Skylar and ryoko don't know what to say so they stay quiet
Then there are some guards taking lh away
Lh: wait can I say something first
Guard: aaron
Aaron: yea

Aaron: yeah well in the end ill end things myself if I have to
Guard: okay get moving
They haul Lionheart away
Then karma walks up
Karma: aaron let's go

Aaron:.... Your right I just....
Karma: remember what you said to lore you have people to protect she's may be gone but we still have people to protect

They take cover from the rain at a pizza place nearby
They're soaked but they go in and rest
Karma: you guys hungry
Everyone:....
Lore: what's with this silence come on
Lore: dammit aaron you're bringing everyone down
Aaron: sorry…..
He stands up and goes out side

She gets up and goes outside
Aaron sees her

Aaron: thanks I'm good just need some time
Skylar: here's something my sister told me "when someone close to you dies you can feel a darkness filling your heart but even though it may be sad to remember the person you have to because they're memories will light up the dark" that's what she said to me when our parents passed
Aaron is looking at her with tears in his eyes
Aaron: thanks for that *deep breath*
He wiped his eyes
Aaron: let's go back inside
They go back in
Aaron seems better

Ryoko and karma: what did you say to him
Skylar: I told him something my sister told me before
Karma: damn good job
Ryoko: I'm sure aaron isn't 100% but he's definitely better
Karma: yeah
They make it back to black point

Aaron is in his room
Everyone else is up in the living room
Karma: what are we going to do
