Sixth Firefly - [Voice]/[Action]

[Voice]

[Lately all Seto can think about is home, probably because he has nothing better to do when laying in his bed.  Images of what's left of the cities and small villages flash through his mind.  Everything is so dominated by the wildlife he has no idea what it could have been like for those who lived there before...whatever happened to his

[It seemed like a really nice night out, so Nagisa decided to hold off on going to bed and enjoy the scenery. While looking up at the sky, she happened to notice a figure laying on the roof. And a rather familiar-looking figure, at that. She waits a moment for her eyes to adjust to the darkness, and then finally notices who it is. She speaks up enough for him to hear her, trying not to be too loud and wake people up.]

...Seto? Is that you?

[Action!]

[repeatsyearly]

[Nagisa notices the quietness and frowns. A-ahh... did she say something wrong?] U-um... I-I'm sorry.

[Action!]

[presumablyalone]

[He blinks at the sudden apology and instantly feels bad] W-What are you apologizing for??

[Action!]

[repeatsyearly]

O-oh, well, you seemed disappointed, s-so... [..awkward. Now she feels slightly embarrassed. Umm.]

[Action!]

[presumablyalone]

O-Oh! W-Well I just wish I could see something like that back home one day, that's all. [Not that it'll happen but he has hopes]

[Action!] I'm so going to regret bringing this up.

[repeatsyearly]

Oh... um, if you don't mind me asking, where are you from, Seto? What's your home like?

[Action!] yes, yes you are

[presumablyalone]

[Okay, now he's going to go quite again Nagisa. Should he tell her the truth or tell her a lie...? He doesn't want her to be sad for his sake but he doesn't want to lie to her of all people. They're friends...]

It's...empty. [Good enough description right?]

[Action!] even more so.

[repeatsyearly]

[Nope. Not quite. Nagisa's still curious. Worried now, but curious.]

...Empty?

[Action!] sadface

[presumablyalone]

Y-Yeah...

[How to put this delicately....is there a way to do such a thing when his world is as it is?] There aren't...any people around anymore... [Better than saying that they're flat out dead]

[Action!]

[repeatsyearly]

[Nagisa just goes quiet, unsure of what to say. No people around? What happened? Did they leave? Are they... dead? She's not sure if she should even press on about this. So all she can think of to say is-]

I-I see...

[Action!]

[presumablyalone]

[Seto flusters a little and tries his best to smile for her. C'mon, don't frown or anything now Nagisa!]

B-But I had my grandfather so it wasn't all too lonely...[Even though it really was]

[Action!]

[repeatsyearly]

[...Just one person other than himself?]

...O-oh... T-then that's good, at least. I'm glad you weren't too lonely.

[Action!]

[presumablyalone]

U-Uh huh!

[At this point though he just lets the smile fade slowly as his eyes begin to burn with that feeling like he's going to cry. Which if Nagisa can catch it, his eyes are watering so he quickly puts an arm over his eyes and forces a smile, his voice shaking]

I-I wasn't lonely at all..

[Action!]

[repeatsyearly]

[She doesn't notice his watering eyes, but she does look at him when he covers his eyes with his arm. The voice shaking is noted as well. She tries to move her head to where she may be able to see his arm-covered face but... that doesn't really work, of course.]

...Seto..?

[Action!]

[presumablyalone]

[Seto moves his arms but still covers his eyes as he starts to rub them with his hands though a few stray tears may roll down the sides of his face as he bites his lip]

[Action!]

[repeatsyearly]

[Then she sees it. O-oh god... did she say something wrong? Well, more importantly, did she upset him? Make him cry...?]

...I-I'm sorry...
