[Dominic stops when Minato does, but he makes no indication that he intends on resuming. Instead, he stares at the ground, his body tense. It's tempting to succumb to the sorrow and let it consume him, because then maybe it wouldn't hurt so much. But there's a familiar tug, one he's felt over again in his life, but never as strongly as he had when he was ten years old.
He knows what it's trying to tell him. Or rather, what it's trying to do--pull him forward.
He still doesn't know what he's doing, and inside he's still screaming that he doesn't deserve this. Yet, after a silence that feels far too heavy to him, he speaks, still staring at the ground.]
