Cipher Izanagi:
The crumpled male held up his hand to Alexander for a moment, asking him to be quiet. Sighing to himself Seifer stood, wiping his right eye on his wrist before fully looking at the person that had just addressed him, both eyes bloodshot. "It's fine.. I... we... We're supposed to fight a friend I guess you could say. As for the unsealing part I'm not entirely sure where to begin. Just... give me a few moments.." the male sighed out softly trying to gather his thoughts and composure again. He gave his all and fell short, and it's true, Cero and Tsubasa... The other champions were indeed there on the other side fighting to unseal the clans. He just had to have faith in their power.

"There were several clans sealed, all of which were held dear to certain cardfighters..." his hand tightened into a fist as his voice trailed off for a moment. Shaking his head, he looked back at Alexander. "Kagero... My clan, was one of them. I lost my friends, my comrades, that I'd made so many good memories with for the betterment of everyone apparently. A peace, I guess. That's about as much as I understood." the male glanced down again biting his lip before glancing first at Hana, who was still keeping the gates open, and then the other fighters forced to wait here. "Understandably, some people would or could be very angry with Neu... And yet, if you asked me, I'd answer I wasn't. I don't know how to explain my reasoning as to why, I'm just... not. I've no reason to be mad at her." he stayed quiet for a few moments again before looking over his shoulder at the doorways. Sure he couldn't go in anymore, but he could probably watch right?

"If you asked me... I'd say she was right in her own way. ...But everyone else, in their own way, are also right. Their feelings, thoughts, actions. All of it. Hmph... Sorry, I must sound like some delusional idiot rambling on after crying huh..." he spoke softly to the stranger who'd addressed him.

AlwaysAwake:
Alexander stood silent as he watched Seifer regain his composure, eyeing him with sympathy evident in his appearance. He waited the whole time, listening for his response as all the words came out - a few moments passing as after everything was said he simply closed his eyes and nodded.

"Everyone is right and wrong in their own way." Speaking the words in a rather calm manner, more folowing after a slight pause.

"But even if that's the truth, and you're not mad at this friend you can still tell that what they're doing is wrong right? From the beginning anger wasn't going to be the right emotion to feel, but more so a want to undo their mistake.  Splitting people and their clans apart, messing with their memories... You can at least tell that's wrong. Less right than returning everything to normal at least." His composure as he said it indicated a certain truthfulness, he was being honest about his feelings on the manner. Though, he was likely speaking out of line as well, not having been through the same experiences as the Great Nature champion.

Beryl:
In as two, returning as...only one. Satoshi rematerialized on Earth, curled in a closed ball. He had failed Neo Nectar. He had failed his friends.

He had failed his Vanguard.

Everything that had ever been said to him came back, all at once. Every word of encouragement with shades of irritation behind them, all the words of things being okay and the future looking bright...all of it stung, more than anything. He had gone in, confident that he could do something and help protect Cray as per his destiny. But he wasn't strong enough. He was blind to those who needed no protection. He was unwilling to let suffering stand as it was.

And in return, he was an empty shell of himself. A man without a clan. A former champion thrown into the bowels of an abyss without escape. A broken heart with no chance of mending.

The voice cooed in his head. I told you, boy. Who cares for your answer, or anyone's answer, if it's meaningless before true power?

At the same time, he realized that this is what Yukino had felt. And Haruka. And Hana. And all of those who had seen their former clans and felt lost without them. This was what they felt like. He almost wanted to laugh, but he could do anything but. This sort of pain not only prevented himself from being able to express what he wanted to feel, but he also just...couldn't. He tried to push his face into a sorrowful look, but there was nothing. He wanted to burn, hang, cease to exist. But none of it could come to his face.

Satoshi Kurosaki was now broken.

Cipher Izanagi:
The male shrugged at the response, looking at Alexander from the corner of his eyes. "Yeah, you're right in what you say. And from a stand point of someone who's lost something precious to them, I agree. ...I partially believe that's why I didn't back down when I could of just as easily ran away." looking back at the gates for a moment, staring quietly. "Though ya'know... At the end there... I don't think I fully cared that I lost. I don't think I cared a lot about the unsealing of the clans. ...People might hate me for it, but I was just having fun fighting a friend at the best that we both could push out. ...Yeah, I'm kinda sore I lost... I wanted to bring back Overlord... Kagero... with my own hands. But the others can handle it from here." he smiled a bit laughing, starting off as a soft laughter before rolling into an almost delusional one. Regaining his composure slower than before though Seifer glanced over his shoulder at Alexander grinning. "Let's leave it up to the fate of the cards. I think the other f-" he stopped himself as another one of the champions reappeared.

It was... the Neo Nectar one? Seifer thought he remembered it right... In any case the male looked worse off than he did. Kneeling down next to Satoshi, not that Seifer knew his name, he placed a hand on the other male's shoulder. "Hey... Look, don't take it to hard... I lost well before you. Neu wiped the floor with me, so cheer up, yeah? ...We've still got the others to rely on. Try to cheer up. C'mon... Want me or... Uh... Name please?" he asked looking over his shoulder at Alexander again. This entire time he had no idea who he was talking to, and had just been speaking to a complete stranger. In any case, he turned his attention back to the Neo Nectar player removing his hand from the other's shoulder and placing it on his own knee. "Would you like either of us to go get you a drink? Or something to snack on while we wait?..." he tried to sound cheerful and give a smile, but he understood where the other had been, since he was somewhat like that a little bit prior.

AlwaysAwake:
Blinked, taken aback by Seifers words and his reaction to his loss. Alexander had a small flame of anger flare up within him.

"You didn't care, huh." Seifer AP -1

Alexander was about to give him a piece of his mind, though he was stopped by the appearance of the broken Satoshi,  a small sigh given by him as he eyed the defeated warrior. "Two down out of five, huh..." He spoke out loud, eyeing both of them as Seifer tried to comfort him in a rather insensitive way. Of course he was not one to talk considering he might have been equally disrespectful as well.

"I'm Alexander. Nice to meet you, though under these circumstances it might not be the best time." He said in a bit of a apprehensive tone, a small forced laugh as he continued to glance at Satoshi from time to time. The look he had was one of a broken man, as if having lost a literal peace of themselves. The look of what it meant to have something torn away and not having the power to get it back.

"I don't know if telling him to cheer ups going to work out well..." Speaking after analyzing the Champion for a bit.
