[ Clive had fallen victim to this time and time again— that when the road was difficult ahead, he alone would attempt to carry the burden. He thought it to be his purpose, and never wished for others to feel that same pain. Yet it was Joshua himself, along with Jill and so many others, that would tell him time and time again that was not the case.
And here, too, standing before him did Rem say the same thing.
She had noticed it, too... the aura that Joshua surrounded himself with. Clive noticed it from an early age. Not because he was their family's shining glory of the Phoneix, but because of who he was a person. His gentle, devoted, and beautiful personality shined forth and touched the lives of anyone he would encounter. And that did not just extend on their own star, but here, as well.
So many people were willing to help them, to help them both that the knot in Clive's chest only tightened further.
To think that they weren't alone... that there would those who would go through such lengths to help them...
Those who would carry the burden alongside them... ]
I— [ Tears began to flow freely down his scarred cheeks.
For the past. For the horrors he had witnessed and the feeling still fresh against his skin where he held his brother in his arms.
For the present. For the aching and helplessness and anger.
For the future. For the flame in his heart that was once again ignited. That there still may be a chance upon this star to save his brother. With the help of so many others, there was a spark of hope that began to surface.
He had hope. ]
Thank you.... thank you...— [ His body crumbles under the weight of emotions- under her kind and furious words- as his hands go to cup around his face. Allowing all the exhaustion, all the days of wandering and not sleeping and no longer eating to all surface into a loud wail of desperation. ]
