Diarmuid sits quietly with Suzaku for a long time, before shifting Mac an Chuill out of his lap and moving closer to his brother. He then puts his arms around the other man loosely, offering him a shoulder should he want to lean against it.

He is proud of Suzaku for letting this out, for finally opening up and letting go. It's something he has needed to do, just like Diarmuid himself has needed to face and accept all the darkness within himself. It's not anything to be ashamed of and it's not anything to fear. It just is.

"We are going to make it. This is going to make us stronger in the long run. No matter how much it hurts, we will be stronger for it."
