fifth rising sun ☀ video post

[soloriens]

[It seems Amaterasu here has woken from her long slumber and is in her human appearance no less. She's settled back into her room but.. she looks a tad.. dirty, almost as if someone tried to cover her in dirt. Though she either doesn't seem aware of it, that or care for it.

There's a sorrowful expression on her face, wolf ears upon the top of her

[He pauses, looking into the screen, that warmth he somehow always felt with Amaterasu paled in comparison to the rage..the vengeance in his heart. His red eyes were dark as he peered into the screen, trying to give one of his half-smiles to his friend but he just---]

Ammy..--you're..--

So you're back, huh?

[soloriens]

Haseo.. I am. [Her ears perk, looking into the feed with searching eyes.

Immediately, she can sense something is different. Her gaze looks concerned.]

..Are you alright?

[ofredemption]

[he inwardly cringed. it felt..wrong. just talking to her and having such dark thoughts on his mind. right now all he wanted was to find the person who hurt one of his closest friends here and rip them to shreds. to become an actual Terror of Death, hellbent on revenge again.

--he had faced the idea of comas..but not death. and her body..--

he took a breath, a faint shudder. he looked away. at something. anything.]

...Something happened. [his voice was flat, not even carrying that wry sort of softness laced with his words.]

[soloriens]

[If you come to mommy, she'll help relieve all those dark thoughts and seek of revenge. The Sun Goddess and Mother of All will comfort you and put you at ease.

Her gaze never shifts, keeping close to the Dreamberry as though he were there instead.] Something..?

[ofredemption]

[he shut his eyes tightly, teeth gritted. ]

....My friend. She's--[First losing Atoli, but not Isabelle--not like this. His voice comes out ragged, raw:]

She's dead.

[soloriens]

[The words weren't what she was expecting. Ears pressed back, tail resting still along her.

At first, she didn't know what to say except:] Haseo, I'm sorry.. to hear that..

[She's only seen one death here before, someone she had met briefly during the whole town turning into sweets. But.. if Haseo had been good friends with this girl, it was definitely harder on him.]

[ofredemption]

..I couldn't protect her. We always talked about watching each other's backs, but in the end--. .

[his voice is dull, lifeless]
Once again, I couldn't save anyone. [takes a breath, sharp and hurt and in pain--] It's just like before!

[soloriens]

Haseo, you shouldn't blame yourself, nothing good comes out of beating yourself over it.

[There's a frown on her face, though she mostly looks concerned.]

..She wouldn't want you to.

[ofredemption]

H-How can you say that?! You didn't see her body it was--[grits his teeth] It was all smashed up and--

I'm going to find the bastard who did this!

[soloriens]

[Ears press back at the sudden lash, but she doesn't blame him one bit.

However, there is something she can say.] Please be careful.

[She wishes she was awake earlier to have helped but..] If you were to get hurt yourself, not only will that not help her.. you'll be hurting others too.

2/2

[ofredemption]

..I know, that. Damn it..
At least I don't have to keep an extra eye on you, Ammy. [almost bitter chuckle]

[soloriens]

[Her eyes rest to a close.]

..Please don't cease to contact me for anything, Haseo. [She cares about you, pup.]

[ofredemption]

[he looks up, looking vulnerable, just like a little kid at that minute, terrified of losing his friends. his red eyes are tired and sad]

..Yeah. I know, Amaterasu. [he wants to choke something out--but all he can manage is a weak-thank you]

Thanks.

[soloriens]

[She wants to embrace him close, gently run fingers through his hair like a mother comforting her child from any bad nightmares and fear of the monster in the closet.

But the closest she can get is to rest a hand near the screen, concerned eyes not moving from his face.]

No need to thank me, I'm here for you.

[ofredemption]

[he just tries to smile, but he can't. he's tired of this. ]

. . Yeah. I know. [averting his eyes, he turns off the feed. i'm sorry, mommu. :'(]
