[He frowns at him, looking worried. Just looking at Eric confirms more of what Shizuo was telling him. It makes his chest ache.]
Um...I wanted...
[Should he ask? If Izumo really is gone, won't that just hurt Eric more? But Izumo can't be gone. He's just...hiding or in trouble. He's still around. He wouldn't just dissappear like everyone else.]
[Ow that hurts, Eric. He stares at the blond for a while before laughing nervously. It's poor attempt to keep his own sprits up. Goten reachs up and scratches the back of his own head.]
S-Shizuo said so too but I know he's somewhere. Izumo wouldn't do that. I just gotta find him. Um, I'm gonna keep looking and I'll even bring him by here when I find him!
[Goten feels awful. He hates this. He wants Izumo back. He doesn't want to see Eric like this...]

Oh...
[ He should move it closer to him when he gets the chance. Just...not right now.
At the question his head dips lower and he grips his sleeves. Did Goten not know yet? Or was he just confirming? ]
Hard to see him...when he's gone...

Mikoto...snapped. Burned his whole temple down. He felt it, Goten...
[ And he should feel it too, right? That whole energy thing...Goten should know better than almost everyone.]
Don't get to choose. Just happens...

Where, huh?

I donno....but I'm gonna look everywhere until I find him!
