[ Thanks to their shared legacy Yuya's emotions hit him at full force, smothering him, choking him. At first, Amos isn't sure if he can even breathe. This feels antithetical to what he should be doing, to who he is, like he's lost some part of himself and is only now realizing it.
Kinda funny, for someone who's been lost most of his life and dealt with it by either ignoring it or finding someone to lead the way. The throne looms in his peripheral vision.
And then he looks down at the damage he knows he's just caused, the damage he feels secondhand. It's the kind of thing that would have sent him on a downward spiral once, the kind he'd sent himself down after he got back from Venera. But once he sifts his way past Yuya's emotions, he finds he feels... nothing.
It's a defence mechanism so normal to him he doesn't think to question it. So. Okay. That's it, then.
There's nothing else for him to say. There's nothing he can do here, anyway.
Amos turns away, lets himself fade back into shadows. ]
