      When he saw his brother struggle to meet his gaze – he could feel an overwhelming amount of s e l f shame wash over him. There was nothing wrong with how Tetsu and Old Child had done. They’d only been put in danger because of Mahiru and himself - because his E V E insisted on being a good person. Because - - - ! Well...They’d have been better off remaining as they had been, without becoming ALLIES of their jumbled mess of a team.

      Now his brother was INJURED. No. no. Not injured, crippled. Fighting Tsubaki hadn’t only left Hugh in a tight spot, but also Hyde/Lawless. . . If anyone should be apologizing, it was K U R O.

      He had been the one who had been l a t e. And though that wasn’t uncommon for the SERVAMP of SLOTH, it seems his retreat from responsibilities. . . had h u r t his family. And he felt immense shame for having been so late to action that his brothers were both suffering now. ‘… they’re not the first to have suffered for trusting me…’ G U I L T. Guilt soaked his thoughts, his everything, as he moved carefully to casually scratch at the back of his head. “… it’s alright.” Kuro - Sleepy Ash - mutters aloud, finally. His crimson eyes dodging the others… “You were fine. I was just… late.”

      As the eldest s e r v a m p, he was the one that people looked to for answers. And yet, here he was. He didn’t know what he could do to tell P R I D E that they weren’t responsible. ( . . . this was part of the very reason he h a t e d doing anything. FEELING responsible for anything. Making choices. ) “… please… don’t apologize. Just focus on feeling better.”
