[ for the first time since he's met her, his eyes widen with surprise. something deep within says the words—
she really is kind, isn't she?
just like her.
his shock melts into warmth. tiredly, and yet genuinely, he smiles.
the people here were different. they had homes to return to. they had people they loved, and who loved them in turn. they had hope and above all, something to live for.
he's gone. he will never see the baby he raised as a young boy, the little girl who gave him a reason to keep moving, a reason to keep thinking of the next morning. so much was lost for that will. he hopes that in his dreams tonight, he will see her, feet swinging as she sits on her bed and recounts her dreams to him. weiss will reprimand him, and kaine will swipe his meal from right underneath his nose, and emil will giggle brightly and infectiously enough to raise his spirits. the masked people will welcome them with open arms, and popola and devola will sing in the town square.
...
how pointless, he thinks. how pointless when he doesn't dream anymore to start with.
