[warlord.]

Absence choked back a sob. "O-okay, mommy..." he walked away.

[Balsam]

"..... A-Absence.... Come back....."

[warlord.]

Absence walked back into the room. He climbed onto the bed and crawled underneath the covers, where he cried quite a bit.

[Balsam]

Rin looked horrified. "..... Absence....." She stood up, wincing. "I'm so sorry....."

[warlord.]

"... Mommy...? Where's daddy...?"

[Balsam]

"I dunno. Assistance took him somewhere..... Lenny lost a lot of blood." Rin stared at the wall. "... Like I deserve to call him Lenny. He had a serious problem and that was how I addressed it.... ... I'm very worried about him."

[warlord.]

Absence crawled over to her side. "He'll be okay, mommy..."

[Balsam]

"I can hope..... But I won't know." Rin went and grabbed her bag. She started packing. "..... Absence, I'm leaving."

[warlord.]

"Why are you leaving, mommy...?"

[Balsam]

"..... It is very complicated, dear. You can come with me or stay here." Rin got all her clothes and packed them up, leaving out a winter-ready dress, some tights, boots, and a hooded cloak. "I don't care which you choose, as I want you to be happy. But I myself can no longer stay here."
