4th pulse [Voice]

[heartstoppingly]

[For a long while there's nothing but silence on the other end of this voice feed. Then Rolo whispers softly...]

... he's gone...

What... am I supposed to do without him?

[For he is now completely lost without his older brother. He does want to be free but for one who's obeyed orders all his life... Free will is rather frightening now that he has it.]

You said my future was with you but now you're gone, what am I to do? ... nii-san...

[Rin nods and hangs up, heading out the door as fast as he can.

Soon enough, there's a knocking at the door.]

[he opens it a while later and let him in

he's not really sure what he's supposed to do though...]

[Rin doesn't really know either. He just knows that when he was in that situation, as upset and distant at he was he really didn't want to be alone, either.

But he doesn't think giving Rolo a hug is alright, since they don't know each other all that well, but he does at least go for a comforting hand on the shoulder.]

I'unno how much it's gonna help but... I'll stick around as long as you want me to, okay?

[Rolo looks up a bit at that. He kind of wants to cry but somehow the tears won't come. It's almost as if he doesn't know how to cry.

He nods then is silent for a long while...]

... is it... alright to cry...?

action

[keepsthefire]

I... think it is, yeah...

[Rin didn't cry when Yukio left, sure, but he certainly can't fault Rolo for feeling that awful about his own brother leaving.]
