Fifth Firefly - [voice]

[presumablyalone]

[I hurt...I tire...and I collapse.

When I'm staring into the darkness...I find myself somehow entranced by it.

Suddenly I hear laughter.  Fearless, mean...and yet kind....it calls to me.

The days we spent together are long gone, drifting away like clouds in the breeze.  Even though memories are often fleeting.

All I need to do is close my eyes and your

[Hearing Seto's sniffing worried Nagisa. Was he crying? It sure seemed like it. At first, she didn't say anything. When he finally spoke though, she realized what it could've been. Could this have been what Minako was talking about? How people can leave? Concerned Nagisa is concerned.]

...Seto?

[Action]

[repeatsyearly]

[She nods.] Yes, I'm sure. So don't worry about it! I just want you to feel better.

[She then glances around the room a bit.]

Umm... Is it safe here?

[Action]

[presumablyalone]

Okay...

[He nods a little and takes Nagisa's hand, leading her into the dining room to sit down.] It's safe here so you don't have to worry. I won't let you get hurt if it does get dangerous.

[And so she takes a seat.]

O-okay. Thank you. But... what about you? I don't want you getting hurt either.

I'll be fine! I have a sword so I can protect us both if something shows up.

[He gestures to the sword next to him, leaning against the chair]

[Action]

[repeatsyearly]

O-oh, okay.

[She just kind of stares at the sword for a bit. She's never really seen a sword, so it's rather odd to now. But reassuring in a way, too.]

So... um. How are you feeling, Seto...?

[An obvious question, really. But she just wanted to see if he was feeling any better since they were talking over the journals. Even slightly.]

[Action]

[presumablyalone]

[Seto takes a moment to think about that. Ever since he left his room, it feels like a huge weight has been lifted off his shoulders. Not to mention Nagisa coming to see him makes him feel better too.

So he gives her a soft smile] Better than earlier...still sad though...

[His frown returns as he looks down at the ring on his finger, rubbing it gently with his thumb. Crow is always with him]

[Action]

[repeatsyearly]

[Knowing that he at least feels a little better makes her return the smile. Upon seeing his frown returning though, she decides to stand back up and make her way over to Seto. She then puts her arms around him, embracing him in a comforting hug.]

It'll be okay.

[Action]

[presumablyalone]

[When she moves, he looks away from the ring and stares at her curiously. The sudden hug throws him off too so he stands there, completely still. That is until he gives a small hiccup as the tears well up in his eyes. Why is she being so nice? She's like Ange...so warm and kind.

He hesitantly wraps his own arms around her and just lets the tears flow over, hiding his face in her shoulder. Hope you don't mind, Nagisa.]

[Action]

[repeatsyearly]

[It's okay, she doesn't mind. At least Seto's letting it all out, she thinks. Though, seeing Seto cry makes her almost feel like crying as well. So she just says nothing in an attempt to hold the tears back and continues to hold him, occasionally rubbing and/or patting his back while doing so.

Nagisa can only imagine how Seto feels right now. If Tomoya, or even Seto, happened to disappear, she'd probably be in the same state that he is in now. She can only hope that they both stay so it wouldn't happen, and that it won't happen again to Seto. ...Or anyone else, for that matter. The thought is rather upsetting though, so she tries to dismiss it altogether and just focuses on cheering Seto up.]

[His grip on the smaller girl's shirt tightens a little but he quickly relaxes so he doesn't hurt her or anything. It makes him happy that someone is comforting him like this...he's never actually had someone do this before other than Ange and she's gone now too...Luceti is so cruel. Please, don't let them take Nagisa away.

But he soon takes a shaky breath and hesitantly lets go of the other, sniffling and rubbing his eyes] I-I'm sorry...

[Action]

[repeatsyearly]

[Noticing that Seto let go, Nagisa does as well.]

It's okay. There's no need for you to apologize. Just try to feel better! I-I don't like seeing you upset... [8C]

[Action]

[presumablyalone]

O-Okay! I'm sorry...

[He's Emil's twin, can you tell? He pulls off a smile though he's still crying a little] I promise I'll get better.
