Sasuke!

[She doesn't hesitate on running to wherever he is and if he's behind a closed door, she doesn't bother even knocking before barging in and kneeling next to where Sasuke is. Sakura places a gentle hand on his back, but doesn't move in for more contact for the moment. She'll ease into it since he's so fragile at the moment.]

You need to calm down...try to take a few deep breaths. Everything is going to be fine, I promise.

[Hitsugaya doesn't know what to do anymore. He's heard it nonstop since he dug Sasuke out of that grave. He doesn't even know what it means. All he knows is that something is wrong - really, truly wrong - and nothing he does seems to fix it.

He hasn't left the room, and he won't until Sasuke is okay again. But he has only felt this useless once before in his life, and at least then he had been dying, so he hadn't had all this time to think about it.

He didn't speak up until they were alone again. Even then, it was only one word, perhaps testing to see if Sasuke was even listening.]

Sasuke.

Sasuke--

[This... seriously pisses Lance off.

It is one thing for seasoned soldiers to kill each other for their own enjoyment. It is quite another to pull children into harm's way for their own sick purposes.

So, there is the softest exhale, a release of that anger, and then, in a very soft tone that only Jasmine and Will would recognize as Lance's "I am really angry but I'm going to keep myself civil" tone:]

Tell me your name.

[Lance knows it, but he wants to hear it.]

Sasuke... Calm down.

You need to snap out of it. Whatever you saw or felt it wasn't real.

[Raven's voice is firm but it has a certain gentleness to it as well. She understands. She knows what Lucifer is capable of for she has experienced it before.]

No, little nephew... you're an Uchiha.

[Gently;] Whatever you're sorry for, your apologies will be accepted and all will be forgiven. Try to breathe, Sasuke. You're too young to succomb to the family madness just yet.
