i will burn my dread
Who: Everyone!
What: Welcome to the Dark Hour!
Where: In the Strega warehouse.
Warnings: Possible blood and gore, Persona 3/general SMT-level disturbing topics, possible violence (knowing this group). Will edit if needed.
[When he first wakes up, Ken finds himself lying on a bed. That in itself isn't so unfamiliar, but this one has dents where it should, the shape of a small body pressed into it over weeks and months, and the sheets are soft and scratchy in just the right places and -]
[Oh no. He sits up and pulls himself out of bed, reaching almost automatically for Koromaru but... he's not there. Of course not. He'd been expecting the Tower, but this is worse, because they're not here because this is his Heart, not theirs, and because -]
[No. He has to think of what to do. He grabs the dangpa that Shinjiro made him and the copy of Gae Buidhe that Diarmuid gave him, strapping them onto his back. He needs to stay defended in this place, no matter what - the last Heart taught him that much.]
[The familiar pressure of the Dark Hour doesn't bother him, but it's worrying. It should be gone now. They won. It's over. Even in his Heart, it shouldn't be around. But it is, and there's a brief flare of panic before -]
[No. He needs to get going. The puzzles aren't going to find themselves.]

The scream of the final painting, however, breaks even his focus. He stands stunned for a moment as Ken begins to break down, a similar sense of despair eating away at his heart.
He knows this feeling.
The circumstances weren't the same. But he knows this feeling.
Memories of his own mother flicker through his mind for a moment as he turns away, unable to look at Ken head on.
Even if he, too, had lost someone so important - he doesn't know the first thing about giving any comfort. After all, his mother's death only exacerbated problems in his own family - there wasn't any comforting, only an increase in the torture his brother so gleefully doled out.
