Peaking over the windowsill, Kosuke was devastated that he could see no one inside. He turned to go inside and check more closely when something caught his eye. It was a piece of paper, laying on the ground. Curious, the boy picked it up. His frown deepened and tears welled to his eyes as he read it.<br/><br/>Surely, if he possessed the emotion, this is a moment in which the boy would feel a burning anger. However, that was impossible. He compensated with sadness, the closest relative emotion. For a moment, the boy sank against the wall of the cabinet, pulling the letter to his chest and letting the tears stream down his face.<span style="font-style: italic">Why?... Always. Why does everyone always leave?!</span><br/><br/>After a moment, Kosuke went to take the letter to Crowley and the others, hoping they could go together to bring the ranger back. Kosuke was shocked at what happened instead.<br/><br/>The big soldier had greeted him, saying how he'd been worried when he wasn't in bed in the morning. Kosuke apologized and handed him the note as an explanation. As he read, his hands gripped the paper tighter until he was practically crumpling it, then he threw it to the ground. "Damn!" he shouted. "That bastard!"<br/><br/>Kosuke's eyes widened at the display. Crowley was one of the most loyal to the Ranger. What was this all about?<br/><br/>"We have to go bring him back, right?" Kosuke asked meekly.<br/><br/>Crowley turned to him with a tired look. "Let the man rot. He doesn't deserve this village."<br/><br/>After reading the letter, the entire militia seemed to be in agreement. "Well," Kosuke said, offering a slight, sad smile. "Maybe we'll cross paths again sometime."<br/><br/>"You're not going after him?" Crowley exclaimed.<br/><br/>Kosuke smiled. "I'm a<span style="font-style: italic">traveling</span>healer. The crisis here has been averted and it's time I move on anyway."<span style="font-style: italic">I might as well move on in the direction of the Ranger,</span>he added in his head.<br/><br/>After a couple minutes, he was able to convince the soldiers it was time for him to go. The very second he was on the road out of town, he cast a sensory spell.
