I'm okay. Or I will be. I mean, I'm not in danger or anything. But I screwed up, Aunt Cass. I really, really screwed up. [He takes a half step back from her, but his eyes are sad, not in any way fearful.] I don't think this is something that can be fixed. But I'm so, so glad you're okay. Like I said, it's been a while.

let's just pretend this isn't super late SORRY

[Oh, she just wants to hug him until all the pain somehow goes away. Cass can't stand seeing her nephew like this. It's almost like Tadashi's death all over again - she had to watch Hiro go through that terrible, terrible loss, unable to really help him. She had tried, of course, but nothing had really worked.]

Oh, Hiro... please don't shut me out. I'm here for you, okay? I don't care what you've done, or what you've been through. I'm still your aunt and I love you so much.

It's fine, real life comes before RP. :)

Aunt Cass, I love you too. And I know you love me. But I - I - [Breathe. In, out. Soon enough this will be over and he can slip back into his new identity and away from the people he just keeps hurting. This will hurt her too, but it'll keep her away from him, so none of his stupidity ends up resulting in her getting tangled up in the superhero world. He can't let her die.

The words are still forced out through a barely repressed sob:] I killed someone. I killed the man who killed Tadashi, because I wasn't thinking right. I'm not safe to be around. I'm not - I'm not who I used to be.

And I am so, so sorry.
