Summary: She wants to do something to help him. For fanfic100.

She wanted to comfort Seifer. She really did. She wanted to make him talk about it and make him tell her why he did what he did. But it hurt to hear him talk about it, the dead in his eyes hurt, and Fujin isn't so sure she was right to ask him to talk about it.

And it's too much for her. Knowing all of it is like a great big heavy weight, like being buried alive, knowing what he did and what she didn't and why he did it. She curses that Leonhart for being his reason, even though Squall couldn't've known.

She listened to the pain in his voice when he spoke about hurting Squall and it made her ache for him.

Made her want to kill someone.

She's not quite sure why she has her shuriken in her hand or why she's stood right there, at the entrance to Garden, contemplating killing its Commander. After all, Leonhart ended it. Freed Seifer. Offered them all the help he could.

But he was the reason for it all. It all came back to him.
