“Henry, it's because I've been in the deep end that I can't let you do this on your own. I know better than anyone how this will go. You mentioned that you almost lost your friend but guess what? I DID lose one! Remember Bradford? That could've completely been avoided if I wasn't so stupid, and I really don't want to see you make the same mistake and regret it after it's too late.” You say all remorseful about what it could’ve been. “Only when I stopped doing shit on my own and started working as a team did I get results. If you have a good plan then I'd be more than happy to follow that. Or we can make one together. Let's both use each other to the best of our abilities, you don't have to do this alone, man. Learn from my mistakes."
“<span class="mu-i">Fine, I get it, man…</span>” Henry steps back as he mutters to himself. He’s not happy with your response, but his flame slows down. “We’ll figure it out. You don’t have to deal with my shit, you don’t need it.” He feels guilty forcing his issues on you more than anything. This doesn’t solve the underlying issue, but this is workable, right?
“Are you sure? I don’t mind spending time talking.” You can figure this out together!
“Bro, doesn’t matter…” Now Henry is sulking. “We gotta save Billy.”
“If you say so.” You won’t push it. Is this how teachers feel when a student doesn’t cooperate? Nah… It’s the teachers who are wrong. Those damn kissable teachers like Nina and Chio… “Like I said, we can work on a plan that has you in the spotlight.”
“You say you want me to be the main man?” Henry raises his head.
“Sure, why not? I was actively planning on using all of you for this mission anyway.” You nod. The idea is to make this easier on everyone.
This doesn’t exactly light a fire in his eyes, but at the very least the one on his ear remains calm! With this drama dying down a bit, the other members for the operation begin arriving. You’re standing by the main gate to the outside of the subway area. It’s time to discuss the plan!
“Still looking down, Henry?” George continues to be an optimistic force in Henry’s life.
“Yeah, it’s okay. We’ll fix this.” Henry nods to himself.
“<span class="mu-i">Buahehuhihi~ </span>! I’m always ready to help, Master of the Lightsbane! The Madam of Shrubbery was wise to you call for this mission.” Oliver is dropping the whole shtick on all of you. You thought this shit was dying down, but no, Oliver is just a weird guy.
“<span class="mu-i">Kyohohoho~</span>! So you’re the one carrying such a burden, eh? Master Major has talked plenty about you! Our alliance will be magisterial, gentlemen.” Lord Gargoyle is ready to save Billy from the claws of Carmella! The Clawmellas!
…
Wait, who the fuck is this guy…?
