Meifu
The mood in Meifu has never been this low. Watari has been sitting in front of his computer the entire time after their return.He is researching god knows what or simply staring at the screen with empty eyes.
Tatsumi called this meeting because Konoe took an abrupt leave of absence. The office has a deceiving air of calm expectation.
It is crushed as Tatsumi says the words they have all been dreading within their hearts.Tatsumi brings out the big book that holds all the names of people who are alive in them.The Earl had brought it over for this meeting.He was sitting in a corner crying, mask set aside to reveal a handsome face stricken with tears.
"Tsuzuki-san's body………was found. The burial will take place next Friday. Nothing else was discovered at the crime scene and no record of either Kurosaki-kun or Muraki-san has been traced or recovered."We assume they were burned beyond saving. And…" Tatsumi's voice broke off with a painful sob as he crossed out Hisoka and Muraki's names from the book.
Tatsumi quickly started walking away. "Meeting dismissed," he snapped.He left, leaving all his folders and stationery behind.
Watari followed Tatsumi and entered the office without knocking.
"It's okay to cry you know," he said softly. This earns only a small wave from Tatsumi.He is standing at the window and not looking at anyone.
Watari walked carefully closer only to see the tears already trailing on Tatsumi's face. Swallowing the lump in his own throat, he took the crying man in his arms, meeting no resistance. In a short while, they were both sobbing out the pain of loss.
"We'll find Bon too and give him a place beside Tsuzuki…" Watari sniffled between the sobs.
"And we'll never forget them," Tatsumi added, his voice breaking in every syllable.Tears begins to trickle down from his sapphire eyes.
