[Accidental Video;]

[The video function is hazy at first, as if dropped unceremoniously on the ground. It only becomes clearer after a few moments and it shows a young man with chestnut hair almost dumped in an undignified heap on the edge of the fountain. Blood's dripping from his open wounds as the flowing water from the fountain soaks him a bit

[ At first, Tyr thinks this can only be a trick of the device, showing a memory of his. The strain of Ted's voice, the blood spilling from his wounds, the sound of water... ]

[ He breaks himself out of the shock in what only feels like a long time to him. He doesn't bother replying by the device - being confused over the source is just what Ted would need now - and just heads out of the apartment with his cloak in his arms.

The one thing Tyr could be thankful for now is he didn't need to worry about slipping on ice as he dashed to the fountain. Part of him still wondered if this might just be another elaborate, City-made illusion, but he was going to act like he didn't have that doubt. Spotting Ted, at the fountain finally, Tyr didn't waste time picking him up in his arms with the cloak around him. He feels so warm... ]

Ted, I... [ He doesn't have any words. Couldn't he have come from a time when they were happy? ] You'll be okay...

[The sudden movement had him fluttering his eyes gradually open. He would know that voice practically anywhere. Did he arrive in the McDohl residence? Why does he feel like water's getting sprinkled at him? --All this questions didn't receive any answers with how disoriented he is. He just knows he's okay now.

Tyr doesn't even have to tell him. His presence is enough.] Nnghh... Tyr?

[ He nods, still at a loss for words. ] That's right... [ If there's one thing Tyr thinks now he should have remembered before running off to be the hero, it's that Tyr isn't big enough to just carry Ted off, and Ted's condition isn't suited to anything Tyr can do.

But at least Ted isn't alone.

Being as careful as he can - and he doesn't think there's a safe spot to touch on him - Tyr tries to pick him up with both arms. His voice betrays his heartbreak even while he tries to play strong. ] Hold onto me, Ted. I... My friend can help you...
