He eases upwards, momentarily dazed by the enormity of it, even if it's this small instance on the floor of his home that recalls his focus and tells him where he needs to be.
Subaru's hand still rests over his heart where he'd protectively touched to try and calm his Stellaron. But nothing comes now. Just the soft stutter of his weeping. Quietly, he moves his hand away from his chest and lifts it to his cheek to thumb the start of his tears.
Not all endings are tragic. But neither are all beginnings happy. ]

It's alright, Caelus.
