Just April here!

[alephbet]

A...pril?

[The wound makes it hard for him to breathe, hard for him to get he words out.]

Are you okay?

[idolizer]

I've got just Maizono here!

[technologic]

[April just stares for a moment, her expression a mix of complete shock and horror. He didn't just do what she thought he did, he didn't...]

... D-dammit, you shouldn't be asking me that! Shit, I don't know how to treat wounds like this...

...this is going to be so hideous.

[heavenscorpse]

[It hurt, but it was all right. She had already died once.]

That didn't hit you too, did it? You should go now.

[alephbet]

That's okay. I'm glad you're alright.

[He actually smiles.]

[risingshepard]

[...Heh. Dying again...to think that this'd happen in such short order.

At least Yu's sister'll be fine now...as long as she was, Shepard could care less if she died on the battlefield.]

[technologic]

[She just shakes her head fiercely.]

Y-you shouldn't be saying that! You should be worried about yourself, you goddamn- [She has no idea what to do or how to feel, and she can feel her eyes start to tear up and her voice cracks when she speaks again.]

D-do any of your demons know healing spells or anything? Maybe they can...

[risingshepard]

Just Shepard.

...This will be the most cruel of things.

[alephbet]

[He shows her his arm terminal. Cracked almost through.]

It won't work. But it's a good idea.

[technologic]

[She hisses a curse to herself, but it doesn't stop her from trying to get it to work.]

Well, I can try. I'm not gonna just stand here!

[idolizer]

N-No... I can't leave you here- why did you-- why...

[ Her voice is broken, and she's holding the girl close, blood on her uniform be damned. ]

[alephbet]

Even if it doesn't work... I think it was worth it.

[justiceinheaven]

[Oh... no... no please no...]

Shepard...san...?

[heavenscorpse]

[V/V is totally calm, unlike the other girl.]

Because I like you and I don't want you to die.

[technologic]

It wasn't. [That's pretty much hissed out as she tries to use her technopathy to get the terminal to work.] You shouldn't have done that, you shouldn't...

[risingshepard]

...Good. You're alright...

Yu'd have my head if he knew I let you die...

[She topples down to one knee, having spared her last ounces of strength to deal with the poor sap that dared come to harm Nanako in the first place.]

[alephbet]

You're alive.

[So, it was worth it.]

[technologic]

And? That isn't worth... t-this... [She quickly rubs at her eyes, before going back to working on the terminal. She refuses to give up, even though she knows it won't work.]

[eighteen_winters]

Just Illya here.

Yep.

[miseris_socios]

[He didn't know her, but that didn't matter. She was in trouble from a monster. She needed help. He could help.]

[So now there was a monster, zapped to a crisp. And there was also Ken, on the ground, a claw through his stomach. His Evoker had dropped from his hand and spun across the ground. He looked up at Shepard, a small smile on his reddening lips.]

[alephbet]

[The terminal clicks on at last.

At the same instant, Aleph stops breathing.]

KAJI, WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

[risingshepard]

[...Damnit. Damnit all...

Why'd a kid--a kid, of all people, have to die for her sake? Even if he was going to spend it in this helltower, he still had a whole life ahead of him.

It was almost--no, it was unfair.]

...You didn't have to.
