Part 2

They sat still on the floor of the Blue Room with their backs leaning on the bed. Jomy had stopped crying and leaned against Leo.

"Much have happened since I first came here, haven't it?" mumbled Jomy silently.

"Yes" answered Leo simply. He could feel that his friend wasn't completely relaxed, so he didn't want to let go just yet. He hated when Jomy reflected too much on the past, sinking in to depression because of all the painful memories that haunted him. "But all things wasn't bad"

Jomy turned his head, so he could face the other man. He had a puzzled expression on his face. "I got to meet you, didn't I?"

Jomy blushed in reply. He turned his head away, trying to hide it.

"And I you" came a thought to Leo, who smiled at this.

"I don't know what I would have done without your support…" he continued out loud now. "There was so many times when I just wanted it all to end, I never asked for any of this…"

Leo felt sad after hearing this, but at the same time he could understand him.

"But you know… Most of the time I'm happy that Blue interfered with my Adult exam… I'm grateful to have met you all. I miss all of our comrades we have lost during this journey, but it's for them and all our other companions that I'll continue fighting" Leo caught pictures of Karina, Blue, Kim, Harold, Artella, Cobb, Targion and many others leaking from Jomy's mind. "I don't want anything to in vain!"

"You know? Soldier Blue couldn't have chosen a better successor"

At this comment Jomy turned his head towards Leo yet again and smiled weakly. "Thank you"

"Earlier we got a message from Zel-dono. He said that he would meet up with us a scheduled and that he would like to transfer all of the hostages he and the others rescued from the station" Leo said trying to distract Jomy with something in the present and divert him from devilling in the past. At this comment he could feel Jomy's body tense again. He didn't ask why but opened his mind to his friend so that Jomy could feel that he worried about him.

"… my parents are on that station" he whispered so quietly that the words barely found their way to Leo's ears.

"Do you want to meet them?" he asked.

"…" he got no other answer than silence, but he could feel the thoughts that roamed Jomy's mind. Without analysing it further, he loosened his arms that had held Jomy in his embrace, let him go and got up so that he was standing in front of him. "Let's go" he said smiling his encouraging smile. Jomy's face darkened at this.

"…"

"Dalton-san is right you know, they probably still think fondly of you" Leo reached out his hand to help Jomy stand up.

Jomy looked at the hand. "I'm afraid"

"Everyone is afraid sometimes, it's alright" Leo said softly.

Jomy locked at the outstretched hand once again, and then he grabbed it and pulled himself up with the help of his friend. "Let's go find them" he said with resolution.
