"I can't believe he's two years younger than I am," I heard Omi's voice call from outside the door as he spoke with the rest of Weiss. I wondered if they knew I could hear them. They created music from their disputes, a continuous circle with Omi's insistence as the chorus. "He acts as old as Aya…"

"He's wrong, though, Omi, that makes him less mature than you," Youji's voice added.

"I can't blame him," Ken's words echoed through the hall until all fell silent. Maybe they realized I could hear it.

I waited with my breaths passing heavily through my chest. My eyes slowly closed and I wondered why the world didn't tremble as that silent spread like an infectious disease. It crawled through my mind, stomping on my brain before it slipped out like a liquid, bringing all intelligence with it.　　The words never continued, halted for an eternity just by Ken's murmured speech. I curled up, looking over my knee as though all was on the outside world and I was a test within a jail. I just wanted to sleep a little longer…hold onto the blankets a little more closely. It sounded nice…and so warm…

"You know we don't get nice things," Schuldig's voice entered my mind.

It had happened. I had spent all my time hoping that Schuldig would give me just a little more time…just enough time to finish my own mission, but that seemed vaguely impossible at that point. I looked up at the ceiling, questioning its presence in hopes that maybe the voice would prove to have been a composition of my insanity.

"Nagi, you can stay there for now, just don't forget the past and more importantly…don't die," he instructed in a stern voice that would have caused Nagi to laugh if he had been any other person.

"I won't die for a while longer, so don't worry, you still don't need to pay."

His laugh echoed in my mind for a few brief moments until it faded as he left. It was so unnerving, dripping with honesty with each drop. If someone wanted to hear something real, I suppose they'd just listen to Schuldig on one of his more sadistic moods. It was enough to break the fragile filaments of the mind.

"Nagi…" the timid voice of the youngest Weiss assassin called as he opened the door with the other three behind him. "What are you blaming on Ken?"

I looked at each of their faces in silence, wondering how they wanted me to answer. I hadn't done much lying yet, and I didn't intend to do it unless it was necessary. I looked over at Ken one last time until my eyes landed on Omi once again with, my lips opening slightly as they prepared to speak…to tell Omi and the others what Weiss had done…but somehow I just couldn't. Some moral blockade had been constructed within me that would keep me from verbalizing the sins of Weiss as well. However…I couldn't let that block my path…

"He…killed them," I murmured at last, my hands clutching the sheets with every frame and other glass object snapping immediately under the grown pressure. "So I was hopeless…"

They all seemed to be in some sort of pain, stepping away from me in complete shock. I don't know what they were surprised about, it had already been known I was a telekinetic. The fact I broke objects was just another well known fact of life. Especially when I was upset…and I had lost control of that fine net I had formed around every feeling I had ever gained, just to shield out those emotions, filter the good and bad which ultimately left me with nothing. There were no good emotions besides the lull.

"Calm down, Nagi…" Youji muttered in a strained voice.

Now I understood…they were in pain… I was hurting them, and I didn't even mean to. They started to grab their chests, falling carefully down to the ground in such agony. I remembered that agony from somewhere…the birds when they fell to the ground and started twitching. I hadn't come there for that… I came for a better purpose, something honest…not angry.

I stared at the space around me, finally regaining control while watching the last of the glass clatter to the ground in broken shards. The Weiss members looked up at me until the moment Aya crossed the room, wielding a sword to my throat. I looked up at him without a response, even as he grabbed onto my hair and stared down at me with the same unmoved expression. I could feel the sharp edge cutting my slightly, but not moving to kill.

"Sorry," I muttered before turning my head to the side. "It makes me too angry…I lose control. Let's not speak of it anymore."

Aya didn't move. He turned my head back to the previous position where he could stare down at my face with his cruel expression. He watched me, and I, in turn, watched him back. I watched each moment his chest raised and fell, and the way his arms trembled slightly from it all. I closed my eyes, letting out one more polite laugh and waited to see if he'd finish it.

"Lose control again and I won't hesitate," he stated firmly.

"Understood," I replied, watching again as he released my hair and pulled away from me. Something was different, to say the least.

Notes: Thank you again, Misura~! Your reviews always make me so happy X3 Haha, you've been deprived of my whore Nagi, huh? O.o; Sokay, I like OGi too ^^ I just…let them all take a few pit stops on the way there XD *cackles* *runs off* right, going to school, won't be late ._. I hate Thursdays, I have to wake up really early then go to school really early ._. I usually start second period, not first ._. Die, Thursdays, die… *stops rambling and goes to school* Whee, back, and I corrected an evil typo I made X3 (I don't usually read what I write, but I find the funniest things when I do XD) Bombay~! Thank you so much ^^ Your English is always so good so I don't know why you say it leaves you ._. Thank you so much for reading it ^.^ DivineAngel~! I think with the way Schwarz is portrayed throughout the series, it's not like Nagi's been able to do much independent thinking, and given the people he lives with, I doubt he'd be able to avoid their thoughts joining his. Even Crawford tells him not to forget the goal when he tried to save Tot ^^; I think it'd take a lot more than just affection to remove years of mind-altering experiences ^^ *points to drama cd* from what I understood of this (my Japanese is really bad ._.; )…the whole Ken thing with the sister and Natsuki happened and Crawford did call him hopeless for anyone that was wondering X3 (I felt like doing something more than just whore Nagi…) Thank you so much for the reviews; I appreciate it with my whole heart ^^
