I did it, Papa... I did it It's alright now... [ a pause. and then - high, unsteady giggles. ] H.. hahaha! See, see! It's not so hard, it's not so--

[ coughing. he feels sick. so sick, this can't be- ] Stop looking at me!!

[ smash, smash, smash. snap. splat.

the journal rolls over, showing the grisly sight for all to see. shuri's practically bathed in blood, head thrown back. his foot is slamming down again and again into the remains of his enemy's head.

The laughter is back. Hard, crazed, and desperate- But now, it's mixed with sobs. ]

[ he's curled up and shaking by the time his cousin gets back in the room, his hands loosely clasped over his head. ]

[Hakuren makes a detour to see whether there's a - yep, there's an extra set of gear in here. He pulls that out and goes back to Shuri's side, coaxing him to sit back up.]

C'mon, Shuri...

[He's pretty sure Shuri'll smack him if he tries to get everything off, but Hakuren helps to get everything that's got blood on it off him, uses the wet towel to clean as much of Shuri as he can.]

[ any other time he'd definitely shake his cousin off and huff. now, he's just complacent. ]

[It's a little worrying just how complacent, but he's going to take what he can get and do things bit by bit. Worry about one thing at a time.

He gets Shuri out of the bloodied clothes and into something cleaner before he just tosses the old stuff.

Then he sits down next to him.]

Better.

[ he'll go back to laying down then, hands loosely holding his own throat. ]

[He's going to put his hand on your back and rub lightly, silent support, because he doesn't know what else to do.

And he's going to sit here for as long as you need him to.]
