Fourteenth Star [Voice; English]

I...I saw him...He was as real as you and me and...and...

NO! IT WAS IMPOSSIBLE! YOU KILLED HIM AND HE'S NEVER COMING BACK! YOU DESTROYED HIM AND EVERYTHING HE STOOD FOR!

Why...why did it have to be you? Why...Father...

[Voice; Japanese]
...Kazuki, could you...come help me? I'm cold...

(( ooc: Tir saw his father, Teo, as a result of the event. Tir had killed Teo with the Souleater Rune during the war, and his tremendous guilt over this was one of the major shifting points of his character in the game. That was when he decided he would distance himself from others in fear of destroying them. So yeah, he's a bit out of sorts. Also, he's slowly turning into a Tir-sicle outside Latimir in one of the alleyways ))

Tir? Tir, where are you?

Kazuki?

...I...I don't know

Try and calm down for a second, okay? Look at where you are. I'm right here.

...where...where? My head hurts...so much

Tir, stay where you are. I'm going to look around for you.

...It's snowing...it didn't snow often back home.

Tir...

Tir, what happened?

[He's worried out of his mind right now, between Sakura and Tir. The sound of his footsteps going down the stairs echo in the communicator.]

I was going to go get some food, and...my hand started hurting...

Your hand... Soul Eater?

Yes...and then he appeared.

My father.

...Oh.

People have been seeing weird things lately. I think it might just be Discedo.

I know...Souleater says it wasn't him...but he still laughed...and...

Kazuki...please come soon. I don't want to be alone anymore...

...It talks?

O-oh, don't worry, I'm coming!

I think...I think I'm just outside Latimir's walls...it feels familiar as I go toward the street.

Okay. Don't move too far from where you are, I'll find you.

[He's checking around the building as it is]

There sits Tir, dusted in snow and shivering profusely. His vision is distant, and he still seems shaken by the entire experience.

Kazuki turns the corner and sees him, and feels a a wave of relief. At least this one, he can find.

"Tir," he calls out gently, and jogs up, kneeling down and taking off his jacket to cover his friend with, "Tir, you're freezing. You're gonna catch a cold like this..."

"It...it wasn't real...Kazuki...it couldn't have been," Tir spoke almost breathlessly, moving closer to him as if by instinct.

"He's dead and never coming back...the dead aren't supposed to come back," he said again, letting out a strong shiver that clattered his teeth.

He personally had never lost someone that important to him before. He couldn't empathize, and he knew it. And it hurt.

"No..." Kazuki murmured, and reached up to brush some of the snow out of Tir's hair affectionately, "No, they don't. You were just seeing things."

Just seeing things...

"Kazuki...I haven't cried since that day," Tir said, his voice weak and strained. He knew why he was saying that...because right now, in the warmth of Kazuki's presence, that was all he felt like doing.

"Yeah," he said, and gently wrapped his arms around Tir, under the jacket he had placed over his shoulders. It would be warmer that way. "That's okay."

Kazuki didn't say anything more. He looked away.

The tears had already started to flow before Tir pressed his face against Kazuki's chest. They came like a torrent, held back for three years of putting off the grieving process. He never had time to mourn his father...and once the war was over, he couldn't find his way past the guilt to do so.

But here and now, it all came at once, and all he could do was silently scream into Kazuki's shirt. Tears, cries, and shivers not from cold but from the sheer weight of his emotion...all flooded out of him at once.

He felt terrible, horrible, miserable. There was nothing he could do but sit there and let him cry. He had no idea what it felt like.

But he had saw him fall.

Make that little jerking step as he was stabbed, shot? He wasn't sure. Falter a little, open his mouth, but say nothing. Choke on his own blood. Pupils dilate in shock. Stumble on to his hands and knees for a moment, before falling to to his side. Go completely still.

It wasn't a dream, because he had never fallen asleep. Other people had seen people from their real worlds, or something else... Was it just a bad vision? Did it mean anything?

Kazuki held him a little tighter.

Tir continued his outpouring for what felt like far longer than it actually was. Maybe it was just the magnitude of the moment that made it feel so stretched out. He could barely feel his face anymore by the time he finally looked up to Kazuki.

His face was red, and his eyes were swollen. He looked a mess.

Kazuki smiled a little for him, even if it was only out of pity. It was harder to do than he thought. He wiped off Tir's face a little with the end of his sleeve, he couldn't stand to see him look like that.

"Let's go back home, okay?" he said, and stood up, offering Tir his hand, "you need to warm up."

Tir nodded, not having a voice for speaking at the moment. He took the hand firmly, his glove a bit wet from the snow, and pulled himself up. He was glad the vision was finally over, and yet...

"Kazuki," he squeaked, his voice far gone. "Did you...did you see anything?"

He froze while he was turning around, not expecting to asked about that so soon. In hindsight, it was a good thing that his back was to Tir, that way he couldn't see his face.

"I, um..." Kazuki stammered, trying his best to maintain his composure. He couldn't afford to break down right now, "I... I'm sorry. I can't tell you."

Tir took the words in...and slowly...he nodded. Not that Kazuki could see that. But it was his reaction to it all...he understood that. He couldn't pry...a lot of people had been hurt lately by what they had seen. Kazuki...he was no exception.

Tir couldn't help but feel a little selfish, though.

"Let's go home, Kazuki," he spoke softly, walking up beside the other and giving him a soft smile. Gently, he took his hand...

Thank you, he thought in relief, but felt that it was best left unspoken. Kazuki held his hand back, and leaned in a little to nuzzle him reassuringly. He searched hard for a smile, and managed an equally small one in return.

When he finished, he tugged on Tir's hand as a signal for them to go. He had to get him inside and warmed up... And check on the situation with Sakura-chan.
