Warning: Might Be Triggering for Child Abuse
Faces of colored glass watch the world as it passes quietly by in a lonely church. Empty. Forgotten. The candles have all burned out on their wicks and the only light is that of the moon tumbling through that very glass in hues of every color. They make pools on the floor and gems on the wall and through

But then he sees Yoite. And... Sora.
He's heard from Raikou, a little, about the whole situation where people turned into children, before he got here. But the sheer distance between Yoite and Sora isn't something he has fully understood, until now.
Sora. Yoite.
Which one had been holding onto him, when he touched Yoite? Had they both? Is it really Sora that he... loves?
No.
He loves them both, even if he hadn't truly known of Sora's existence. Because he loves every part of the strange boy that he claimed as family, names aside.
...and Yoite thought that he didn't deserve that. Thought that Gau would...]

His voice is a whisper.]
I don't accept gifts back, and I doubt that Raikou would either. You're stuck with a birthday and a name.
[There's a slight shake to his voice, a quiver to his lips. Because all he wants it to beg some more. 'Come back home' over and over, as if it could make Yoite do so.]

Gau had seen him. There was no way Gau could have watched that dream without seeing him.
This wasn't like when Lelouch had seen Sora, when Yoite's mind had completely gone missing. Yoite had been very much present when that child cracked his way back in this time.
But there would be no calls. No threats to Gau telling him to forget Sora or else like he had done with the others. Because as his fear and rage swelled to its height he heard those words. I love you
It is then he realizes what it is he is now holding.
Gau's face. Gau's voice. Recorded in a way that Yoite can keep it nearby at all times. Saying words that, whether or not he could let himself believe them, made his heart race.
With a shaky thumb he replayed the message. Then again. And a third time before hugging the device to his chest. Gau-san was inside it ]
