Mai looked concerned when he flinched " come on talk to me.."
Ezah shook his head " I can't..not yet.."
ac_unit
"Why not?"
" be sure I can't alright!" He huffed, his voice cracking harshly
ac_unit
Mai jumped back a little "Ezah…"
Ezah was crying now. His body heaving with every sob. " I.. I kill people! And I brought a child that has to bare with my .. my curse… I've ruined an innocent child's life forever!" He sobbed " I.. I'm a monster!"

"Baby…" Mai held onto ezah as she kissed his cheek " it's going to be okay I promise."
" no it won't! It has to kill to survive! "
ac_unit
"We'll think of something.. We always do."
" .. I'm scared"
ac_unit
"Don't be it will all be okay." Mai was scared too but she didn't want ezah to see it
Ezah held tightly to the other

Mai began to hum the same song as before trying to calm down ezah
Ezah kept trying to calm down, still crying softly
ac_unit
Mai rubbed his back continuing to hum the song,
Ezahs pain eventually dulled back as he fell back asleep, clinging to Mai weally
ac_unit
Mai stayed up all night thinking about what ezah had said" you are not a monster ezah you do what you have to do to survive it's not your fault " she whispered holding him tightly
Ezah slept solemnly
ac_unit
She stayed awake for the rest of the night just holding him and listening to the rise and fall of his chest
Once morning or.. something of a morning came, ezah woke unwillingly

Mai raised her head looking at ezah with tiered eyes "hey.."
" baby.. did you not sleep?"
ac_unit
"Uh yeah I slept."
" stop lying.."
ac_unit
"I couldn't sleep.."
" I can tell"
ac_unit
" you should try and get some more sleep."
" you should sleep."
ac_unit
"I'm not tired.."
