[ Kotetsu appraised approaches him, obviously extremely worried about Susato, Rex, and Tsurumaru, but right now? His primary concern is Sholmes. After yesterday... this happening...? ]

What's not working...?

[greatdeduction]

...My abilities.

[And then...he pauses. And looks very confused.]

Wait. No. No, I don't...I don't have any abilities...

Sholmes...?

[ He walks over, immediately placing a hand on his cheek. ]

What... kind of ability are you talking about?

[greatdeduction]

[He buries his head in his hand.]

The man I was on that...trip, yesterday. He had abilities. I don't know why I thought...

[ Oh... he moves to pull Sholmes into a hug. Sure, they're kind of in public, but he doesn't care this very moment in time. All he cares about is helping this man. ]

Maybe because you experienced them so strong... What were they...?

[greatdeduction]

[Yeah, he doesn't care at the moment. He's leaning into it.]

I...he. Had abilities that could control stone, glass, plants, and metal. And...I remember using them. Ugh. These memories...what a pain...

[ He gently strokes Sholmes' hair, trying to sooth him. ]

Were you hoping they could help...?

[greatdeduction]

I think I just expected I would have them.

[And a sigh, cuddling into the man's embrace.]

...No luck on your end, no?

I could try listening with my powers, but I'm not sure how much that would help. It'd only be a minute.

But I'm still willing to try.

[ For the moment, though, he's still holding onto Sholmes. ]

[greatdeduction]

Listening? Ah....yes. Like you did for your daughter. It's...alright. Save it.

[Just in case.]

[He seems to be a little comforted, though.]

Just tell me if you want me to. My power is your power.

[ He nuzzled the side of his head. ]

But you know... what you said before was wrong. You do have abilities.

[ He kisses the side of his head. That brain, always going... ]

[greatdeduction]

Mmm.

[A low sigh, as he closes his eyes.]

Are you talking about my grand skills of logic and reasoning?

For starters, that...

[ His voice is soft, keeping his face pressed against his head. ]

You're an amazing man, Sholmes. No matter how this goes, I have faith in you.

[greatdeduction]

...

[The fact that someone believes in him so much is...]

[It makes a warmth spark in his heart, just like it has done so many times at Kotetsu's word.]

[He kisses him gently.]

How could I not believe in your words, with such sincerity? I am amazing because you believe me to be. And that is all I need.

[ Kotetsu softly kisses him back. ]

We all need a light to help us through those darkest times, right? You've always been mine. I won't leave you in the dark, either.
