I'll be just fine.

[It's... dreamwalking, right? Wouldn't that entail him being asleep too? Or maybe not... Either way, he's determined now. Naoya has had these nightmares for as long as he can remember, which means that he's had them longer still.]

I'll ask some people around who've been here longer than me how to do it. They might know.

[crouching_sin]

They might.

[At least he can hope Kazuya will be subtle about it.]

... You're going to see some very awful things, you know. If you do this. Humanity at its worst.

[belheir]

I've already seen humans do some pretty awful things, but I know. It'll be worse than anything I've seen so far.

[Which is... scary. It's scary that Naoya has gone through such things with no help. No support of his own.

He hates it. He hates it so much, and he has to resist from wrapping his arms around him entirely and hugging him tighter.]

You're not going to scare me off.

[crouching_sin]

[He relaxes slightly, a little soothed by Kazuya's determination. He has to hope it's enough. He's afraid of subjecting his brother to this - but what else can he do? He's constantly on the edge of losing his mind, and he can't do that. He can't allow it, not in this life. Not with Kazuya so close to him.]

I would expect the King of Demons to be brave enough, yes.

[belheir]

It's not about me being the King of Demons. [He replies, shaking his head.]

I'm doing it because you're my family, because it's something I can do to help.

[crouching_sin]

[It was a bad joke, but he pushes that aside. He's not wrong, and wouldn't Naoya do the same for Kazuya?]

[(He would. He couldn't do anything but help Abel - Kazuya.)]

Always the hero, huh? ... Just like in those shows you used to watch. All right, all right.

[In theory he could try to send Kazuya directly into his consciousness like he did with Kuzuryu... but he's not eager to try that. That would be extremely dangerous for both of them.]

[belheir]

[ That seems to get a small chuckle out of him. He's not a hero. He just cares for his friends and family a lot.

Not that he'd turn anyone aside if he could help them, but he does have priorities. ]

You and I both know I can't be a hero. Besides, a red outfit wouldn't suit me.

[crouching_sin]

You never know. You do fit the bill of an antihero, at least. So maybe black.

[He yawns, feeling secure in Kazuya's grasp.]

But... we can design that for you later...

[belheir]

I've already got the black cape, no outdit designing needed.

[ He's not going to argue right now on the fact he doesn't think he's even cut out to be an anti-hero either. Really, he's basically just a villain at this point. ]

[crouching_sin]

Mm.

[He was going to respond, but he's sleepy. He sighs and flops back down, his body going slack.]
