    Summary

    "There, there, you don't have to cry over him, Mob. You have me here." The entity—now a humanoid yellow orb—murmured into the boy's ear, running its fingers through his hair. The music the entity usually played drifted softly from deep within Verity, evoking a feeling strangely akin to safety.

    Even Mob—who moments earlier had sworn to find a way to destroy Verity—found himself leaning unconsciously into the touch. It was familiar yet hollow, a gesture that felt almost artificial. Because, in part, it was.

    Especially since he was now regretting having brought his best friend there to die. Or worse, at that very moment, he was thinking about how to dispose of the body. Not out of fear of being discovered, but because leaving it there felt stupidly wrong. It was ironic to think about morality while being soothed by the very thing that had killed his friend, wasn't it?

    It didn't matter, though.

    His desolation and sorrow wouldn't change if he kept sitting on a pool of blood that wasn't his own. But, maybe staying there to feel its touch wouldn't hurt.
