[ His tears are mostly for his brothers, the one that's missing and the one he'll never see again... but the distraction Nicholas provides is a good one. He's never really thought about death before, about what it's like to be dead -- mostly because he assumed there wasn't any being dead! You died, and you were dead, the end!
But being a ghost doesn't sound so bad. Never hungry, never tired, meeting all your dead friends and family and new people, all the time? Plus, Nicholas is here talking to a living person, so ghosts don't even have to give up their living friends! That's not so bad at all!
With a final sniff, Vash rubs his eyes dry. Nicholas is being really nice -- he's even sitting on the ground so Vash doesn't have to look up at him! -- and here Vash is crying like a baby. Tears aren't going to make Nai come back. Tears won't let him see Knives again. They just make everyone else upset and give him a headache. ]

Are there other ghosts here? Or just you?
