He let Hubert steer him, at the very least forcing his legs to work so that he wasn't entirely a dead weight.
"Yes, they were. Karkat I only met after I arrived here, he wasn't from my time, but he... he was a mutant, like me. He understood like no one could understand. And my Disciple, my Meulin--"
He had to stop again. It was clear that out of the two of them, though both losses had hit him hard, this was the one that was really unbearable. He'd thought he'd always have Meulin, that he could lose everything else in his life but she'd still be there. Logically he'd always known he could lose her, both on Alternia and here in Panem, but the idea had been so unthinkable, and now... now what was he supposed to do?
"We were everything to each other, we had something our species couldn't even properly describe, and I can't..." His hands tightened in the fabric of Hubert's shirt. "I don't know what to do without her."
They'd always been two halves of the same whole. He knew he could live without her because she'd certainly lived without him after he'd died. He'd be able to pick himself up and keep going in time. He just had to get all of the hurt out first and be done with it.
