Ryuutaro couldn't hold back a sharp exhaling of breath as Shamal said the last phrase. He wished it was like that. How he wished it was. But he's seen him die. He knew it was possible, it could happen, from one moment to another. In a matter of minutes the person he loved could be erased from the world and he knew painfully well how it felt.

"I can say that I know. I know him longer than a few days. It does seem impossible to go without seeing him injured... I have seen every level of injury on him." Which was probably true... "And I have to say it does not make it feel any better."
