"Nai-!" His voice cracks and Vash rushes towards his brother and throws his arms around him, tears in his eyes. Something tells him that it's not quite his Nai - he would never deign to wear human clothes or even be in a human city like this - but it's the one that is the closest to what he knows.

"I missed you... it's so hard without you. I never know what you would have wanted me to do." The hollowed-out shell of a man that used to be Vash the Stampede looks almost manic in his joy, tears finally spilling down his cheeks. It's a loving reunion - or would be if it wasn't for the vines that snake up behind him like Knives own blades.

Pretty purple-blue blossom along them.
