As the sun sets, the windows become dimmer, wading the light as it shines over the cloudy summits of higher islands. Seff, his tears becoming dried lines, speaks to his brother on his knees as he firms the wraps he tended his arm with. "Achiin. What did you do? You know you get into so much trouble. I can't lose another family member… you know that." Seff gets up and wipes what little salty drops he had left and walks toward the sliding door. He looks back a tad and says "Wait here…" before stepping out and shutting it slowly with an inch to spare. Achiin, still breathing a bit heavily, opens his eyes to slits and looks up at the door, the thought of Alex's dead corpse still in his head. He doesn't think Seff should be upset, he's not going anywhere. He's more worried about Alex and if he's ok. He thinks to himself, "If Alex really is a robot... then can't he still be ok?" A single glowing blue tear falls from his right eye as he lay in bed hoping that Alex comes to once again, since apparently he can feel the chill of it still lingering, a soul. Before closing his eyes, the weeping one folds a glowing blue sheen into his amber iris. He fades to a slumber as his single tear dissipates into a stream of smoke wafting upward with the incense.
