Kashuu-san, nothing feels like it should-! I kept trying to help people because they're sad or scared... but I didn't actually care about how they felt. Even when it's people I should care about... I just wanted to feel something for myself. That's what it means for it to be gone, right? Like I lost that heart that loves everything and wants people to no longer suffer...

[ He pulls the shard back, staring at the red edge, then to Kashuu. Maybe if he talks it out, it'll do something about this? Even now he's trying to help this distressed Kashuu like all the others, but he doesn't know what's wrong to really answer that the best he could. More specifically, what's wrong with him. Happiness, grief, fear... he wants to feel those again, even if the latter two are painful. That's how he ended up in here, this building everyone knows to avoid by now. It's almost as if he has chased around for something all the while they've been here. Except they belonged to other people; he knew it and that's awful of him, isn't it, to search for the suffering of others?

His voice slowly shifts from sounding desperate to softly resigned. Maybe... the one feeling he was left with was exhaustion. That, unfortunately, just piles up on itself until... ] He closes his eyes, trying to find a way to express what is making him want to do something like this, even with Kashuu there to likely, no, most definitely intervene. ]

It's like I woke up here, broken before this place even tried. I didn't need that altar or some mirrors to have it happen...

I just want to sleep for a while. Is that okay, Kashuu-san?
