Mount Apikuni just like magic, i'll be flying free

The green-eyed girl mentioned Lennon, and quickly Alarian shook his head.
No, Lennon is-- he hasn't done anything. He paused a couple beats before admitting a bit breathlessly: I was thinking about my brother.
The boy's gaze turned skyward again; admitting it aloud hurt. All over again it was becoming real to him. Too real. He had locked these memories away for quite some time, denying himself the opportunity to feel it more than he thought was necessary. Now, he couldn't shake the growing dread and panic. There was suddenly something screaming at him to search once again; to resume his desperate journey.
He knew he could not, though. Not now-- and the knowledge only increased his misery.

edit: this is super old, I'm gonna say Ali prolly cut this short and went to sleep so I can archive. we can toss up a new one for Xahi to ask more about this soon if you want <3
