but the loss of cloud and iwatooshi - two people that rondo looked up to above anyone else, two people who he had befriended and come to care for so, so deeply, and aerith, whose kindness and warmth had been a beacon and an anchor in this miserable place every day - is just devastating.
he swallows, tries to force himself not to sob, and just turns his face into alfyn's collar, shaking like a leaf, instead. maybe that's the closest to composure he can really manage. ]
