015- [Action] Shell shocked...

[tuna_surprise]

[Following the news report about the executions, Seychelles ran to England's apartment, to discover that the report was no lie. He was gone... And for what? Accepting help? If she hadn't insisted on helping him, maybe it wouldn't have happened. She's just wandering the streets now, with a vacant, lost expression  on her face. No real destination in

...I know. They killed a lot of our friends. Needlessly. I'm sorry.

[It's hard to tell if she's really even listening to you, but she mumbles a response. She may be talking to herself.]

.....My fault. This is all my fault.

[mr_blandy_bland]

Seychelles...I'm...I'm sorry.

[tuna_surprise]

[She stares blankly for a few senonds, then throws herself forward, latching onto his shirt, and sobbing.]

He- He's gone and it's my fault. It's all my fault.

[mr_blandy_bland]

W-what? Why is it your fault? We had...no control over what happened.

[tuna_surprise]

Because I helped him. They killed him because he had help doing his job.

He- He didn't even want my help. But I-

[The rest of the sentence is choked off by sobs.]

[Hong Kong has just been been to his apartment too. Now he's wandering back to his apartment, but in the same aimless way, he's gone the wrong way a few times. He'd helped England with his job as well...

He spots the ther former colony after a while.]

...Seychelles.

[tuna_surprise]

Hong Kong.... It's- It's our fault isn't it? We helped him make that borscht.

[scentofbauhinia]

[There is a long pause as he considers how to answer her.]

...We did what anyone else would have done for someone they care about. How were we supposed to know?

[On the inside he feels just as wracked with guilt as Seychelles, but someone has to hold it together. It's what England, or indeed, China would expect from him.]

[tuna_surprise]

[Honestly she just can't take this for much longer. She's not even really listening.]

He didn't want my help and I argued with him. The last thing we did was fight.

I- I wanted to help him because I care about him, but he just...

[Uh-oh, that don't look good.]

"...What's up, kid?"

[tuna_surprise]

Coach...

[She just kind of stares for a moment. There are tears falling but she makes no move to wipe them away.]

I- They killed him. And it's m- my fault. It's all my fault!

[child_abuser]

"Slow down, slow down. Killed who?"

[Moves to hug her.]

[tuna_surprise]

......England. He was killed because... I helped him.
