[Oh.

Oh.

Well. This is interesting.]

I don't think anyone else can answer that question for you.

[substrictus]

...You're right.

It's not something I should expect anyone else to answer but myself.

[Oz's tone is a bit bitter within those words as he raises a hand to rub at his scuffed cheek. If Vincent looks closely at him, he might note the slight way his body shakes a bit.

He's still trying to forget what he'd done just a few moments prior]

[nightraysewerat]

Exactly. I think you're the only one who fully understands your own failure.

[Failure it is, isn't it? Quite a failure. Vincent does wonder exactly what happened, but he won't ask, exactly.]

[substrictus]

Yeah.

That's right. I need to... otherwise it might happen again and I don't want that here..

[purethingsonly]

...B-brother...?

[Her voice is small... timid... worried. Her brother seemed... disturbed yet again. Just one more thing that seemed to be going right over her head. How pitiful. Why... did it feel like her brother was going further and further away from her...? And she didn't understand any of it.]

[substrictus]

[The sound of his sister's voice is enough to shake him from his thoughts, jumping a bit before he turned his gaze to her]

A-Ada!

I... Are you alright?

[He was more focused on her than his own mindset honestly.]

[purethingsonly]

Of course I'm alright...

[That wasn't even a question. He was the one acting strange again.]

Are you...?

[substrictus]

...Not really.

I did something horrible, Ada..
