"Can you blame me...? Look at you..." Haseo said, solemn and still trying to gather up his nerves. This never got better, seeing his friends hurt like this. It was bad enough losing them to AIDA back home. It was bad enough to know he could lose them to an eternal sleep... This, Alkaid, Silabus leaving... He wasn't sure how much more he could bear before he'd break like he had before. There was no Kuhn or Pi or Sensei or Phyllo here to help or to lean on, either. He shook his head and popped the lid off the antiseptic.

"Y...yeah... you're welcome..." Haseo replied, bright red eyes a little off, somewhere else, somewhere with the Twilight Brigade, walking between Ovan and Shino and feeling happy. It was easier if he wasn't paying attention completely right now.
