Finally, he got his head on straight enough to let out one of his trademark shouts. Which went on a bit longer than usual. He pointed at the two of them. "You--" and his brain ran out of gas just that quickly.

He was dealing with a lot of emotions all at once. This was far from the kind of homecoming he expected to get after just spearheading sending Terui to die. Far from what he probably deserved. He'd played along with the game, just like he'd yelled at Philip for doing. But he'd still managed to protect people. Was that worth it? Even if some had to die for him to get it, he did manage to protect people the both of them cared about. His shock had faded to bewilderment, and then his eyes got a little faraway.

He leaned back against the wall and let his crutch topple. He slid down it until he was sitting with his knees against his chest. It was like this had all finally broken through whatever stores of energy he'd had left. Whatever glue he'd been holding himself together with had finally failed. Everything he'd been trying all this time to do was looking more and more impossible. He was far from being a person capable of doing it. All he was doing was bringing people down with him. People that didn't deserve it. Especially these two people here.
