[devoutish]

But you still don't want to.

[bywolves]

I don't particularly want to be around anybody at the moment, no.

[devoutish]

Are you feeling it too?

[If he is, Alfie figures he'll know what he's talking about.]

[bywolves]

... Yes. [ Royce leans against the railing of the staircase, flexing his gloved fingers. ] It doesn't belong to me. It's from an outside source.

[devoutish]

Mm. Remembering that doesn't help much, does it.

[bywolves]

No, it doesn't.

[ A pause, and then Royce comes back down the stairs to settle close to wherever Alfie is. ]

[devoutish]

If I could put Emily on the bed, and put myself between her and the door--

[He cuts himself off. Realistically, it probably wouldn't help much. All it would do would be to provide false comfort.]

[bywolves]

Wouldn't do much against anything but anomalies. [ Can't stop the pessimism train, Alfie. ]

[devoutish]

I'd put myself in the path of an anomaly for that kid.

[bywolves]

I would too.

[devoutish]

Stay with us, mate. Don't let this split us up.

[bywolves]

Tifa told you I'm leaving. [ Royce shouldn't be surprised. ]

[devoutish]

I told her we'd track you down if you did.

[bywolves]

[ Well, that makes him bristle. ] You wouldn't find me.

[devoutish]

Would you really leave?

[bywolves]

I don't see another option.

[devoutish]

Why?

[bywolves]

[ See, all of his reasons sound stupid to say out loud. ]

I'm not going to make things worse for her.

[devoutish]

Tifa or Emily?

[bywolves]

Both of them.

[devoutish]

Arguing with us is good for Tifa. Makes her stronger.

[bywolves]

I'm tired of doing it. She's never going to change her mind and I won't change mine.

House was kind to Emily, and she chewed me out for hurting him. The way she spoke about it was just like -- [ Stop. Stop right there. ] I'm tired of being scolded. So I'm leaving.

[devoutish]

You can't do that to her.

[bywolves]

Do what.

[devoutish]

Leave.
