Voltage couldn't feel anything but numbness, but that didn't mean he didn't know from years and years of experiance what his brothers reactions would be. How his brother felt. Perhaps that's what made them so special. Voltage couldn't feel anything, but he could know his brother's emotions without a doubt. Distant eyes would stare up at his brother, squinting and trying to focus before he gave up, dropping his head to rest it against Glacier's shoulder. Thunder crashed, and he didn't flinch. He was stock still, breathing in his brother's familiar scent, it was like his life blood, this scent. But for once, it didn't save the world. It didn't save Voltage from himself.
"When we were young, before we could even understand the world, we promised to care for our siblings. For our brothers and sisters that aren't around, Glacier." He whispered softly, eyes closed. "Where is Serefina? Where is Arcus? Where is Selini? Where is everyone. It's not just Illie I've lost...." He whispered softly, his voice sad and deep. "For the first time in my life I was living for me, just a little bit. I found the love of my life, and started a family, and the second...the second I had decided to be a little selfish, everything fell apart." He'd wince then, shrinking, feeling his lungs fill with lead and pain. "Why does the universe hate me so. Why must the thunder always chase me..." He cried, feeling so down, feeling so....nothing but pain. "I don't know what to do anymore..."
