Kasawa Lanford:
The Elder had been trying to snap both Phineas and Anise out of their grief, but was finding it difficult, though he fully understood why. He stopped briefly and knelt down, then spoke softly them. "Andy wouldn't want you two to sit here and solk over him," the elder said, "he'd want you to move on with your lives and to keep going," he looked at them, unsure if it had any effect.

Anise had heard it; though she wasn't sure about it. She realized, much to her surprise and grief, that she had true feeling for Andy. What a time to discover... she told herself and shook her head. She slowly got back up onto her feet but she only staggered a bit, Yukita appeared beside her and caught her before the full weight of the situation fell on top of her, causing her to faint. The elder sighed, A sight that no child should see, espically at their age he shook his head and glanced at the medics. "Tend to Andy, take him to the infirmary," he instructed them and looked at Phineas.

Yoko was the one to appear near him, and embraced the young boy. She spoke softly to him in his ear and told him it would be alright, she also told him that while it was alright to grief, grieving to much might cause Andy to tease him in other ways.

Director of Music:
There was silence as the few people who were on the field looked uncertainly at Phineas.  He numbly got up, still staring at Andy, eyes never leaving him.  He heard the Elder, and heard Yoko, but he didn't want to accept it.  There was still time!  Andy wasn't dead!  Andy couldn't be dead.

Phineas struggled to come up with a logical answer.  Being the intellectual he was, he should have known, but that part of him  that was still a child, still yearned for his friend to rise from the dead.  Gripping his cane, his heart felt heavy.

Staring at his friend's anguished face, he couldn't help it.

The next thing he knew, he was crying uncontrollably.

It was the first time Phineas had cried in years.

Kasawa Lanford:
Yoko blinked, as did Yukita. The Elder smiled and embraced Phineas, knowing full well that the kid needed companionship rather than anything else. As he did so, he watched as the medics carefully placed Andy on the stretcher and began to move him to the infirmary. "Let's go," the elder softly said to Phineas.

Yukita turned away from the scene, took one last look, then disappeared from the scene. Yoko took up her role and stayed by Phineas's side.

On the roof, Rin continued to watch, tears rolling down her face.

Director of Music:
Phineas didn't try to struggle as the Elder carefully guided him off the fields.  His mind was roaring at him to not leave Andy behind, but what could he do?  Nothing.  Nothing at all.

But there had to be something.

Everything around him was blurry, his face was streaked with recent tears as he placed one foot in front of the other, needing some kind of distraction.  Some kind of barrier so he wouldn't have to think of this.

The surroundings changed as Phineas went inside.  All he knew was....well...what DID he know? 

In a couple of minutes, the Elder had guided Phineas to his study.  Phineas just stood there motionless, unsure of what to do.

Kasawa Lanford:
Yukita's figure appeared in the dorm used by Anise and her friends; she gently placed Anise onto her bed and covered her up. "Try and sleep," she said softly and glanced around the room, realizing that Rin wasn't around. She sighed and took one last look at Anise before disappearing for a second time.

***

Only to reappear on the roof, she found Rin standing there staring out at the field, which was devoid of all life except for that of a few Elders and upper classmen who were looking over the scene. "You should be with your sister," she said.

Rin glanced at her briefly, only nodding to her presence, she then turned back and looked through the fence and at the distant scene. "I know," she finally said and turned her back and leaned up against the fence. "Yukita... why is this happening?" Rin asked, gazing up at Yukita.

"Hmmm?"

"First our families, then Yoko's friend, then Sakura, and now this.... why are we always having this happen?" said Rin before she turned her head to the side of the fence and watched the scene from the edge of her eye.

Yukita stood there, she couldn't think of an answer, she didn't know the answer as even she was curious as to why Rin and her friends were targetted. "I'm sorry, but I don't know the answer," she finally said.

Rin let out a sigh, but didn't say anything else, instead she walked past her with an upset expression, heading back to her dorm.

"Phineas..." Yoko said and gently guided Phineas over to the sofa. "Go ahead and sit down, rest please, ok?" she said softly. "Let your mind rest, or else the events of today might overwhelm you," she added.
