[Kidlet's looking rather disheveled today, kneeling on the ground outside and crying.]

[ Where's the off button on those tears?? DX ] There is a good reason for his not being here for you yet, I can assure you.

[onwingsofflame]

'C-cause he forgot... Big Brother forgot me 'cause I went too far and it's been so long.

[engel]

Have you considered that your parents would not let him forget about you?

[onwingsofflame]

P-p-Papa's mean to Big Brother a-a-an' yells lots...

[engel]

His methods of showing affection have always been on the cold side.

[onwingsofflame]

I want Big Brother back...

[engel]

He will come for you, Luke. Just be patient.

[onwingsofflame]

I want Big Brother, 'cause... 'cause then Papa can't yell at him, and I don't want Papa to yell at him... Big Brother's good...

[engel]

Your brother is strong enough to put up with your father. You need to be strong for him, so he won't have to feel guilty for taking so long.

[onwingsofflame]

But I'm lonely... it's always lonely without Big Brother...

[engel]

...I am sorry I'm unable to ease your loneliness. A child such as yourself should be happy and out playing.

[onwingsofflame]

Papa says I shouldn't play so much anymore...

[engel]

It is time for you to learn responsibility, yet I see no reason why you can't do that through playing.

[onwingsofflame]

He said playing's not for big boys...

[engel]

[ Scoffs lightly. ] He should look at how he came out.

[onwingsofflame]

...

...

...I want Big Brother...

[engel]

... [ Picks up the kidlet underneath the arms, dusting his knees off. ] Let's go looking for him.

[onwingsofflame]

W-we'll find Big Brother, like Big Brother always finds me...?

[engel]

And then we'll give him a stern talking to for taking so long in finding you.

[onwingsofflame]

No! No yelling at Big Brother...! I don't want anyone yelling at Big Brother anymore...

[engel]

No one is going to yell. I just wish to talk with him like civil adults.

[onwingsofflame]

No making Big Brother feel bad... 'cause... 'cause it's not Big Brother's fault...

[engel]

...if that is what you want. I believe he should feel bad for misplacing you.

[onwingsofflame]

N-not Big Brother's fault...

[engel]

..no, I suppose it is not.
