[He yelps but not as loud as E, that's for sure. Still like, his focus is all on Boss now, eyes wide.
He gets it, he really does, and he is lifting a hand to cup Boss's face, brush a thumb over his cheek.]
I'm sorry.
[He really is. He can't save everyone. He couldn't even save Boss. He can't make E not a traitor, killing is the only way to liberate them all from this but he still hates it, he still wants to scream, but Boss looks about to cry.]
I'm sorry because--I love you. I love E. I love Sanguine and H and--and I know, I know this is what we have to do. I know you're... You're trying hard, you're doing okay. I'm proud of you okay?
[His arm around E tightens again, thumb rubbing E's hip as reassuringly as he can, as reassuringly as he's touching Boss's face.]
