Chrysander and C look to Noah, holding the wolf mask in his paws as the snow falls softly around him. "He fought so hard... Because he was afraid Rob would be just like him." Noah says as his voice cracks a little, a tear running down his muzzle and landing on the mask. C walks up and holds his son close to his chest. "He was a parent, and as such saw Rob as a child he wanted to protect. A feeling so few outside the Organization he helped build can truly feel the depth of." C says as he rubs Noah's head comfortingly, Noah smiling a little and hugs C tight as the world fades to a snowy white.

G and Archibald help the three into chairs before turning their gaze back to the mask. "Is it safe to view the memories then?" Archibald asks bluntly, slowly poking the mask as if it were a coiled snake ready to bite. Despite the tension in the air, the mask never moved. "The spirit in the mask is calmed, if that's what you're asking." Noah says tiredly as he almost collapses into a chair, exhausted to the point where his breath is ragged. "What's up, kid? You feeling all right?" G asks as he looks to the young husky. "He helped calm the spirit we were fighting." Archibald says with an almost equally ragged breath as his young companion. "There's that word again... Why are you using that word for who was in the mask?" Archibald says, annoyed at having to have left the mask without getting a chance to learn from the battle.

"Well, what else could you call a full fledged personality that had the strength to separate memories from the mind it was once part of then?!" Noah barked at Archibald, clearly more affected by the fight on an emotional level as tears start to drip down his face. "HOW DARE YOU SPEAK TO YOUR EL-" archibald tried to yell at Noah before being cut short by a tap to his nose by Chrysander. "The boy speaks the truth, and in the end he was the one that calmed the anger that almost bested us. One thing I do wish to learn more about though, at a later date of course, is how you became acquainted with the blue king... Much less learn his ability of cryomancy, little blue prince."

The room falls deadly quiet, aside from Noah's sharp inhale before gripping the chair hard enough to make it creak to the point of almost snapping as tears began to trickle down his muzzle. It took a couple seconds for everyone else aside from C, who quickly rushed to his son and embraced him in a tight hug, to realize. "Don't fight it, let it out. Otherwise it will echo inside you and never give your heart rest." Noah wraps his paws around his father as his tears drip onto his father's shirt as the sound of his whimpering echo through the kitchen.

A few minutes of sobbing go by before Noah is calm enough to speak again, looking over to the wolf mask once again before explaining his encounters with the blue king. Chrysander and C listening to every detail as the rays of the sun slowly fade outside. “The last time i saw him, he told me to be strong and use this power to save those i cared about before turning into a snow man and collapsing in front of me.” Noah said weakly as he looks to C. “I wish i could’ve talked about this sooner, but it hurt so much to lose him after all he did for me.” Noah said before C wrapped him into another tight hug. “Pain like that takes time to be able to overcome, a pain we all have felt from work as well as things out of our control.” C said as he nuzzled his son.
