"There's nothing wrong with that," Nightmare interjected, their tone firm, "Your actions were justified, and your emotions are valid. You shouldn't feel guilty for standing up for yourself."
Blue paused at the words, his shoulders hunching slightly as he slowed to a stop. He sent them a glance—only to immediately grimace and look away when they caught his gaze. The Spirit paused next to him, patiently waiting for him as he took a shaky breath.

The Guard flushed slightly, a sheepish grin tugging at his mouth. "Y-yeah, uh. Yeah."
Nightmare had noticed right away that their stupid 'brother' didn't properly appreciate the one mortal in his little group—and soon enough, they found themselves stealing the poor song bird right from under their enemies' noses.
