You feel the soft breeze as you slowly wake up, you rub your eyes as your body lifts you up from the cold covers that entombs you to the bed. You see the young man by the balcony with the window open, the cold winds fly through as he sits there, his face resting on his arm as you see it writhing, clicking erratically as it moved without rhyme nor rhythm. You call for him.
Hannah: Honey? Are you okay?
(He looks back at you, his serene ocean blue eyes seemingly turning into a reddish tint as his elongated mechanical fingers reflect moonlight onto them. He fixes himself.)
(Young Man, Script Guide): I'm fine
(You shook your head, you stand up and grab another chair to sit beside him with. You took his arm and embraced it and you feel his head slowly pressing on yours)
Hannah (Softly): Did you have another nightmare?
(Young Man, Script Guide): Yeah…
Hannah (Softly, Caressing his cheek): Honey, you know you can tell me these things right? It's okay to, you don't have to worry about a thing
(Young Man, Script Guide): I… I don't want you to get tired of me complaining about these things…
Hannah (Kisses his cheek): Hey now~ I won't get tired of listening to you~ You know that right?
(The young man is speechless, he holds you closer)
(Young Man, Script Guide): Sorry I'm… Still not used to this kind of treatment… They've told me I'm just complaining, just whining, that I'm the one falling behind because of it…
Hannah (Holds his cheeks): Honey, come, look at me dear~ They're gone now, you don't have to worry about them, you can leave their ashes where they were, back at District 9B. You're safe now my lovely~ You're safe.
(Young Man, Script Guide): It doesn't feel… Like I've erased them from my life at all… I can still hear their voices… Just now, I heard them again. I feel like I can't escape them… Every turn I make, every bullet I fire… I can hear them, louder than the screams of the dead…
Hannah (Caresses his cheek): You can… Hear their voices…?
(The young man nods)
(Young Man, Script Guide): Louder… Than anything else I can hear…
Hannah: Can you hear them now..?
(The Young Man shakes his head)
(Young Man, Script Guide): I don't… I don't hear them when I can hear you..
Hannah: Is that why, you've been calling me a lot lately at work?
(Young Man, Script Guide): Yeah… Talking to you, calms me down but… I feel like I'm just using you…
Hannah (Kisses his cheeks): Hey now, don't say that honey, you're not using me. I'm more than welcome to talk to you any time, you don't have to worry about anything, if you hear those voices just call me immediately and I'll be there for you, I promise.
(Young Man, Script Guide): I… If that's okay… I'll do that..
(You embrace him as he wraps his mechanical arms around you, you can feel the same warmth you've felt when you held his hand then.)
Hannah (Kisses his forehead): You've been a great man, you're stronger than most, and you carry the wishes of your group, your new family with you. They look up to you, did you know that honey?
(Young Man, Script Guide) [Perplexed]: No.. I don't.. they do?
Hannah (Giggling): Yeah they do~! I just came across Fuukami yesterday in break time, she and Touka were very big fans of yours~! Hehe~ They admired how you helped them settle their differences, and that you've brought their clans together because of it, they still really are impressed with how determined you were talking to them about that.
(Young Man, Script Guide): Fuukami and Touka said that..?
Hannah (Giddy): Mhm~! They kinda copy you sometimes you know? How you teach the recruits and the likes, I've seen them train their newbies and yeah they were definitely copying you haha~ It's adorable really~ OH! And Mr. Adelaide and Mr. Heinkell! They told me how you looked more like their older brother than their leader too~
(The Young Man burrows himself on your chest, hugging you tightly. You can hear him stifling his tears. You caress him softly, kissing him lots as you try to stifle your own tears.)
Hannah (Softly): You've done so much to these people my love… Ms. Fuukami, Ms. Touka, Mr. Adelaide, Mr. Heinkell. You took them under your wing, and you've made them family. Your family. Not your father or your mother. They robbed you of that, and to see and hear my beloved cry.. I can't help but cry too you know~?
(As the both of you cried for a while, comforting each other, you hold him tightly and kiss him softly.)
Hannah (Softly): You've gone so far, my love, where you stand now is not someone else guiding you to it. You did this, and you did it well. As best as you could, you bested your odds and here we are~! You're a strong, resilient person, and I can't praise you enough for what you've done to these people. But without you, they wouldn't be where they are today. With you, and now I'm here too. So don't worry, let's drown those voices away, and instead, listen to us, listen to me. And everything will be all right~
