...

I'm gonna die...I'm gonna die...

No...I can't...not yet...

Unbeknownst to Keiri, Reiku had used one of his assailant's knives to free his sister's bondages, then gently set his unconscious sibling onto the ground before dressing her and himself in their clothing.

Those bastards better go rot in hell for what they did to her, the boy thought maliciously as he equipped himself.

Crimson eyes then took a glance outside. Nothing. Not a sound except the click of his KSG cocking back into place. Now bending down, he stared apologetically at Keiri... _________________________________

"Uuuuhhgg...fuck..."

Sky-blue eyes fluttered in and out reality, their fire evanescing but still very much alive. She heard a distant voice reverberating from the confines of her own mind. Her brother's voice. And it wasn't her conscious that spoke to her.

"I'm...I'm sorry, Keiri..."

Her body was too weak and worn out to respond. Her wound may have been patched up to the best of her brother's ability, but pain still stung everywhere; inside and out.

"I'm so sorry...I-I know y-you won't forgive me but..."

She felt a pair of warm arms gently embrace her now-clothed being. Piercing eyes no longer cut through another's gaze, worn down to a melancholic stare as they sprung with a torrent of tears. Her voice hitched and gasped seemingly for air as they soon produced sobs.

"I-I'm so sorry, K-Keiri...please...please forgive me...please..."

Despite her pain, despite her brother's failure to protect her, despite the lingering danger of robbers outside, she felt at ease. Despite her tears and her sobs, she felt as if nothing had happened. She felt safe. Returning his embrace, she cracked a small smile as more teardrops streaked down her face, and whispered reassuringly into his ear...

"It's okay, brother...I am safe again...with you..."
