[Predictably, Hana's support group seek him out the moment each of them learn about Hoshi's departure. Ryu, Jinx, Sandy, Tiffany and Yu are all looking for him.]
[Well, he's not looking for them. He's far too busy trapping himself in the space between Hoshis old bed and the wall. It's a very tight squeeze and not all together comfortable but he soon finds comfort in the stability of the wall against his back and the scent of the covers pressed to his face.]
[Closes his eyes in a vein attempt to shut out everything, trying to trap himself within this moment where it feels his aunt could just walk in from work at any moment, complaining about how tired she was after a long day.]
[Eventually Tiffany gets up to go make dinner and Yu apologizes but she has to go look for her dad. Jinx gets her to promise to take Lily with her though so she won't go getting into trouble...hopefully. Sandy, Ryu and Jinx remain]
[Sensing movement, his eyes flutter open briefly to spy them leave. He makes a small noise of pain after them as they leave him, the sense of abandonment gnawing at his stomach, glancing about the room with pain filled eyes before withdrawing into himself again.]
[Without more warning then that, and surely without any trouble given his size. Ryu reaches down and scoops Hana out of his little hiding place setting him in his lap]
[He doesn't feel older. He doesn't even look it when he turns his head upwards, eyes locking with Ryus. The same eyes a much younger Hana had met him with years ago, when his parents had set off, leaving their confused infant of the arms of his surrogate mother, gazing up at a younger Ryu with saddened eyes, unable to understand why his parents where no longer there.]
They were taken but they're not gone. They're waiting for us in our world. And if they could see how you're acting right now what do you think they'd say?
[Jinx is very clearly worried about this but just sitting nearby because...well how many times has she tried and failed to comfort Hana when people are sent home?]
You know better then that. You know they had no say in when they'd get sent home. They were so happy to have you here, to have met you and spend time with you they never would have willingly left this world without you.
I know what it feels like to have parents who don't give a damn about you!
I know what it's like to feel abandoned.
And I've known your family longer then you've even been alive! To think they would willingly turn their backs on you is an insult! And you're old enough now to know better.
If you're going to get pissed off, at least be pissed at the right person!
[All the noise has brought back Tiffany and Sandy peeking in from the doorway nervously]
[Ryu takes the hit like a brick wall and immediately grabs Hana by his shirt and throws him to the ground, this makes all the girls gasp and Tiffany cries out in protest and fear]
No YOU shut up and listen to me! Listen to the people who care about you and are hear to tell you when you're acting stupid!
[Finally and only now gives him that silence he's been screaming about. But he doesn't move. He continues that burning stare, his eyes boring into Hana's daring him to try and argue against the truth.]
[And despite all the tough love...Ryu scoops him up into his massive arms and holds him close, no more words. Just this simple action to show he's not mad, he still loves his little brotherlike Hana.
[And with that Jinx, sandy and Tiffany all come in, Sandy's even carrying Men and they surround him each touching him, rubbing his back, pressing into him]
