[There's no reason to stand, he knows. He'd fallen before, admitting to Oz that he felt so weak that he thought he'd never stand again. And what had Oz told him then? You think you'll fall? That's great! Just fall down!

Just fall down.

He'd fallen before, but Oz had always been there to help him back up. To tug on his arm and remind him of what his duties were, even when his mind had been too muddled to recall, his body too weak to hold the burdens of the both of them.

So he lets himself fall then, knowing that he won't get back up right away. Ritsuka's tear slides down his cheek, but his own don't follow it. For once, he doesn't cry. For once he doesn't fight this feeling of uselessness.

Am ambulance...the word hardly makes sense to him as he starts to feel himself enveloped by unconsciousness.]


I failed...I'm sorry.
