I have to break freeThis pouring winter is my heart's labyrinth
I can't go back anymore, so
I have to finish this
I don't care if you took my hand with dark motives
I want you to hold me close

This is kind of painful to watch. You all look suuu~uuper pathetic right now.
[There's no sign of the idol anywhere, though. Maybe there's a hidden speaker?]
As much as I'd love to watch you fail, it's no fun to let other people take care of you for me. Hurry up.
[The three shadows stare at them, the Unicorn stamping the ground... and then they begin to crumble away, howling in pain and leaving behind nothing but dust.
It's probably not a good thing to have a shadow taking pity on you, but at least there's a moment to breathe.]
no subject
Shut the fuck up! The only pathetic one here is you! You're just some wimpy little singer that no one here actually likes!
[ Someone's losing his cool. RIP. Admittedly, it's hard to keep one's cool when they're repeatedly set on fire. ]
no subject
Are you trying to hurt my feelings?
[There's a faint feeling of hands on his shoulders, as if someone is leaning onto him from behind, but there's no one there.]
Do you think I need anyone to like me? That I'm trying to protect a delicate heart? Silly, stupid dog. You have to try harder than this.
[yeah he's a werewolf but same difference, really.]

...Well if she was being honest she's somewhat distressed between all that and more yelling and whatever's going on with Richard.
She casts a Media on everyone to try and help out with the healing, then approaches Richard. She reaches out to try taking his hand. ]
Richard? Can you hear me?
no subject
... someone is saying his name. Someone is...
He doesn't pull his hand away, but at the same time, he doesn't make any move to grip it back, either. He just stands frozen as though his mind is somewhere else, eyes seeing another set of scenery entirely.]
no subject
Sunrise doesn't pull her hand away either. She is fairly certain making any sudden moves will only have him react badly, so she keeps talking in that quiet voice of hers. ]
Richard. I am here. Please take deep breaths.
no subject
If he can focus on that... if he can just remember who the voice belongs to...
Slowly, hesitantly, he gives that hand a tiny, gentle squeeze of thanks.]
no subject
...She wishes she could do more to help. ]
no subject
... Sunrise?
no subject
no subject
[The squeeze now is stronger, more deliberate, though still a far cry from his usual solid grip.]
... thank you.
no subject
And...perhaps she has been spoiled lately, with how this is the most she's ever been hugged, but she wants Richard to understand, too. ]
...Can I hug you, Richard?
[ Though she also would not be surprised if he said no. ]
no subject
He realizes suddenly just how much he wants to be hugged again, even as the mistrusting part of his mind screams at him to say "no."]
... please.
1/2
no subject
There's no body warmth from Sunrise, so it's more like hugging something cold. But she hugs him close, like how Mafuyu and Rutile have done for her. ]
no subject
He holds her gently, almost as though he's afraid that she'll break if he squeezes too tightly, or perhaps that she'll vanish and this will all turn out to be little more than a dream.]
