[Danny had turned on the communicator, planning on asking Sam a question.  But before he can say anything he freezes, staring at something across the room.   His face twists into an expression of complete loss and devastation, even as he jumps jerkily to his feet and screams.]

No!  Mom!  Dad!  Jazz!  Sam!

....I

I did this.  This is all my fault.  I couldn't save you.

Danny-san!

[When that doesn't elicit a response, Youmu stops yelling through the network and takes off.


Some time later, there is a rapping at Danny's window.

I... What? Youmu?

Danny-san, what happened?

[She can't very well speak through glass--but her communicator has been reactivated for this purpose. Youmu's voice is coming most distinctly from that.]

I failed.

Failed what--or who, Danny-san?

I promised. I said I would protect them.

...So much for being a hero. I couldn't even save one person.

Everyone is dead.

[...crap.

Youmu places her hand on Danny's shoulder. It's a bit cold.

...how, Danny-san?

[He doesn't make any motion of recognizing the cold or the hand.]

I failed. I couldn't stop him.

I guess he was right. Maybe some things are inevitable.

[...some things, yes. Death for human beings, for example...but even that had a few notable exceptions.]

Danny-san.

You cannot linger on such things. Mourn, grieve yes--but do not dwell on what has happened.

[He isn't really listening, too caught up in his own dark thoughts.]

This is all my fault. I should have stopped it, should have stopped him.

[Will he listen to a forehead poke? Because that's what Youmu's doing now.]

Are you listening?

You cannot change what has already happened, Danny-san. [Others might, but she leaves that unsaid.] You can spend the rest of your life in self-loathing, or you can move on--and do something about it.

No. I already used up my second chance.
