[The sky is dark. It's not that the sky has turned grey. You just can't see the sky.

Two enormous trees, now utterly bare of leaves, rise over the landscape.

On the ground, angels tear wildly at each other, or drift aimlessly.

V/V turns the camera on herself. It's obvious that she's been crying.]

I don't have control of every part of myself... I lost control of what I'd been trying to suppress. And the leaves fell.

The reports from the stations monitoring the Land of Steel reported last that 99% of human life had been wiped out. They must have stopped because they either died or figured that there was no one to report it to anymore.

...I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry, everyone.

{It's probably a good thing, too, that there's not many people here, because V/V still has her wings and would look remarkably out of place in an all-human population.

She comes to sit next to him.] Hi.

[ he looks at her, taking in her wings, and nods slightly. ] Hello.

[Actionspam]

[heavenscorpse]

Are you feeling alright?

[Actionspam]

[reloadfromsave]

I think so. I'm a little disorientated. [ pause. ] I think maybe I ought to be the one asking you that question.

[Actionspam]

[heavenscorpse]

...I don't have very many words for feelings. But I have a lot of them right now.

[Actionspam]

[reloadfromsave]

I understand. I... recently I've found myself more and more in that position.

[Actionspam]

[heavenscorpse]

I don't like it.

[Actionspam]

[reloadfromsave]

[ he shakes his head slightly. ] It's definitely not pleasant.

[Actionspam]

[heavenscorpse]

I think I might cry again.

[ he looks over at her, feeling faintly, vaguely alarmed and not sure if he's the best person for dealing with this - but no wait it's okay he's done this with River before he's got this ]

[ he shuffles a little closer, awkwardly, because he may have no concept of personal space, but comfort is still something he doesn't feel he's that good at. ]

You can if you feel that way. I don't mind.

[She sniffles, already starting to tear up.]

Th-thank you, Castiel.

[ ack okay, tears. he hesitantly puts an arm around her shoulders. that's what you do with crying people, right? ]

[Actionspam]

[heavenscorpse]

[This causes her to start full-out bawling for a while. She'll stop after a minute, though.]

[Actionspam]

[reloadfromsave]

[ he hasn't really got any of the nuances of comfort down, but he's a good literal shoulder to cry on, at least? he waits until she's calmed down a little before speaking again. ]

Do you feel any better?

[Actionspam]

[heavenscorpse]

I-I do. Thank you so much.

[He gets hugged.]

[Actionspam]

[reloadfromsave]

[ o-oh hugs... okay these he's getting quite good at navigating, although that took him by surprise. ]

... You're welcome. I'm glad.

[Actionspam]

[heavenscorpse]

[She lets go quickly enough, anyway.]

Nobody should have to go through things like this alone.

[Actionspam]

[reloadfromsave]

No, I suppose not.

[Actionspam]

[heavenscorpse]

If you ever need my help, please tell me.

[Actionspam]

[reloadfromsave]

I... yes, of course. Thank you.

[Actionspam]

[heavenscorpse]

That's what friends are for.

[Actionspam]

[reloadfromsave]

[ he doesn't quite know what to say to that, so after a short while of looking at her, head slightly tilted, he nods. somehow, that seems right. ]

[Actionspam]

[heavenscorpse]

What are you going to do now? People that age go to school, don't they?

[Actionspam]

[reloadfromsave]

Yes. But I don't know what I'll do. I suppose I should go.

[ if only because he's been looking over some of Homura's notes out of curiosity and has a feeling he needs to be around her school in order to protect her friends. ]

I've never been in school, or I would give you some advice.
