[flameandpassion]

[There is a pause before the girl that was in a dozen pieces begins to speak. Her voice is quiet, free of the normal conviction and bravado that she would normally have in such a situation.]

Tell me where I'm needed.

[She has no right to call the shots when this is half her fault.]

[That requires a longer silence and a quieter:]

John Mandrake and I summoned them.

[hyuugahime]

... Why?

[flameandpassion]

Because we were --

[Her voice cracks slightly and she stops to get a grip.]

-- we were stupid enough to think we could change this world for the better.

[hyuugahime]

... I don't think that's the stupid part, Hino-san.

[flameandpassion]

[She doesn't react to the slightly more upbeat statement. She's simply quiet.

She should have known better than to trust optimism over her own sense of intuition.]

[hyuugahime]

[Believing the best is not stupid, Rei. Hinata would never say that. The summoning part, though? Yeah.]

Where are you?

[flameandpassion]

Castiel brought me to his -- safehouse... thing.

[hyuugahime]

Then get some rest before you head out again.

[flameandpassion]

... I will.
