Jyushimatsu knew he probably shouldn’t have been so… eager, especially considering what was at stake. But he honestly couldn’t. That’s just how he was. He had to put that positive spin on the events going on around him or it would just drag him down too.

“Well, let me protect you for once!” he replied, a quiet laugh leaving him despite the lack of humor in his tone. He scooted forward and pressed their foreheads together. He had only just gotten here and he could already see how hurt the elder was. But that was fine, because Jyushimatsu could take care of them both. He was stronger than other people who might wanna hurt either of them- he was sure!

“No you aren’t– I love you how you are, Niisan~” he replied, kissing his forehead this time. “We just gotta figure this thing out so we can go home together!”

[☁] – The gesture was appreciated and Kara could feel himself relax into the others embrace. Somehow, even though Jyushi didn’t fully understand what was going on (or did he?), he always had a calming aura surrounding him. Kara didn’t say anything when Jyushimatsu sad it was his turn to protect the elder. There really was no point in arguing with him, not once he set his mind to do something. 

Foreheads pressed together, just like old times when one of the brothers was trying to console another. ah, Jyushimatsu was too kind. “And I love how you are, my darling younger buraza.” Even whipped and in pain he can still be painful. The kiss to his forehead caught him a bit off guard and when Jyushimatsu pulled back Kara couldn’t stop his hand from tenderly touching that spot. 

Jyushimatsu had to protect him, at least somehow. He could see that his brother had already been hurt, and it stung him to think about that. Karamatsu may have been older, but t wasn’t by long. Plus, they were brothers, and Jyushimatsu was more than willing to give up some of his own comfort and time to make sure that nothing else hurt Karamatsu. Not without a fight from him beforehand anyways.

Jyushimatsu stopped when he continued, and the look on his face said that he had not known it was more than just them there. Well, of course he didn't, he could barely work his handunit for some reason. When Karamatsu suddenly turned to asking something of him the younger blinked a few times, snapping out of whatever little trance of thought he had fallen into and instead staring quietly for a moment, as if thinking.

“I can’t find my room.”

The yellow-clad brother tapped the female gently on the shoulder, pouting visibly, his usual smile gone for the moment, if only because of his frustrations.

      She was still highly wound up from the events that had happened earlier in the day, and though she’d wanted nothing more than to stay by Karamatsu’s side and offer her help in any possible way that she could, it was getting close to night time. Not only would it be dangerous to be out and about once that had started, but staying with him would cause trouble–falling asleep anywhere other than your own room was against the rules. As if thinking about this very fact summoned the other, she jumps in surprise at the tap on her shoulder, and the sudden “I can’t find my room.”

      Turning sharply, she focuses on who had tapped–ah? Who was this? Why did he remind her of Kara–…oh, right. He looked exceptionally similar, but there were features that defined him from his brother–or, she assumed this was one of the brothers he’d mentioned. Maybe it would be best to check?

He had been sleeping with five other people his whole life, and the concept of sleeping alone had him more than a little unnerved. It didn't help that he knew at least one of his siblings was nearby, but that he couldn't be around them at night. He had to keep reminding himself of the rules here, because he sure as hell was having a lot of issues following them already.

When Karamatsu seemed to recognize him the younger grinned again, face lightning up. He was okay! That made him feel so much better! Or, it would have if he didn’t start talking about pain. He had a flare of what could only be described as rage, and his smile faltered again when Karamatsu hid his face against the younger’s chest. He gave him a quick, tight hug before pulling back, waving his arms over his head enthusiastically.

“You are here, but I am too! i’ll protect you, Niisan! Don’t worry!” he chirped, either unaware of what exactly went on here or uncaring.

[☁] – Oh dear sweet Jyushimatsu, you were the only one of the siblings who didn’t really deserve this hell. Karamatsu relaxed into the hug, wishing it lasted longer when the fifth Matsu pulled away. The second eldest held his head up to look at his younger brother. How could he be so care-free when they were surrounded by people who were willing to kill for freedom and animatronics that wanted them dead in any way they could get away with?

“Jyushimatsu…It’s supposed to be me who protects his younger brothers, not the other way around.” How was he supposed to do that though when he was on the ground writhing in pain? Giving a pained grunt, Karamatsu sat up, putting all of his weight on his left hip and his hands. 

Jyushimatsu knew he probably shouldn’t have been so... eager, especially considering what was at stake. But he honestly couldn’t. That’s just how he was. He had to put that positive spin on the events going on around him or it would just drag him down too.

He was stronger than other people who might wanna hurt either of them- he was sure!

“…Niisan?”

[☁] – For a moment Karamatsu opened his eyes, unfocused and blinking, as if trying to understand where he was. Once he recognized Jyushimatsu in front of him he moved quickly and hugged his younger brother around his waist. “Jyushimatsu! Thank god I had a horrible dream where I was trapped with murderous animatronics.” The second oldest buried his face in Jyushimatsu’s sweater. “Jyushimatsu I…I was in so much pain…they….”

When Karamatsu seemed to recognize him the younger grinned again, face lightning up. He was okay! That made him feel so much better! Or, it would have if he didn’t start talking about pain.
