I.. I'm not giving up on you. I told you no.

I-I'm not gonna stop.. I'm not gonna stop.

[ There's a hollow "thunk" sound as Minato's knees hit the pavement, and a clattering of steel against the road, then shoes scuffling as Minato gets back up and continues moving. ]

((OOC- He's been awake for 3 days people. Walking. Running. Searching.))

Give it up. You can't win 'em all.

[purgatory_maren]

No! .. No. You don't even know.. I told him I wouldn't!

[prodigal_axe]

You're being just like him right now. Rushing into something, not looking at it straight, following it to whatever end.

Look where that got him.

He thinks you don't even give a shit! He thinks he's protecting us- I'm trying to protect him- Ah! *hiss*

... He doesn't feel like he's our family.. but if he wants to be a part of one he needs to know families do not quit on one another.

.. He thinks he doesn't have that.. He's wrong. Have to show him..

[speakofthedead]

Stubborn, I see.

Just what has your attention that is so dire?

[purgatory_maren]

Akihiko.. That woman.. I fucking promised-

[speakofthedead]

Concerning that gentleman and the accidental death? Unfortunate.

[mrbaseballfan]

What happened?

[purgatory_maren]

I have to find him..

[mrbaseballfan]

Find who? Is someone in danger?

[purgatory_maren]

A-aki.. Akihiko..

[stupei_iori]

Dude, we're gonna find him.

There's no way that bitch can keep him, man. Akihiko-san wouldn't ditch us... I mean, he's been fighting along with us from the start!

{Voice, Japanese}

[purgatory_maren]

I .. I know he wouldn't. But she's w-warping him.. I told him I-

...

Junpei.. I'm so tired..

[ Voice, Japanese ]

[stupei_iori]

... I dunno what the hell he's doing with her... Dammit.

You gonna be okay, man?

[ Voice, Japanese ]

[purgatory_maren]

I'm just.. I'm so tired..
-I'm fine. Everything is fine- I have to keep moving.
