears they kept opened for any sign of danger.
Right now, even the thought of Guy being a light sleeper was not right. Something was definitely wrong. Was he injured? She could only assume the worst. There had been no explanation for any of this She did call his name a few more times, but silence ensued and no one answered back. He was truly in some condition she wasn't pleased about. The thought of leaving now, seemed impossible. He could be prone to danger. She didn't trust this world, at least not a lot.
"I can't leave him here," she whispered under her breath.
