[... there was blood, and his eyes were glassy, something in his throat, why wasn't he blinking? Why wasn't he moving, why wasn't --

Nothing of the rest seems to stick. Rhode's words don't really make sense to him. Everything is one high rushing noise.

Doesn't make sense. So quick. He'd just seen him. There was supposed to be a fight. Blood. He was supposed to save him he was supposed to be given a chance to fight to see to protect to win he wasn't supposed to be broken on the ground with-

[There's something in Al's eyes, something not quite right, not quite THERE, but he's still functioning, still moving, still... thinking.]

[dreams_are_mine]

[heavenly_earth]

I'm assured that you don't have an explanation.

[bunny_flower]

[Those are tears in his eyes. Angry tears, to be sure, but tears. Negi. Negi, his partner. His first and only real friend. The guy who gave him a home, a family, a life.

She just broke him, didn't give him a chance.]

You fuckin' coward.

Enough, Rhode.
