The grip Mithos had on his hand, the pain of his bones being squeezed together, just about distracted Genis from his own panic. His breathing grew shallow as his heart pounded in his ears. He wasn't sure if he was even looking at Zelos as he stared up at him.
Her Exsphere was really gone? There was no way to put it back together? Raine was really...really gone. He left Raine without even saying goodbye to her. He'd never get to see her again.
He didn't have the tears left to cry. If Mithos didn't start pulling him along, he might have just crumbled right there. He stumbled along unsteadily, his hand barely holding Mithos's back. They were going to find Lloyd now, and...
...and it wouldn't mean anything.
He couldn't save Raine. He had no right to tell him about Zelos when he was turning his back on him, too. And even without any way to see Raine again, he made a promise to Mithos already. He wasn't going to turn his back on him, too. There was still a chance he could see his sister.
And then Colette would die, and he'd have lost two important people. But Lloyd didn't need to be one of them. Lloyd could keep living. After a while, Genis tugged Mithos's hand back to stop.

"Mithos, wait. I... I-it doesn't matter. Let's just...just forget about it."
