I can tell. If it were mechanical, I could fix it, but Allen's innocence . . . it's not something that has washers and screws.

Re: [Pavo]

[pierrotdetous.insanejournal.com]

. . .

Aah. . . no, you're right.

It actually got so low once that I couldn't sync up at all. I don't remember what fixed it yet. But I remember what the problem was. . .

Re: [Pavo]

[roadtothesky.insanejournal.com]

What was it?

Re: [Pavo]

[pierrotdetous.insanejournal.com]

It was totally broken down. I was completely defeated.

Re: [Pavo]

[Looks down at his creaky, cracked hand, turning it over in hers, thumb brushing the skin beside the cross.]

After that . . . was your connection stronger, do you think?

Re: [Pavo]

[pierrotdetous.insanejournal.com]

[his hand twitches a bit, but he doesn't pull it away]

. . . After? Yeah. . .

The way it winds together with me, it wasn't like this before. It was just attached at one point, right here. [taps below his deltoids] I think as it is now, it's done evolving. . . I survived it being "destroyed" before, but I don't know if I'd be able to just separate from it again.

Maybe that's why I can still synchronize, even though my will is nothing like I once was and it's all the way down to fifty-one like this.

Re: [Pavo]

[roadtothesky.insanejournal.com]

Your will?

Re: [Pavo]

[pierrotdetous.insanejournal.com]

Ah, yeah. It has a lot to do with that. An exorcist's will and heart. . . the Innocence can refuse it.

Or default it.

Re: [Pavo]

[roadtothesky.insanejournal.com]

What does 'default' mean?

Re: [Pavo]

[pierrotdetous.insanejournal.com]

Just that. The failure to fulfill the promise you made as an exorcist. Below zero synchronization, probably.

Re: [Pavo]

[pierrotdetous.insanejournal.com]

I only saw it once. . .

I hope I never see it again.

Re: [Pavo]

[roadtothesky.insanejournal.com]

If that's the result of failure . . . would success do the opposite?

Re: [Pavo]

[pierrotdetous.insanejournal.com]

You mean normal synchronization?

Re: [Pavo]

[roadtothesky.insanejournal.com]

[Shakes her head.]

Keeping your promise.

This little one . . . it's your heart and will, isn't it? That it responds to. If it can refuse . . . isn't 'synchronization' when it accepts?

Re: [Pavo]

[pierrotdetous.insanejournal.com]

. . .

Yeah. . .

Though there's still a lot I don't get. . . it's acted completely on its own, too.

Re: [Pavo]

[roadtothesky.insanejournal.com]

Here? Or in your memories?

Re: [Pavo]

[pierrotdetous.insanejournal.com]

Both.

Re: [Pavo]

[roadtothesky.insanejournal.com]

So . . . it has its own will, too.

Re: [Pavo]

[pierrotdetous.insanejournal.com]

Yeah. Though what it wants the most I think, isn't here.

Re: [Pavo]

[roadtothesky.insanejournal.com]

Purpose . . . isn't it?

Even if you're partners . . . the world it belongs in is far away.

Re: [Pavo]

[pierrotdetous.insanejournal.com]

. . . Yeah.

[takes a deep breath]

That low, huh. . .

Re: [Pavo]

[roadtothesky.insanejournal.com]

[Lets go of his hands to lean up, wrapping her arms around his shoulders instead,]

Re: [Pavo]

[pierrotdetous.insanejournal.com]

. . .

Feathers?. . .

Re: [Pavo]

[roadtothesky.insanejournal.com]

It's a number to help you fix it. Not to make you sad.

. . . maybe it's just a feeling, but . . . even if it looks worse outside, somehow . . . this little one doesn't seem like the part that's unstable.

It's Allen himself. Just . . . the cracks are inside, instead.

Re: [Pavo]

[pierrotdetous.insanejournal.com]

. . .

Aah, I know. That's how it works.

I'll figure things out.
