Kohra lay in the bed next to Alby, his arm stretched across Alby's chest. They were both so emotionally drained, all they wanted was sleep, and to be comforted in the knowledge that their friendship still existed.
I can get through this if you don't push me away. I you left me now, I would shatter. As long as you love me, you give me the strength to carry on. How you can think of yourself as a failure, as useless, I don't understand. You are so very strong, it pains me to know how you hate yourself, how sad you are. We love you, Mai and Seik and I. And while the love of a pathetic creature such as myself stands for nothing, the love of those two for you should be worth more than all the gil in this world. I may not deserve it, and I certainly don't understand it, but the knowledge that you love me gives me new hope. I think, although I've lost -him-, I still have you, my treasured friend and I can carry on. Perhaps together we can unravel this mystery, and discover why this has happened.
Kohra took a deep breath, allowing the air to escape his lungs in a shuddering sign as he finally let go and drifted off to sleep.
