Tophs action certainly did change things. He didn't feel like he was being held up, as if someone much bigger had grabbed him. Like the hand of a gundam. He was still bound, still shaking. Now he just felt small, pulling a knee up and pressing himself against the wall behind him.

He just couldn't believe that Quatre wasn't helping him. That he was stuck here with no escape. Nothing the other boy made any sense! He hunched his shoulders, tense with strain and glared up at them defiantly. He'd fight em' all off if he had to.
