For nearly as long as Kakyoin could remember, the only one who had ever been able to offer comfort and companionship was...himself. It was always Hierophant who responded to the conscious thoughts of loneliness and uncertainty with an armored hand in Kakyoin's, with ribbonlike coils that tangled around him or arms as cool as solid stone that reached around his shoulders.]
[What Fugo saw now was barely different from a child hugging his knees to his chest to shield himself from some unspoken and intangible fear.]
