Nero stares at a spot on the floor as Cassi speaks, trying to digest her words but also feeling themself disassociate. They know if they try, they can easily bring up the memory. Even just hearing Cassi repeat his words makes it feel like the chains are on them again. This is it; they can feel themself start to sink into the darkness as their humanity ebbs away…

Wait. Nero looks up at Cassi, their eyebrows cinching together as they hear her words. Their lips part in surprise, not believing their own ears as the sentiment behind what Cassi says wraps around their shoulders and break the chains binding them. [color=#9B111E]“…You…”[/color] They start to say, struggling to find the right words to respond with. 

[color=f7941d]“Cassi? I just got a call from Detective Costa…”[/color] Nero hurriedly wipes their face free from tears again, pulling the hood of their onesie over their head as the human makes his way downstairs and stumbles across the two of them. [color=f7941d]“Everything… okay…?”[/color] Nic asks, concern showing in his expression and voice.
