... It isn't.

[ He quietly breathes out and holds Kido a little tighter than before. He recalls Vassago briefly coming out without the usual summoning method in the hospital and his conversation with Souji pretty much reinforced the idea that he probably doesn't have much time left, even though he's been doing all that he can to try and find a way so that Vassago doesn't turn into a Shadow like Sasuke's did. It's too bad that it's all having the opposite effect every time he tries and while the therapy did help a little, the event (death) after worsened everything. The conversations he had with everyone in the hospital furthered all that. He doesn't want to go.

But then he wonders... is it more important to stay alive as someone else or die as yourself?

That's what makes it sadder... and unfair.

[ Either way, he doesn't want Kido to go through that again, but he doesn't know what to do otherwise. He could continue searching for other ways, but it already feels futile. It drained whatever was left of his optimism, but he can at least try for other people. It's a lot draining when other people are involved rather than just worrying about himself, but that's the price of having friends--people who care.

It's not so bad.

Sorry... that I can't do much more.

[ It sure would be nice to just hop on over to Kido's world and fuck up whoever destroyed her family, but. You know. ]

[ Terry rubs Kido's back a little more before letting go of the hug. He picks up the bags again and holds her hand. ]

Yeah... Let's go home.

[ There's a small smile on his face. Maybe it's to cope. Maybe it's to help Kido smile too. Either way, it's there. ]

Tomorrow is another chance.
