Re: World 1 - Redemption And Revenge
I'm sorry, he whispered lowly. When Eoin thanked him for that condolence, he was startled. He thought to himself that he hadn't been apologising to him, but to his sister. But he chose not to explain that.

Re: World 1 - Redemption And Revenge
What happened? he asked at last, the words feeling like he was choking on them as he forced them out. Haltingly, Eoin began to explain, as he could. He was stumbling on every other word.

She laughed at that, and then a brief silence fell. So where did you grow up? she asked, as the waiter poured their glasses of wine.

Keitaro listened, his shock growing with every word. His inability to heal her had made him think it'd been some ability blocking him, so what was going on? He couldn't even begin to understand it. But he understood, really, that trying to question it like this was just hiding, and nothing compared to the real and full truth. Rooreru was dead. His sister was gone, really gone, and she wasn't coming back.

"Actually here, in New York." Chrim answered. "How about you, where do you come from?"

Re: World 1 - Redemption And Revenge
As soon as he'd thought that, it hit him, so strongly that he was almost shaking. She was really gone...... she was really, truly gone. He'd never see her again. He'd have to go back and tell his parents that they'd lost their only daughter. Someone would have to tell his nephew, no more than a year old, that he'd never see his mother again.

Desolately, he handed Rooreru's body back to Eoin, before vanishing again. Back in Tokyo, he found that he'd arrived in the street outside, instead of inside the house. The subconscious reason for that struck him at once. He was evading.

Re: World 1 - Redemption And Revenge
Once he'd realised that, he forced himself inwards, forced himself to face that conversation. He found both his parents seated in the living room, and his mother raised her head as he entered, her gaze questioning. More than ever before he hated what he'd have to tell them.
What is it? she asked, her expression concerned. She'd been able to tell from his face that it was something troubling.
Rooreru... she's...... she's dead.

Re: World 1 - Redemption And Revenge
What?! she asked, immediately paling.
What happened?
Briefly, he tried explaining what he knew of what'd happened, the shooting and how he'd somehow failed to revive her. His mother looked distraught. Even their normally-unshakeable father seemed at a complete loss.

Re: World 1 - Redemption And Revenge
I think Eoin'll be bringing her back, soon, he concluded sorrowfully, shaking his head. Both of them still looked in shock. A part of him felt unfairly jealous of them, for that. It hadn't fully struck them yet, but it had struck him.

The man was silent, not understanding how to get aorund the fact that he actually had a cousin. He stopped speechless and then peeped out and said. "Come in."
David nodded and slowly walked in, admiring his home.

(I'd have asked for proof )
His father mentioned beginning to prepare a funeral, and at that, their mother began crying, sobbing into her hands as she turned to bury her face in her husband's shoulder. Keitaro merely stood there, not knowing what to say. What could he say? The only thing which'd help would be to take back what he'd revealed, and he couldn't do so.

Re: World 1 - Redemption And Revenge
Back on the island, Eoin was still sitting desolately by his wife's body, cradling her still form. He'd barely moved since Keitaro had left. The tears were silently pouring down his face, showing the outraged anguish which words couldn't voice, as he mentally replayed her death over and over.
"She's another of you freaks, isn't she"....... "She'd have to be, to be with you"
Again he'd see the expression on the man's face, the sheer hate, the sadistic smile as he realised a way to hurt him which would pain much more than killing him directly.

Re: World 1 - Redemption And Revenge
Gently he'd cradle her in his arms, whispering words she'd never hear. Never again. He'd closed her eyes, unable to bear her unseeing gaze on him any more. It seemed reproachful. She seemed to be imploring at him, asking why hadn't he saved her. Hadn't he wanted it enough? Hadn't his entire being been screaming for it?

Re: World 1 - Redemption And Revenge
That question haunted him. He could tell himself that it was absurd, but deep down, that was how his ability worked. Pure focus and willpower. So the question remained. Why had it failed? Why had he failed her?

Re: World 1 - Redemption And Revenge
I didn't want you to die, though, he whispered to her. His voice was choked on the tears. Really, I didn't..... I couldn't have. I loved you, Laurel.... still do. I don't know why I failed like that....

Re: World 1 - Redemption And Revenge
There was no answer. His words fell heavily onto the still air. His tears continued to fall down his face, one or two dripping down onto her. He made no movement to wipe them away. That would have been purposeless. And still his internal debate of self-blame and self-question continued.

Re: World 1 - Redemption And Revenge
The hours passed, without much change. Eoin was still sitting there holding Rooreru, unmoving. His tears were still falling unceasingly. He still felt like the man might as well have killed him too. But of course, that'd been the entire cruel intention.

Re: World 1 - Redemption And Revenge
It was the next day before he finally let her go, making arrangements to return home while her body would be flown back to Japan. He couldn't go there, not yet. He wouldn't be able to face her family again, admit how he'd failed them and failed her. He particularly couldn't face Aito again.

Re: World 1 - Redemption And Revenge
That was why he was now sitting alone in the window seat of a plane, and staring melancholily through the glass. His expression was stark and haunted, still, dissuading any from trying to talk to him. The memory was refusing to leave his mind. He kept replaying it with every second.
