5 [Dream]

[proudfist]

[Kazuma is trudging across the hard-packed sands of the Lost Ground, carrying the too-still figure of another young man on his back. As he walks, his thoughts endlessly chase themselves...]

[It takes a moment, but Ryuho recognizes the lost ground, it's not hard to guess who this dream belongs to. He's dressed as he was when he wandered this desert alone; the old cloak and filthy bandages on his arms.]

[Oh, it's that guy.]

[proudfist]

[When he sees Ryuho, he stops in his tracks, scowling.]

...You. This is your fault!

[Deadpan]

This is your dream. I don't know that man.

[proudfist]

Dream? What the hell're you talking about? Kimishima's dead, and that ain't no dream--and even if you didn't pull the trigger, it's still your fault!

[Kanami hasn't really been one for letting herself feel sad/defeated for too long, but the memories of Kazuma coming back with Kimishima's body always scared her. She just starts to shake seeing him, trying not to cry, but it's no use.]

K-Kimishima-san....

[proudfist]

[Unlike the first time, Kazuma is aware that Kimishima's dead--or perhaps just not in denial about it. He staggers toward her, the body seems to be weighing him down more than expected.]

I'm sorry, Kanami... I couldn't save him.

[alterdreveries]

[She just collapsed to the ground, shaking a little as she started to cry.]

K-Kazu-kun... He can't... he can't be dead!

[proudfist]

[He falls to his knees in front of her.]

I'm sorry... I didn't even know he was hurt 'til after... He was shot coming for me--and he never said a word about it.
