"Scott, you're bleeding!" Jin exclaimed. He was right. Scott felt blood dripping from his nose down his lips and chin. He frowned at the Korean man, puzzled. What difference did it make? Ami was gone. He refused to use the other word yet.
Jin looked up suddenly. Scott sat back, then followed Jin's gaze. Damon rushed toward them, his features creased with worry.
The hollowness and pain were more than Scott could bear. He retreated to the void, welcoming its placid numbness. Even though the pain no longer bothered him, he began repairing the ruptured blood vessels. There wasn't much point in having a body if it was broken.
Scott stood and wiped the blood from his face as Damon skidded to a halt in front of him. "Scott, something's happened to Ami."
"She's... gone," Scott stated. He absently noticed how flat his voice sounded. Judging from Jin's and Damon's expressions, they'd noticed as well.
Damon visibly fought back panic. "I know, she's... She's cut off from me. Blocked, unnaturally. I can't focus on her at all. Can you?"
Jin began speaking rapidly to Damon in Korean, then cut himself off, frustrated. To his and Scott's surprise, Damon asked him in Korean to continue. (I guess all Tomorrow People can cheat like Ami can. Like Ami could,) Scott mused. He could acknowledge her death in the void.
Damon turned from Jin to Scott, clearly alarmed. "Scott, what the hell is wrong with you?" he demanded. "What happened to Ami?"
"I'm fine," Scott answered truthfully. He'd finished healing the damaged tissue, and nothing hurt anymore.
"You sure as hell don't sound fine!"
Scott shrugged. "Ami's gone. Dead."
Damon stared, then shook his head vehemently. "No, she's not! I can tell. I just can't reache her. You can't?"
Scott frowned as the void trembled. "No. There's just a hole there, empty." He felt tears welling in his eyes and closed his tear ducts. He wouldn't cry over what he couldn't change.
Damon put his hands on Scott's shoulders. "Listen to me. I've felt this before. Ami's alive, but unconscious. I need you to hold it together so we can get with Daniel and the others and go see what happened. Okay?"
Scott nodded mutely. He hoped Damon was right. It would be nice to feel again.
