[He's kind of debating between trying to see if he can watch or hear past messages from the Ace that is here, or from Marco himself to understand the man better, when the notification of a new general message comes up. He clicks on it with full intention of closing it right away, but the moment he hears the voice all that goes through the window.
Leanne.
It's all a bad, terrible joke and he knows it. He tries to bend the multiverse, Marco tries to pull at strings of fate and every comes crashing down in a big pile of fire. Ikki's in a world where Ace never met him, where Seiya and Dohko are, where he doesn't know Marco... And now Leanne is here. And he knows deep down that she won't remember him. She won't know him.
And maybe that should be good, she would have a chance to find another love. Another life away from his fire. Maybe. But he's still hurt and angry and greedy. And he wants to be with her again. So he throws his doubts away and instead tracks down her Cosmo, the same as always, maybe a bit stronger even, and arrives to where she is. He expects to find her alone, but instead finds her with something between her arms, a dying animal as he quickly notices the small fading Cosmo. He steps closer before he can think of it, his Cosmo expanding to envelop her and the creature with warmth.]
The other night dear, when I was sleeping, I dreamt I held you in my arms. When I awoke dear, I was mistaken. So I hung my head and cried...
[His voice isn't that of a beautiful heron, but his singing isn't horrendous, he knows that much. And it's all he dares to do right now, when he is sure she won't know him and she's trying to send off an animal with love.]
