THEY were an idiot. THEIR feelings were about to make the situation even worse. Simply because THEY cared too much. Ever since they came back, everything has gone downhill. For the both of them.

THEY wouldn't be able to handle it if THEY were at fault for more of their pain. Simply obey and everything would be fine. Everything would be absolutely fine.

THEY were soon dropped, the portal quickly closed as they crush the hourglass.
THEY look down at the ground, not daring to make contact with them.

THEY bit THEIR tongue as THEY took tiny glances at them. It..wouldn't hurt to give them a bit of comfort would it? THEY slowly reached out. So close yet so far. Just a bit further. Just a small pat.

Just looking at them, THEY felt tears threatening to spill. What was the point of being millenias old yet you couldn't do anything for the ones you love? So old yet too tiny to do a thing. Hah, fate is truly cruel. It never fails to be.

As the portal opened, there lied Elian..they had fallen asleep, possibly overwhelmed by the pain.
"Oh dear aeons ■■■■■■-"
THEY hissed, that familar burning sensation in their throat. It never got any easier. Nevermind that, that was not what was important.

THEY had to continue on as if THEIR 'sibling' was not being punished for their sins. Heart aching behind that wall of indifference. Even if that cowboy's revival was needed to set things in balance, THEY were still punished for allowing it.

Perhaps THEY would not receive a physical one, but a mentally torturing one. THEY had been forced to hear their sounds of pain when THEY were here. Completing THEIR duties? Screams. Checking on others in their purgatories? '𝐈'𝐦 𝐬𝐨𝐫𝐫𝐲'.

Oh how THEY wished for their pain to end. To take on some of that pain THEMSELVES, as it was intended. But of course, Elian had to be such an idiot to take on both of their punishments...
Though, this had not saved THEM from punishment completely.
