As if the day couldn't get more emotionally charged, Castor realizes that it probably wasn't the best idea to leave the house without telling anyone. Having concluded his conversation with Ryant, he makes his way back to the base. Considering this isn't the first time he's ran away due to emotional unrest; he could only imagine the talking-to he was about to get from the others... Well, it's not like Aaron would be there to scold him anyway.
...Tap, tap...
Xenos and Delta are the first ones to greet him. Xenos' face gives off a mix of happiness and relief, all things considered. Delta, on the other hand, is a bit harder to read. He doesn't say a word, just stares. Castor, feeling the shame and embarrassment setting in, just nods at the two.
"Welcome home...again...", Delta sighs.
Castor presents the crystals as some sort of token of apology, Xenos is pleased but Delta still seems upset.
"..."
"I'm sorry.", Castor says outright.
"...Why do you keep leaving?"
"I don't know..."
"...I know you'll probably do it again...but... next time you want to run away, can you try not to? Pretty please?"
"I just- I can't not do something about what happened. There has to be...something I could have done differently..."
"...I can get the weight of the situation", Xenos chimes in, "There's a lot of 'adult' stuff happening right now. Things are really tough for all of us."
Castor holds his left arm and looks away from the boys.
"But that's why we need to stick together, right?", Xenos asks, "We're family."
"Y-...yeah."
Delta walks up to Castor and hugs him. If nothing else, at least there's some kind of solace in this troubling time.
But the eye of the storm soon passes.
Later that day, Uriel returns after checking in with Straus and Koto. She and Ex gather everyone up and begin devising their next moves. With Vyz still at large, he could come back and begin terrorizing their World and others at any time. Not only that, but now that news is spreading about DarkClaw's demise, their normal band of villains could try seizing the opportunity to get a jump on everyone and take the Gaia Crystals from them. And what about the civilians? What about Delta's mother in the hospital? Will Wraith and the rest of his troops be able to evacuate people in time? Too many questions, not enough answers, and no time to think. There's only really one conclusion that everyone can come to, though, the normally chipper Ex is the first one to say it out loud:
