> Katherin knelt beside Kido. She was careful not to touch him but it was hard. Her heart went out to the smaller boy. She didn't know what was between him and Felice but it was obvious that the taller boy was very protective of Felice. "Shh... Kido. Please don't cry. You'll make yourself sick. You don't want them to know what your weaknesses are. You have to be strong for Felice. I won't say that he'll be ok but I can say that he'll be back."

"I-I-I..." Kido hiccuped, lost for what to say and unable to stop the tears. He looked down to the batons in his hands before holding them closer to his chest. "H-he didn't even d-do anything, really... I d-don't know what...what I did..." After a moment longer, the boy attempted to wipe the tears from his face, though it didn't really do very much with the ones quickly replacing them. Standing up from his spot on the floor, he kept his head down as he turned to Katherin. "I-I'm sorry, I have to *hic* to put these s-somewhere safe. I'll...I'll be right back." Quickly, he made his way back to his room, searching through his drawers for something as soon as he entered.
