Oreo and Marco had done everything they possible could but Magnus death was inevitable
His body laying there, recovered from his battle wounds but still pale and cold
Many feelings hovered across the whole base. Anger, distress, sadness, guilt
It may have passed only a couple of minutes after his body retrieval, but for his friends it felt like a eternity
Gayoul was unable to keep himself around his body so he climbed to the rooftop of the base, there he was able to see all the four towers that make up the building

He sat down there watching the sky, hearing the wind scream sublime

(Gayoul)-"..."

No one could knew what he was thinking...
Or so he thought

(Alan)-"Gayoul... i saw you climbing here so i thought you need someone to keep company"
(Gayoul)-"No- i just wanted some fresh air"
(Alan)-"Are you sure youre fine?"
(Gayoul)-"Im not sure of anything, not of myself either"
(Alan)-"...hmmm... mood"
(Gayoul)-"Huh??"

Alan sat down beside Gayoul
They were not close as friends and this was probably their first significant talk

(Alan)-"You know- its just i feel the same way, all the time"
(Gayoul)-"Really?" *frowning*
(Alan)-"Its not a reach by my side, i actually feel like this all the time"

Gayoul was silent but noded while looking into the distance

(Alan)-"I think from all the people here, youre the only one who also would get it-"
(Gayoul)-"Get what?"
(Alan)-"How it feels to be powerless-"

His words finally caught Gayoul attention making him look straight in his eyes

(Alan)-"I know you feel the same as i do because i have seen in your eyes while recovering his-"
(Gayoul)-"Dont say it-" *sigh* "I think youre mistaken my guilt with it... and besides, i think Oreo is the one you could relate more-"
(Alan)-"Just cause you atleast know how to fight while me and Oreo dont?"
(Gayoul)-"I did not say that, you sayed it yourself-"

Alan huffed but stayed calm

(Alan)-"This is not just about being powerless, its about being usefull!"
(Gayoul)-"...I-"
(Alan)-"Listen, Oreo may have no big or flashy powers but he still is usefull-" *sigh* "-something you and me dont feel like right now..."
(Gayoul)-"...Youre right... i do feel the same as you..." *coughes* "but i kinda of thought you had come here to cheer me up or something-"

Both Gayoul and Alan laught at this situation

(Alan)-"I dint say i came here to do so, i just saw you and thought you needed some company"
(Gayoul)-"Pretty much you feel pitty then-"
(Alan)-"Not at all! I am here to show you some empathy" *he smiles* "Its in moments like this people need to stay together and show some empathy"
(Gayoul)-"Thank you... sorry for judging you without even trying to know you"
(Alan)-"Nah its fine, it happens even with the best"

Alan closed his eyes for a moment while smilling, only to hear Gayoul sniffing and sobbing

(Gayoul)-"I cant belive i am this weak-" *sobs* "-i promised my grandpa i would become strong- just like him-" *sobs harder* "and yet... I cant protect myself neither anyone else..."

15 minutes passed until both of them went down to met the others
Gayoul was anxious to see anyone else, he imagined getting punched or beaten by someone like Vera or Jhon, and deep inside...
He was praying for it to happen

(??????)-"Hey Gayoul- clean your face, sorry for making you cry..."

That voice...
Gayoul eyes went wide, that could not be possible, even if he wished his hardest

(Gayoul)-"Ma- ma- Magnus?!?!?"

Witnessing with his own eyes, somehow Magnus was still alive

(Alan)-"How is this- possible!??"
