"I- Can't!" Walter gasped in air, coughing out the words. He pulled away from Henry, but not in a panicked scramble as he had when Henry had his hands on his throat. He sat up touching where Henry had clamped onto him. There were going to be bruises. Even as Henry struggled against the Pokemon with ribbons - why was it helping him...? - Walter looked him in the eye, taking deep, heavy breaths before answering his furious rambling.

"I can't." He repeated. Assumption was still loudly crying. The moment Henry was drawn back enough he threw himself between them, burying into Walter's torso and tearfully looking back at Henry. Walter couldn't pay attention to much else but the man in front of them. This isn't how he thought it would happen at all.

"I'm not dead. I haven't the Power of Heaven in this world. You know this." Henry knew what he had to do to create his Otherworlds.
