He could hear crying coming from his brother's room again. Something that tore at his heart each night as Terry cried himself to sleep after spending the entire day doing the best he could to ignore the world around him and not think of Seung. At first Matt had tried his best to comfort his little brother but kept getting rejected, the same as their parents, as Terry withdrew into himself. Now he had to just sit there and hear just how heartbroken and in pain his brother was, left unable to even offer to hold him as he cried.

Matt leaned against the wall that separated them while staring blankly at the one opposite, his attention split between the sounds and going over just what he could do to help once again. Terry refused any help in stopping the depression that was clearly over taking him, refused help from any of his family and any friends that knew what was going on if any. Seung wasn't even in the city any more so he couldn't force them to just talk it out and help them see that even with this fight they could work together to solve the problems.

The thoughts just proved to himself that he was at a loss of what to do, on how to sooth their hurts and mend their broken hearts. Even when he talked with Hyeon for them to try and come up with a plan neither could figure anything out! It didn't help that Hyeon was the one who made sure that Seung was out of town and pushed to waiting for them to have time apart so they could think things through and come to some realizations on their own. Clearly that wasn't the right solution when his baby brother was crying himself to sleep every night, pushing himself hard each day, and not eating much of anything!

When he had become Siwa, Terry had been sure to tell him that he would need more calories and water intake then he normally did even with his already active lifestyle whenever he powered up. To see Terry, his little brother who knew this well, eat maybe one meal a day while still patrolling each night on top of everything else it just proved to Matt just how far the younger man had fallen. He had tried to get him to eat more, he had tried to stop him from patrolling, he had tried so hard to get Terry to slow down and let him in but nothing was working.

Nothing was working and all he could be glad about was that so far Terry hadn't run into any trouble on his patrols on top of everything and get himself hurt or worse. He couldn't even follow him all of the time since Terry would leave the house before transforming and it would take Matt a bit to try and catch up, something that happened many half of the time in the long run.

His thoughts were broken as the noise in the next room started to grow quieter and he waited until it was clear his baby brother was asleep before moving over to his own bed away from the wall, picking up his phone, and sending Hyeon a text. Something needed to happen to bring them back together and that something needed to happen soon.
