Beth sighed before setting the IPod and ear buds back on the bed. The look on her face read guilty and a bit sad as she went to a corner and sat down. Saying nothing as she pulled her knees up to her chest and hiding her face in her hood.

Ryan was crying his lights out up there, seemingly very hurt by his own actions. "I'm soo-oorry!" he blubbered, trying not to completely scream his head off.

"NO!" Evan continued to fight against Aaron during their ascent. To his credit, even taking his inactivity into account, he was a pretty strong guy, flailing slightly as he very nearly broke free once or twice. "I CAN'T KEEP DOING THIS! I DON'T BELONG HERE! I HAVE TO OH CRAP!!!"
In his struggles, as he awkwardly twisted and turned in Aaron's grip, his little black box slipped out of his hoodie pocket and started plummeting back down.

Aaron had been all but ignoring Evan's squirming as he made his way up to the window, gritting his teeth and bearing it all the while. He figured this would be the least he could do with Evan, fighting on to escape his grip... Even if it was to continue plummeting to the ground below. "WOULD YOU STOP?? I'M TRYING TA- OH crap what-?"
He was quick to look down and see the ring box fall down down down down.
".... That was.... Yours... Wasn't it." .......... The god-tier let out an annoyed growl before screaming outright.
He knew very well, thanks to Beth telling him what that was... He knew very well that losing that was only going to make Evan's condition worse. So with that in mind...... At this point he had only one real option.
"Evan? Buddy? I love you. I really do."
?
"But I'm afraid I'm going to have to briefly put you on timeout." Evan couldn't ask what he was talking about before Alex opened up a void portal and pushed him inside. His Void modus was still young, and empty. He had no reason to suspect Evan could somehow hurt himself in there... In the meantime however, THE RING BOX!
Closing the portal, he jetted down as it continued falling the ground fast approaching. AT that velocity, he doubted that the box would survive impact. COME ON COME ON, REACH... REAAAACH!!!
One attempt to grab it pushed it further away.
Another pushed it forward and slightly out of reach.... Come on come on-!!
He managed to grab it!! "GOTCH-"
WHAM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-390
..........................
..........................................
.............................................................
The thief, having managed to capture the ring-box before it hit bottom and holding his arms outward....... Well... At the very least when the ring box tumbled out of his hand, it was softly to the ground next to him...
And as for the thief himself-?
.................
".......... Uuuuuuuugh..............."
There were times he was really, REALLY thankful for the super advanced armors that he crafted ahead of time, otherwise his shitty defense would've ensured the impact would kill him outright...
.... HOWEVER IT STILL REALLY FUCKING HURT JESUS CHRIST.
Yeah, his mom was going to kill him when he got back.... "Aghahaha..........." He couldn't move his legs... Better to just hover and collect the box... Well... At least he could move his arms-OW OW OW SHIT FUCK FINGERS HURT FUCK...
------------------------
By the time he made his way back up to the window, the poor guy looked completely black and blue. "MEDIIIIIIIIIIIIIIC........... MEDIIIIIIIIIIIIIC....." He was pretty much dangling out the window as he opened the void portal...
Letting Evan tumble safely out back on the floor of his room.

Beth looked up hearing Aaron call for a medic and just in time to see Evan tumble out of a void portal.
The girl sighed. "Aaron.... couldn't you have just void portaled the ring box to save your health?" she asked solemnly. It was evident with the returned IPod on the bed, that Beth was starting to get the doom and glooms.

A sketchy looking slime with a medic hat was already out and about, spitting up goop on Aaron that started easing his pain. Ryan himself hardly seemed the funny goofball he normally did.

"NONOWAITWAITWAITWAIT WAAAAIT!" Evan was helpless to resist as Aaron sealed him within the void, left to stare in abject terror at the infinite blackness that surrounded him.
..................
Everything was gone...
This game had finally taken everything from him.
Choking back a sob, Evan delved into his strife deck and whipped out the Double-Sided Dagger, the only other key weapon he had. He quickly positioned the tip over his chest, only to freeze up before he could take the plunge. This just... didn't feel quite as right. Even if he was alone here, with no one around to stop him now... he couldn't go out like this. Had he hit the ground, that would've been immediate. Painless. He didn't want to hurt anymore. He just... didn't have the heart to draw his own blood, even out here in the lonesome void.
Evan sighed and captchalogued the key dagger. Tears finally started to flow.
Right at that moment, the portal reopened beneath him, allowing Evan to tumble back into his room and crumple on the floor. Immediately, he curled up and shuddered as deep, soft, airy sobs wracked his body, his cloudy eyes never meeting any of his friends'.

