Len closed his eyes and quickly fell asleep. He lied a little too still.

Absence got up and followed.

[Balsam]

Rin slowly walked back into the room to check on Len. She was dressed warmly, like she was going somewhere very cold. "..... Lenny..... Are you really okay?"

Tsukiko sniffled. "Mr. Pa isn't okay......"

[warlord.]

"No, I'm not..." Len held out a hand.

"He's not..." Absence rubbed his eyes.

[Balsam]

"I-I thought you were asleep....." Rin said. She took a step backwards.

"Mrs. Ma isn't, either....."

[warlord.]

"I can't sleep. You know that.."

"... What're they gonna do?"

[Balsam]

Rin frowned. "I wish I could help! I really do!"

"I dunno....."

[warlord.]

"Tsukiko told me something interesting..."

"Nnn..." Absence began to cry.

[Balsam]

".... Then there's no more hiding it, is there?" Rin shook her head. "It's my fault for not melting that bird earlier..." She turned to leave.

Tsukiko hugged him and cried as well.

[warlord.]

"Please don't leave again..."

Absence hugged her. He sobbed loudly.

[Balsam]

"There's a reason..... I shouldn't be able to do this." Rin murmured. "......I won't be able to control it soon and everything I love will freeze. I have to go. I just wanted to see you again....."

"..... It'll be okay....."
