♘ I hope the day will be a lighter highway

[on one end of a swing set on the Plane, his hands gripping the chains so tight, his knuckles have turned white, sits Kaoru. he's in the suit he arrived in for his match against Remus, the trousers all one piece again like the shards of broken porcelain never cut the expensive material. the tea cup the Twins gave him lies empty on the ground nearby.

besides the lingering sensation of a drugged fog in his mind, he doesn't seem any different. everything is still in place--he still
feels like himself--but he wears a worried, frightened expression. he doesn't know how long he's been gone and worse still...he doesn't want to see what his blood looks like now.

his mind goes to Hikaru and he suddenly lets out a mournful little groan, his grip tightening on the chains as he slumps forward, his body wanting to curl in on itself. of all people, he doesn't want Hikaru to know what he did, even if he did it to protect the Hosts and Renge, because...no, he can't stand thinking about that possibility.]

It's from the Latin stupere - to be numb or stunned.

I suppose it does.

You can hide behind anything you like, but any other spell you can deflect magically.

Hooray! <3

No, and once it hits you, there's nothing to be gone.

Oh! Yes, I do. Just a moment... [disappears! and, soon enough, reappears with the carriage, horses and all] Dumbledore let me keep it at Hogwarts.

Oh, I told him. ...Well, I told him I was keeping it for a friend I'd met here. I imagine he realised there was more to it, but he didn't press.
