[After this happened, the robot designed to replace Kuroba Kaito had run.

It hadn't taken long before he stumbled to a halt, shaking, curled against the side of a building.

Feel free to find him there, shivering, pretty much non-responsive.]

[She moves a little closer, hoping that this isn't a bad decision]

What happened?

[tickingheart]

[ absolutely nothing. still the same blank expression, still the same slight shaking of his entire body. broken. ]

[bustydefense.livejournal.com]

Who can I get to help you.

[tickingheart]

[ You're going to have to try a lot harder than that to reach him, Mia. He's reacting though, slowly. He's stopped shaking. ]

[It's hard to try really hard when you're pretty sure you're looking at the person who killed someone you're looking after]

Kaito. Listen to me. Can you even hear me?

[tickingheart]

[Maybe it's the name, and he stirs slightly, turning to look at her. His expression is totally blank.]

What's wrong, Kaito?

[tickingheart]

..

she was my friend...

[bustydefense.livejournal.com]

Who was?

[tickingheart]

...

...


Aigis-san.

[bustydefense.livejournal.com]

Aigis? What's happened?

[tickingheart]

[Wrong question Mia. Or maybe the right one. He's shaking again, staring blankly ahead.]

....

I'm defective.

[and evasive too, apparently.]

[bustydefense.livejournal.com]

What do you mean by that?

[tickingheart]

I broke her.

[bustydefense.livejournal.com]

... Why?

[tickingheart]

...

I'm defective.

[bustydefense.livejournal.com]

How?

[tickingheart]

[stare]

I broke her.

Aigis-san. My friend.

[bustydefense.livejournal.com]

Why?

[tickingheart]

I broke her. She was my friend. I broke her.

I'm defective.

[bustydefense.livejournal.com]

Why did you... break her?

[tickingheart]

... It... it made sense then.

I'm defective. She made me realize that. So I broke her.

...

I shouldn't have done that.

[bustydefense.livejournal.com]

Why are you defective?

[tickingheart]

... I wasn't finished... when he made me... I woke up before I was finished...

[bustydefense.livejournal.com]

So?
