location: her apartment

There were no words left to be said. Who he was at his core died with his brother earlier tonight. The one he had always sworn to protect. Malachi always thought of himself as someone good in an emergency, because he always went into action. Feelings will come later, he knew, but for the first time in his life, he just... stood there. He didn’t do anything, didn’t say anything, didn’t move, didn’t feel. Nothing made sense anymore, but a small voice in his head reminded him not all was lost. Lany. Mal might not have protected both his siblings, but he still had one, and like hell was he going to lose her too. Especially not to grief. He couldn’t be there anymore, and after making sure Lu was safe with her sister, after dropping Ari off at the hospital to be with Clem, Mal drove straight to his sister’s apartment. “It’s me,” he called out before using his spare key, immediately wrapping his arms around his sister as soon as he saw her. 

Malachi: where are you?

Mal: he's big mad at me rn
