TIAMAT

[ Everything fades to black...and you awaken in a run-down one-room shack, with the distinct feeling that the people around you are your family, if you didn't already have such a bond with them.

You're wearing raggedy versions of your uniform, and a newspaper informs you that you are currently in Cathay, on the fifteenth anniversary of the day the company Lupus' Secret Stash led a coup and established their own government. In fact, you can now remember why you came here - to escape the misfortunes of your own country - because this is truly the land of opportunity and freedom. ]

But we can afford to treat Diamond this time...

That's worth an arm...

We're treating you too, idiot.

[the tourniquet he ties is uncomfortable, but effective. probably not as effective as cauterizing the wound would be, but. . .]

...fancy clothes.

Lots of them.

. . .

[GIVING HIM A LOOK]

Are you going delirious from blood loss already?

It gives us clothes for warmth...

N'happiness...

[s-snort]

. . . clothes and alcohol, then. At Clover's suggestion.

[Ruby has Diamond so he is sticking close to Ed this round]

[This is a reasonable facsimile of a that-is-that nod]

We can use the alcohol... Wth'fire... To burn it shut... Yeah...

. . . good idea.

[though do we have matches??]

Stay with me, okay? You're kinda out of it, but I need you to stay awake.

But m'sleepy...

Weeh...

I know you're sleepy. You can sleep later.

[when you're properly treated and Kaito isn't afraid he might fall asleep and not wake up]

It's fine.

I'm not gonna die or whatever... Right?

[firmly]

Of course not.

Then s'fine if I nap...

S'fine if you nap later. We need you to stay awake for right now.

Why..?

[because I don't want you to pass out and not wake up!1]

Because sleeping in the middle of a game is lazy.

I got my arm blown off...

I earned a nap.

You earned a nap later.
