[ Moving, having a destination and a short-lived purpose to occupy his thoughts help. He can breathe more easily, walk without hesitation. Once his brother knows the way, they'll walk side by side. But for now, he has to lead, and his twin must follow.
And they move quickly, just as before. Escaping the Fuuma village as their plan began -- moving through the forests of Shiga as everything came to fruition. Their steps in sync, no one would ever know there were two of them.

Shirasu leads his brother up into the stairwell -- there'll be time to show him the elevator later -- and they climb up until they reach his apartment. The lock clicks as he uses his passcard to let them in -- another thing to make sure his brother does, so he can come and go as he pleases. But, later. All later.
Only when he croses into the apartment, holding the door for his brother, does he let go of his hand. ]
This is where I live. [ Where they can live, unless his brother wants something different.
Shirasu is possibly more aware of how empty the place is now that his twin is there. Even when he had the opportunity to accumulate things, at the Kumou Shrine, and here, he really had no interest. But the lack of furniture, save for the low, Japanese-style table in the living area, seems to stand out. The bedroom isn't much better -- since he rarely sleeps a full night, and never sleeps in the same place for more than an hour or so, the bed that came with the apartment has never been used. His set of extra clothes, along with his Fuuma garb, hang stiff and immaculate in the closet.
The only thing which has any sort of personality is a tea set which sits on the table.
Fuuma were expected to have no attachments, love nothing and live for nothing but the well-being of their clan.
But what does "live for the clan" mean when there is only one clan member left?
There is a loud click as the door shuts and locks behind them. They're safe here. ]

When they were still children, in his uncharitable moments -- and he had a handful of them in the years after completing the Fuuma rite -- he had resented his mother's emotions. How could she, being a Fuuma herself, love someone so much that the loss of them changed her so completely? Shirasu had only briefly mourned her... there had been too much to do in taking over the clan and caring for his brother. There had been no time.
Understanding had begun to creep in after Tenka's death. But it had only been after losing his twin had he truly started to comprehend what his mother must have felt. Perhaps the only thing which prevented him from taking her path was that Shirasu had no one to take his misery out on. No one but himself.
He leans into the small comfort -- however hesitant -- from his brother; though the heartbreaking feelings haven't passed, they are less overwhelming. The reassurance from his twin passes without comment. He can't say such a thing without knowing what Shirasu had been apologizing for.
But his heart seizes at the mention of Tenka and Abe, his back stiffens. His brother seems unharmed. But are they hurt? As much as he respects his brother's skill, he doubts either one is dead.
His arrangement with Tenka is not the first topic he would have chosen to discuss with his brother, but for their future, it's probably the most important. Taking a deep breath, he squeezes his brother's hand and gestures toward the table. ]
Aa. They are here, along with the second Kumou brother. Come and sit. [ Shirasu, by habit, takes the tea set from the table and moves to prepare a pot. ] What happened?
