Kimiko hardly has time to react when Avery plucks her from her seat. When she’s set back down, she places her hands on Avery’s shoulder, trying to peer around him. She hears Caden suggest that they go inside as she looks up at the sky and the weather change. [color=FFF79A]“Oh gods.”[/color] She murmurs as she realizes this isn’t a normal storm, it’s Cassi.

Nero wishes they could disappear in that moment, the ground will swallow them up. Concrete pelts them but they don’t wince. As Cassi stalks towards them, they don’t move. They deserve whatever the sorcerer will do to them. Nero closes their eyes, accepting their fate. When Caden defends them, they almost push him out of the way. Nero had been right - they are unredeemable. 

Instinctively, Nero wants to stop Cassi from showing Caden, but stops themselves. Better it be Cassi showing Caden the memory this time. They crouch onto the floor, tucking their legs into their arms as they await their death.

[color=F7941D]“I’m not going anywhere.”[/color] Nic says, even as the unnatural storm rolls in. He watches helplessly as Cass roars lie the thunder. It doesn’t take him too long to realize what she must have seen. The story she told him in the car fresh on his mind. 

He knows Cass doesn’t need his protection, but he stays close by anyway. He doesn’t touch Cass as she presumably shows Caden what just happened, but his hands twitch to hold her. Once he’s sure she’s done sharing the vision, he grabs Cass’ hand, gently squeezing it. 

He knows there’s nothing he can say or do to help this situation. As much as Nic wants to take away Cass’ pain and sorrow, he knows he can’t. He hopes, though, that his hand might ground her a little, keep her from hurting her best friend and his lover.
