[ No Viktor, we did it. Had he been alone, this is exactly the type of situation that may have driven him to enough madness to finally break and give in. All of their lives were spared today. Being pushed to the edge as of lately, this trial wouldn't have needed to do much to bring him to that very dark place. Loyalty. You were there for him and he'll always be there for you.
An audible sigh of relief escapes his pressed lips. Sometimes there aren't words for moments like this, because they have a magical way of speaking for themselves.
Hearing a recognizable voice, Megumi's head spins towards the source, the corners of his lips raise up forming a small rare smile. Noticing the distance, a hand waves, beckoning for Viktor to come closer. I’m glad he’s safe too.
But he can't in good faith accept a thank you. They both needed to get out of this loop, and he sees this as being the only way it would've been possible. It's his duty to use his abilities to help good people. Eyes cast down, Megumi recognizes the silver bell, balled up in the child's fist.
Big crocodile tears swell up in large chocolate colored eyes, as a tiny forearm tries desperately to brush them away. Another quick smirk from Megumi. You can’t trick him, he knows how hard it is to hold back tears. Once the flood gate is open, there is no going back. ]
It's okay to cry.
[ Reaching out, Megumi's hand slowly and tenderly rests on the little one's rounded shoulder, when abruptly, in a state of confusion, the boy’s head pops back up and his eyes dart back and forth around the alley. It’s almost as if he is looking for something or someone. Eyes race between Megumi and Viktor, seeking out a familiar face, but alas none can be found. Eyebrows furrow down as lips form a frown, before finally accepting, he needs an adult. Two doe eyes land on Viktor. ]

Where- where is she? [ Urgency in his tone ]
