[Kadaj is sat on the floor, with a blond head resting on his lap. It's Liquid- and Liquid is lying very, very still. The Remnant isn't looking at the camera, and his expression is twisted with pain and anger and a strange kind of calm, like a bomb about to explode.]

Liquid died. I told him he would be next, but he said he wouldn't. He promised he

Maybe. But nobody else is coming back.

[Yaha and Shinji had died but not returned. So many others had gone missing and never come back. That's just how things were here, Kadaj had learned. Everyone left sooner or later.]

[argentcruelty]

[Back home? A pause, and a frown.]

Who are you?

N... no...

What happened?!

[argentcruelty]

I don't know. We were fighting, and then he died.

[Because that doesn't sound bad at all. Kadaj has an idea of what had killed Liquid, though... Not that he'd ever really understood it when Liquid explained.]

Call a doctor or something! Someone could still revive him! Don't just sit there! [Oh yeah, there are tears gathering in his eyes.]

[argentcruelty]

What's the point? He's already dead.

[Reaction]

[omnomspecimens]

[No words, man. No words.]

[gamuzadeclares]

How did he die?

[Video]

[argentcruelty]

I don't know. [Oh, he's going to get tired of that question fast.]

[Video]

[gamuzadeclares]

Do you need anything?

[Because she knows how volatile he is, and the best way she can honour Liquid's memory is to look out for his brothers.]

[Video]

[argentcruelty]

No. [The only thing he needs right now is to raze this city to the ground.] Nothing you can do.

[Action.]

[argentallure]

[Everyone is disappearing.

Yazoo isn't sure how he feels about this. Liquid is... Liquid is suppose be here. Liquid needs to be there to annoy him and fight him and tell him things others would not think to when Yazoo needs them most. And Kadaj...

Kadaj relied on him more.

What are they going to do?

He approaches quietly, moving to kneel beside Kadaj, gaze heavy on the figure- (Body, he thinks clinically.) that the other won't let go of.]

Brother...

[He doesn't give any indication if the words are for Kadaj, or for Liquid.]

[argentcruelty]

[It's only the second time in his too-short life that Kadaj has cried. But those tears have already dried, had done even before he'd made the post on the network. Now the tumultuous emotions had settled into a strange kind of numbness, seething anger, and a deep, unfathomable pain. He's curled over Liquid's body as though to protect it, and it's clear that he has no intention of leaving it there.]

He promised.

[argentallure]

I know.

[Yazoo's hand reaches out to brush just over Liquid, not touching him, no- leather encased fingers close, but not intruding. He does not know what his brother would do at the intrusion.

So instead he stays close, there and there open in mind. Because that was the only thing he can do right now.]

...It is this place. The Pull again. [The pull that had made them leave Kadaj before, it was this place's fault. His frustration filters between them, small but there.]
