Feather ended up having to be escorted out of the hospital by Lav and Tori. He had barely noticed. He was currently slung over Lav's shoulder as if he was a sack of potatoes, but he didn't care. How could he? The only real reason he had to tolerate his life in H3ll was now dead. He spaced out even more until he was plopped down onto his bed. Lav was standing above him, arms crossed, but it was clear that Lav wanted to cry. So did Feather, but his emotions were currently shut down. "Say something, damn it," Lav hissed, tilting his head down, his fists clenching at his sides. "There's nothing to say," Feather replied, his voice completely void of emotion. "How can you think that?!" Lav roughly grabbed Feather's shoulders, shaking him slightly, "Your partner's dead! That's not nothing! You have to be thinking about so much right now, but you're not saying anything! Say something, damn it!" Feather just stared up at him, completely silent. He couldn't even force himself to cry. Unable to form English words, he mumbled Japanese instead. "一体何を言ってほしいのですか？私に何を望んでいるのですか?" (Translation: "What exactly do you want me to say? What do you want from me?") "You can't expect me to just be okay and be able to talk right now!" Feather snapped, finally speaking English at this point, "It's not okay! Don't yell at me because I can't talk about it! My partner of a year and a half just died! You can't expect me to be okay!" Lav took a step back, releasing Feather's shoulders, tears welling up in those pretty lavender purple eyes. "I know. That's why I can't handle it." Feather paused, taking a deep breath. "I'm not ready to talk about it yet. I need you to understand that." "I know." Lav sighed deeply, handing his head down. "It's just so hard to accept it."