?!?!?!?!?! "UGH I FEEL SO FUNKY..."
But at the very least, his pain was starting to go away. Plus, his natural god-tier restoration was getting a boost from the restorative goop. With that going on, he finally managed to climb the rest of the way into the room.... He took a tumble and faceplanted on the floor painfully... But a few seconds later, he pushed himself in a direction allowing the rest of his body to fall down, landing flat on his butt. "OOOOOW.... TH-THANKS RYO." He then pointed at Beth to respond...
..............
WAIT WHY DIDN'T HE?
...........
".... BECAUSE SHUT UP... Also thanks Ryan......" It took him a minute or so of the awkward silence before he felt like his back was in okay enough condition to sit up. From there, he looked to Evan, sobbing pitifully on the floor... .... Taking a moment to work up the energy, Alex held out his arm.... "Hey. Hey Evan. Hey... I got something for ya."
When he opened his hand, he revealed the ring-box to Evan and the other occupants of the room.

"Evan. Aaron saved something for ya," Beth softly offered. "I put your IPod and ear buds back on your bed.... I'm sorry for any havoc we have caused..."
Also on his bed were 4 brightly wrapped packages.

Ryan seemed awfully quiet. "Um... your books and things are back where I found them," he sighed, extremely long in the face.

Evan didn't speak. He at least looked up at the mention of his name, tears clouding his deep brown eyes, his gaze resting on the ring box in Aaron's hand.
Almost immediately, as if reflexively, Evan swiped the little velvet box, his expression full of desperation and gratitude. Then he pressed it against his chest and tightly curled inward, as if desperately trying to keep his entire being from spilling out of his body. From this position, his shuddering sobs resumed, a potent emptiness and longing in his pitiful display.
"Sssss... S-ssss... Sw... S... fff..."

Evan felt a hand on his shoulder.
............
".... Look... Dude... We're sorry for the trouble earlier..." Aaron stated, slowly, carefully.... ".... But... This CAN'T go on. I mean. Look at yourself. Have you done anything the past few weeks aside from sit around here?.." A very vague twinge came to Alex's nose. ".. Have you even showered-?" Aaron had never had a particularly strong sniffer. So the fact that he could tell meant something.

"We're working to get the world back. We'll bring Swift back. Even if I have to fight the Greek and Egyptian panteons just to get her back, I want you happy Hufflepuff," Beth offered as she really tried to ignore the smell. "I won't fight with you or your beliefs. But I have a high doubt that Swift would want to see you wallowing about like this.... I know I don't..."

As disgusted as the other two seemed, Ryan didn't seem bothered by the smell at all. "We just wanted to help you feel better, man... not worse than you already feel," he sighed, trying to let Evan know what their thought pattern was during this.

Evan opened his eyes, his gaze flicking between the trio, staring up at them like a sad puppy. Eventually, though, he relaxed, if only slightly and with tears still silently flowing. Give Evan one thing... despite his depression, he wasn't totally apathetic. There was clearly guilt mingling with his misery, guilt over worrying his friends like this...
Didn't make him feel any better, of course.
He sniffled a little and looked down at his ring box. Vacantly. Emotionally drained. "I... I don't... I don't know what...... I can't..."
Really, there was nothing to say. Nothing he could do. It felt wrong to go on like this, knowing that he had started this voyage of chaos and destruction. Knowing that his actions had doomed everyone he knew and loved. Evan had long accepted that his isolation on this dead silent planet was to be his punishment. There were certainly worse pains.
But nothing would deter him from the fact that there was nothing for him here. That this was beyond his jurisdiction. That there was no hope for him...
...........................
As for the question of whether or not Evan had showered since his arrival... He didn't say aloud, but the answer was yes. Not consistently, and he couldn't exactly remember when his last one was, but... yeah, at least once or twice...
