The point of no return
Who: Eiji and Ankh, Open portion HERE
When: October 7, night, continues for 46 hours
Where: Shopping district
What: The power of the music of the night
Warnings: Standard monster-fighting violence, addiction (thanks to the monster), some self-harm/semi-suicidal undertones to conversation
There is a phantom who's been singing late at night in the shopping district. And this angel of music has been drawing a lot of monsters. And Eiji being Eiji, he can't just leave this alone.
A flash of light from LaToraBatta doesn't do much to distract the monsters, and they begin aggressively beating Eiji now that he's closer to wherever the singing is coming from.
"Ankh, I think I'm going to need a combo for this one," he calls back, trying to block while at the same time slashing at another monster. "There's too many!"

You mean care like when you killed yourself to save me?
And it earns Eiji a bop on the shoulder; not hard, but probably enough to hurt considering he's not in great condition already. And then Ankh looks away, hiding his expression. He wishes Eiji would stop making such a big deal out of that.
"That Medal was already broken back then, anyway." Something Eiji should have known, either because he saw it or because Hina told him when she didn't have to keep secrets anymore. It was an easy decision to make when he wasn't going to hold up much longer regardless.

"I..." He hadn't known. Hina hadn't told him, maybe specifically to spare him the horrific sense of guilt he feels shooting through him--he should have seen it. He should have known. If he had, he never would have put Ankh into that situation.
It doesn't change much.
"I couldn't risk breaking your Medal more when I tried to bring you back," he finally says instead. "So I tried something I could."

There's a bit of a huff at the explanation. He can't fault that logic, really but... "Why those?" There had to be other medals to experiment on, ones that didn't almost turn Eiji into a Greeed at one point.
no subject
"I didn't know who I might bring back."
Two Ankhs had ended up being born from the Medals. And restoring any others meant risking any of the other Greeed. He would need a way to fix his mistake, no matter what the cost to himself.
"Not that it would have worked. I can't use the destructive power."
no subject
And that aside, he can't really fault the rest of what Eiji said, so he just falls back on his usual standby.
"Tch. Idiot."
no subject
But it's hard destroying Medals, especially when the ones that destroy everything are the ones you're trying to destroy. And when they're not cooperating.
"I didn't know any safe place to hide them. I couldn't tell Mr. Kougami."
