kirito
victor of the 70th hunger games
Hours. Hours after hours waned on while Kirito and Katelyn alike sat waiting, panicking, worrying. Eight days and Kirito couldn't help but feel as though it had been eight years since he had last seen Harbinger flying over the horizon aboard a hovercraft. Now his once mentee was just several doors away under some of the strictest security in the entire Capitol and Kirito felt further away now than he had before. Kirito knew he was easily a worry wort but for this moment he couldn't help but let his nerves cripple his every thought. For all he or Katelyn knew Harbinger could have snapped under the pressure. For all he or Katelyn knew Harbinger could be perfectly fine, but then again Kirito knew he wouldn't be.
Memories of Kirito's own past locked away within these very white stained walls bubbled up as his fingers twiddled uselessly in his lap. He could clearly remember the vivid nightmares that accompanied him both in his sleep and in his waking. He could remember the screams that constantly echoed through his ears even though they weren't his own. He remembered the terrifying lights and the peculiar voices. He even remembered fist waking to realize he was alive and hating himself for it. Kirito couldn't help but imagine Harbinger would be the same. Harbinger was a beacon of kindness and strength but an event like this can purge and damage light even as strong as his. It was a torture Kirito knew all too well considering he underwent the very same torture just one long year ago.
Off to Kirito's side he couldn't help but wonder how Katelyn was handling the stress of the never ending wait. Kirito figured that she too must be reliving events far too horrific for words to describe. All the pain and devastating realization that happens in this place is far too much for anyone to handle whether they were the Queen of Snow, the King of Time, or the King of the Celtic. In this place they were all nothing more than scared teenagers with death itself thrown upon them in the form of twenty three broken souls. In this place the Capitol placed its iron talons deep in your body as it calls for you as its newest puppet. In this place children undergo their final transformations into victors, a metamorphosis many would never wish to undertake,
A chilling warmth pierced Kirito's left shoulder as he turned slightly to see the Capitol proclaimed Lust Triangle standing just beside him. Even through the year Kirito hadn't found a way to shake these vivid hallucinations, but then again he wasn't sure he wanted to. He felt that with them all constantly arising that they kept him anchored to this world. Without them Kirito felt as though he would be drifting endlessly on with nothing left to live his life for. So with a tender smile he dipped his head to the girl with the heart of a Lyon, to the girl with one eye that saw everything, and to a girl who was the Capitol's favorite gangster. They were all souls taken for his own life, but they were also souls who gave him the purpose to live. Kirito only hoped that Harbinger would be able to find the same peace as well within his own cataclysmic strife.
Finally Kirito forced himself for his spiralling thoughts and he turned his attention fully towards Katelyn he he realized was sitting rather stiffly. Gently Kirito reached his hand over and locked his fingers with her's.
"Hey don't worry," Hypocrite. "Whatever happens I will be right here beside you every step of the way. We will both help him no matter what. Just like you helped me."
Suddenly movement by the door drew Kirito quickly to his feet as several doctors walked out from the guarded door. Not a single word was spoken but just a simple nod from the doctor was all Kirito needed to begin quickly walking towards the door. However just as his fingers wrapped around the cold metal handle Kirito felt himself freeze as panic sudden rushed through his veins. All Kirito's thoughts of how terrible things could be suddenly came viciously back to the front of his mind. However one look at Katelyn who responded with a slight nod gave Kirito the will he needed to open the door. As long as he had her support and he gave her his they could do anything. Hell they gave Harbinger the support he needed before the Capitol had intervened that is.
Kirito felt his heart racing quickly as he walked over to the side of Harbinger's bed. All the wires connected to Harbinger's body and the medicated look that was etched onto his face were all too familiar. All the mixed emotions Harbinger must be feeling made Kirito nearly want to just hug the giant lug yet he figured that probably wouldn't help. Before Harbinger had been shipped off to nearly certain death he had learned quite a bit about him. Kirito didn't have a single doubt Harbinger was upset with Annora's death, then again who was? But after all he had been the one to specifically ask for her safety. Kirito and Katelyn did their best with giving Annora the supplies she needed but in the end Someith was just all too strong.
Finally after several moments of heavy silence Kirito let his voice ring out in a regular tone to Harbinger as he felt his feet shuffling nervously against the floor.
"Hey Harbinger, how are you holding up? I know things can be rather rough during this time. I also know you must be filled with an immeasurable amount of emotions so whatever you need to or want to say to us go ahead. Just know we are here, and we always will be from now till the very end."

yet every Key has its own cost.
