Gilbert Junior's POV

As Isa and Uncle and I, we arrived back in Czechoslovakia and Uncle and Isa both looked at me. "Gilbie? Are you ok?" Uncle asked me. But I was too hurt to talk and much to tired, My ribs where broken and so was my arm and I had many cuts on my neck and face from Belarus taking her knife to me and cutting me up as torture. I also felt sick and feverish from sitting in a cold cell. "Gilbert Junior. Come with me and I will get you a clean uniform and run a bath for you. "Aunt Slovakia said. Ja..." was all I could say. I was feeling very sick.

Lelouch's POV

I watched GJ follow Slovakia and I knew why he didn't respond to me... He was scared too. "Brother, after GJ is cleaned up we will have to mend his wounds." Isa said looking at me. "Yes... I know. Isa... You think GJ is now mentally cracked?" I asked my sister walking in the house with her as we were coming from the casket we had put Prague's body in. "I believe so Brother...He has seen so many of his loved ones die. His Mother...His Father...and now Luka..." Isa and I then had some tea and I asked her about what Russia had done to her. "I am fine Brother...Russia was too busy hurting Luka and GJ to deal with me..." Isa said as she sipped her tea. "Uncle...Isa... I am ready...Ow..." I heard GJ coming towards us. "You got cut up pretty bad and your arm is broken..." Isa put medicine on the cuts and bandaged them and his arms and made a sling to hold the broken one and then as I looked at my nephew... I remembered Prussia...My Bruder... I had broken my promise to keep him safe and unharmed..." I look like a Mummy from Egypt..." GJ said. "Well you should be able to heal up soon" Isa said and she went upstairs to her room and then GJ's red-colored eyes looked into my blue ones. "Uncle... I am sorry about Prague..." GJ said. "I know GJ...I know... I am not angry with you... You tried to save him but it didn't go as well as we planned..." I said. GJ's small body then lay down next to where I was sitting. "Uncle...Will you tell me about when you and my dad and Uncle Ludwig where kids?" GJ asked. And I smiled. "Sure." I said.

End of POV

"You see Gilbie; your uncle once ended up in bed for many months because he was an idiot and ran into battle." He took out a small doll "It even took him years to recover." He looked over at his brother "He still hasn't recovered fully from the incident." He slowly gave the doll to the albino boy, fixing the cloth hat "He almost lost his life, and if it wasn't for your father, Ludwig would be in a casket." He wiped his tears with a tissue "At least I didn't lose you too." He cuddled the boy, yawning. "That is why France is a bastard" He fell asleep.

Isa watched her brother from afar, no her adopted brother, the dear Lelouch. She looked down cupping the younger boy's cheek in her hand, feeling his soft albino skin.

"If only I could ease your pain."

~ The next day~

Isa and Gilbert Junior where having lunch in Isa's rose garden until Lelubird and Berrie fell from the sky. "Lelubird! Berrie! Are you ok?" GJ asked. Lelouch came out of the house and saw Lelubird had fallen on the ground. "Isa, Gilbie, What happened?" Lelouch asked. "Brother, look! Lelubird dropped a note!" Isa yelled.
