In times like these, he'd have to fight for control, every breath a ragged snarl, every nerve determined to disobey him. Nothing comes except the sounds of sleeping and the quiet echo of Kaname's singing through his bracelet. The thought comes to him suddenly, without warning, much like the last thing he'd seen —

She reacts, even from the hold of sleep, and Messer spends a long moment just watching, like it's the first time he's really seeing her. How her expression creases and then smooths again, as if she sees something on the backs of her eyelids that he cannot. He can guess, though.
And he'd probably be right, noting the tracks in the dust on her face. ]
Once again. [ To his chagrin, it takes effort to extend his arm to his side to reach for his bracelet. ] You let me return.
[ His fingertips touch the metal surface, but trying to grip it fails when pain surges up his arm. His teeth grit into a hiss, and the bracelet falls, clattering to the floor below. It blips softly, the song cutting out. ]
