After a series of harming those around him on account of the Millennium Earl’s power taking hold of his body, Mana tries to kill himself with a shard from a broken mirror.

More below the cut.

Nea can’t do anything but hold his brother, seeing Mana so broken will forever stay with him.

Mana’s wounds heal fast enough for it to not kill him there. He was waiting for Nea to be away, ironically going over to Cross’s to figure out how to deal with any of this.

Some previous instances:

Mana is sleepwalking, likely the Earl, and goes into Nea’s room.
“You were never supposed to exist.” Nea looks into his eyes- and what he sees isn’t Mana.
Mana’s nose begins to bleed and he collapses onto the floor.

Nea never mentions this to him, but Mana can tell that something is off. 

Some time in the past, Mana finds out before Nea, and he goes over to Cross’s house for the night specifically to tell him that. Mana saying he doesn’t know how much time he has left. Mana’s a sobbing mess. Not only has Cross not seen Mana like this, it just confirms what Cross had been fearing for a while. He’s losing Mana.

There are lapses in Mana’s memory further down the line, so he doesn’t even remember half of this happening.

I don’t typically give exposition to my drawings (I assure you, there is a lot I don’t talk about) but this one I feel warranted it. (also I like them)
