Dottores eyes slightly widened, Valentin's words bringing indescribable pain to his heart.
"I don't think I ever feared death like this before.." Valentin looked down at his shot wound, "No, no, you're not gonna die..stop talking like that!" Dottore shouted, trying to stop tears from flooding from his blurry eyes.
"I'm..afraid that I'll become nothing if I close my eyes, Dottore..is this what I want?" Valentin looked up at Dottore, Dottore stared at him in the eyes, trying to find some sort of humanity in him.
"Do I want to return to nothing?" Valentin's eyes seemed to be slowly closing, "Before I met you I wanted something like this to happen, but now, that I know you've made me human..I fear death." Valentin put a hand on Dottores shaking hand.
"I never made you anything Valentin, you were always human, you..your not going to die!" Dottore hugged Valentin as he was shaking.
Valentin took a few small breaths before speaking again, "Always human?", "I don't think I'd even deserve the title of being human before I met you." Valentin said breathlessly.
Dottore just let small weeps and hugged Valentin tighter.
Valentin looked behind Dottore to see Albedo standing with a gun, the gun that had shot Valentin. Albedo was also shaking, but not from sorrow or fear of loosing someone. Just fear from getting someone else's blood on his hands.
Valentin smiled slightly at Albedo, thank you he mouthed.
He then closed his eyes.
Dottore felt Valentin's body go limp in his arms, he gasped as he let go of the hug then looked at Valentin.
Dottore bit his lip, trying not to scream out of frustration and sorrow of his son like figure dying.
It took a few minutes for Dottore to finally collect himself and get up.
Dottore took a deep breath before turning to stare at Albedo who was standing there with the gun, looking horrified.
Dottore didn't look like the way Albedo thought he would look, Dottore looked more serious, not even a hint of being sad or angry.
Dottore started walking towards Albedo, at least, that's what Albedo thought he was doing but..he just walked right past him, leaving the room.
Albedo got shivers throughout his whole body, he slowly backed away a bit then started running to the door to leave.

Scaramouche nodded, Dottore nodded back then left his room to go to his office.
Dead?
Scaramouche stared at the ground, not believing the words he was just told.
Valentin can't be dead, what kind of joke is this?!
Scaramouche gritted his teeth.
Dottores never lied about something so serious before..
Scaramouche sat on his bed, leaning his head back a bit.
Unless he's not lying.
—————
Albedo knocked on Dottores office door, but before Dottore could say anything like 'come in' Albedo already in.
Dottore looked up quickly, wiping his eyes like he had just been crying. "Albedo." Dottore spoke.
"Sorry for what? Valentin had it coming didn't he? You were just trying to help after all." Dottore said as a reply.
"You seemed like you really cared about him..you were—never mind. I don't think you'd want me to talk about it." Albedo looked at Dottore, trying to stay calm.
"Albedo, let me ask you this.." Dottore began, "Do you like living?" Dottore looked straight at Albedo, making Albedo sweat a bit.
"Yes, sir." Albedo replied.
"Do you like being in control of people or things?" Dottore asked.
Albedo went quiet.
"Doesn't everyone?" He finally answered.
