PROMPT: June 3rd - Digital Devil Saga, Roland: utter shock - "Jesus Christ!"

And Then They Were Six

"Oh Christ. Jesus. Christ." Roland wills his hands not to shake as he unshackles his second in command from one of the Society's surgical tables. Between the alcohol withdrawal, Indra, and the shock of seeing what has been done to him, however, it's quite a tall order.

Adil's skin is still pale and clammy when he slips an arm under his shoulders, and his eyes are glassy, slightly unfocused. Roland knows that look. He's learn it the hard way. He bites down on his lip as he lightly presses his fingertips on the black mark over Adil's heart; deep crimson tendrils immediately crawl all over Adil's bare torso. Adil shudders and doesn't say anything, gaze trailing away.

We have to get you something to eat, Roland almost says, but he finds his throat is too tight to let the words out.

Instead, he just clings to Adil, Adil whose only reward for his unwavering loyalty to him was a beast in his head who would never be quiet again, and he curses himself tenfold.
