      ❝ ELISE, DON’T WORRY. ❜ The tome strays to his side, the pages flipping over, UNATTENDED; his hands, instead, fall gently ON HIS LITTLE SISTER’S splotchy cheeks, gently caressing FRAGILE WARMTH. He tries to COMFORT HER though he can hardly comfort himself, the lies BURNING LIKE BILE atop his tongue as he says them, but maybe, MAYBE he’d learn to believe them, as it was the only hope they had. 

     The EXPRESSION ON HIS SISTER’S FACE continues to work away at his heart; hairline cracks PERMEATING ONCE STRONG ARMOR. How could Kamui do this to them? ❝ KAMUI WILL COME BACK TO US, THEY BELONG HERE. ❜
