Oliver said quietly to Zero, "I..I thought he was.." Tristan narrowed his eyes. Oliver ran over to him, smiling. "Tristan!" His brother blocked Oliver's attempted embrace with his arm. Oliver's smile faded into confusion. Tristan shook his head. "No..not anymore, Oliver." He pushed him away lightly, and Oliver winced from a pain that wasn't of psysical cause. "Why? Who are you now, brother? You look at me like you don't know me! I'm far from a stranger, I never left your side before." Tristan's regret and sorrow deepened, and he said, "Oliver..all these years, I've been your sheild, hiding everything you didn't need to know." Oliver said, "Why, Tristan?" His brother sighed. "I hid things from you because I never wanted you to change from the innocent person you are.." Oliver shook his head. "Nobody can stay innocent forever, brother." Tristan's expression hardened. "Don't you understand? If you knew what I knew, If I stuck around, then you would start to become how I am! I don't want you to be like me! I've become someone you never knew, that I hid from you, and I never want you to know. Just go away, and let me be. It's better for you, because all I want and all I ever wanted is what's best for you...brother." He turned around quickly and started to walk away quickly. Oliver held out his hand, as if he could bring him closer.
