[Haha. Ha. If only Nene hadn't told him what the Garden is. It's enough to make his heart seize in his throat, a surprising thing for him and the aforementioned Illuminous Phenomenon. Were his hands not bloody, he might've run them through Add's hair in an attempt to calm him, like in the long-lost memories of Elesis doing the same to him when they were children. The only thing staying his hand is the fact that blood is something of a pain in the ass to wash out... but then again, they've both been there before.

Elsword won't force Add to look at him this time; ordinarily he likes to meet his eyes, map his expressions and the depths he can barely cross, but he'll give his friend this. They don't have to acknowledge the tears. It's alright.]

We take care of each other, [comes his resolute affirmation, with the confidence only someone who could possibly walk into the El and survive could have.] We're a team. That's the whole point.

And I don't want you to go back to the Garden. [Not again. If Add goes, Elsword goes; at least they'd be together.] I want you here with me. Even when I was upset a couple days ago, I never stopped wanting that.
