Regret, running out of steam, and atonement

[hoboherooo.livejournal.com]

Characters: Eiji and you!
Setting: Floor Four
Format: Action this day, action this night!
Summary: Eiji finally hits the wall from running about this week, and trying to keep away from people until the lights came back on.
Warnings: Angst!


[After a long, grueling climb up the stairs, Eiji stumbled toward the sitting area - he looked like a wreck. Bruised up, small cuts here and there from wandering in the dark. He hadn't slept much - and when he managed, he didn't sleep well. The panicked faces and cries of the kids he'd run across this week had been haunting him, and they still did.

He wanted to do something to work out the frustration - throw a fit, yell, rant...do something, but he was too wiped. Too much time away from his bed had taken a toll on him, and he couldn't move much more.]

[He'd almost made it to the couch when he collapsed, landing halfway on it.]

Luke dropped the subject of their 'keepers' pretty eagerly, it seemed.

"No problem, always happy to help! As long as you're feeling better, of course."
