Just another drabble... Real posts? What are those?
There's just a few people who will know where this is from. To everyone else, it's definitely an unexplainable oneshot at first glance. :|b Suikoden III, Albert and Caesar, GO!
----------
The bells attached to the handle tinkled as Albert threw the front door open. He gave a smile to the hesitant but willing boy behind him, taking his hand and leading him out into the yard.
"We're going to go play at the park today," he told his young brother, trotting out onto the cobblestone path that wound towards the gates. "There's more to play with over there."
Really, it was more along the lines of there actually being things to stimulate a child's mind out there. The manor offered nothing but the books of daily lessons and the stifling orders from adults of all shapes and sizes. Little Caesar was simply happy that his brother was accommodating him suddenly; after years of hugs not being returned and receiving strange looks when he asked to be read a story, the abrupt turnabout caught him by complete surprise.
It was like he had changed overnight.
"We might see someone walking their dog, or see other kids playing. Would you like that?" Albert said, trying to garner interest from the little boy. Caesar just clung to his hand more tightly, blinking up at him. As they reached the street, Albert turned again and gave him an encouraging smile.
He never saw the horse and rider tearing down the street they were standing on.
Caesar did not scream as the other's hand was ripped from his own. He fell on the stones and stared at the sky. All he saw was endless blue.
He doesn't remember what he heard that day.
But he developed a deep fear of horses.

And yet for some reason I'm imagining Caesar as Ken and Albert as Sam and that is kind of breaking my brain here too. (Caesar the Digimon Kaiser. Go.)
... But yes. So sad :(((((
Oh, you.
