It hit them hard. They were too late.

"Dammit! Why the hell did he have to go and do that?!" The normally calm Greece cursed.

It had been several days since the incident. Turkey had been growing fast since then. Despite the 'victory' he was rather upset.

"This is all your fault."

The new Turkey made no move to deny it. No move to argue that he had no clue what he had supposeably been doing to his father figure. The guilt was heavy and the question 'why' had been weighing just as heavily on his shoulders. All he had told him is of how he was going to help people. How he was going to be great. There was no way he could have known… Yet it hurt so much to know that he had killed the one who had done nothing but give to him and care for him. All he had done was take. Even after his death there had been a large sum of stored cash to help rebuild and help the people. Notes of advice and who to watch out for. Notes of encouragement and what he had meant to him. Telling him not to dwell on the past. That it was his choice and how he shouldn't feel any guilt over what he had chosen to do.

"What? Nothing to say?"

Turkey just shook his head slowly. What was he supposed to say? He didn't blame anyone for choosing to blame him. Ever so slowly he started toward the stairs.

"Just going to run away? Che."

He looked back. Eyes misted. "You can blame me all you want. You can take it all out on me, but you're not the only one who's hurting. He meant a lot to me too."

Then he continued up. Silence reigned until he reached the room he desired. Curling into the deceased nation's bed with the first book that had ever been read to him, close to his chest he broke down. Wishing desperately that this was all a nightmare and he would magically reappear to reassure him again. To make him treats and tell him stories. To teach him things he had taken for granted before.

Little flashes of memories came and went just fueling his sobbing and grief.

Yeah this one is depressing too... So RPG... Anyone catch that last chapter? RIGHTS of the PEOPLE GROUP... RPG. haha? No? Ok...
