~♥TWENTY-NINE♥~

[generalflirt]

[Masaomi has been dreadfully ill since, well... since about Nagisa's party and going to look for a starfish the night before. Since then, well... he passed out there, barely made it home, and had been nursed ever since. He was slightly delirious though all this, and he relied on Saki to get him through things while working on autopilot. He wasn't able to really move much himself until about the 29th or so. After that you might have seen him going in and out of the kitchen. But had he not seen Saki as much somehow...?

This pattern lasts until he wakes up about three PM on the 3rd. He's finally feeling better, and is able to pick up the journal, flip through things, and then go check on Saki and... she's not there. He searches the apartment, is it just him or is it more empty. Finally, he goes to make a filtered message to her to see if she's around...

And. She's not. The filter breaks.

She's gone.

Gone.

He got back his cell phone a while ago - he hasn't opened it, really, but after Fray gave it back to him the only thing he used it for was that thing with the texts and "Tanaka Taro." But. He flips it open to see Saki's picture in there. His grip tightens. They never even talked and she's gone.. completely gone. He begins to shake. The rage lasts a while and he tries to calm down enough to make a little post saying she's gone. and finally... two hours later, he thinks he is]

[Voice]

Everyone. Ah, I - I... [...No, he can't do it. He can't be calm]

Son of bitch! No! [And then he throws the cell phone clean across the room. It hits the wall with a loud sound - it's not broke, not quite, but the battery pops out of the back and the screen cracks. But who cares. Now, now? His voice is pained beyond anything people have heard in Luceti since about when Mikado was sent home, but this pain is different - Mikado's was cold fury, this one is erratic fury and sorrow and... well yeah]

Why now?! [Voice break] Why- dammit, [He grits his teeth] Dammit!

[generalflirt]

Bang. Bang.

[Fact gunshots to the wall. barely addressing the book]

[risingwinds]

Hey, what's--

[A pause. What can he even say right now?]

What happened?

[generalflirt]

Someone's gone, that's all. That's every day here, right?

[risingwinds]

Maybe, but that doesn't make it any easier.

[He sighs, reminded of when Terra left. But this is different somehow.]

[generalflirt]

Of course. ...It's unfair, isn't it?

[risingwinds]

And sad...

[It's always sad. Even if Ven doesn't always say anything when friends leave, it's still upsetting, and he notices.

But this isn't about him right now. Not even close.]

[generalflirt]

[Sad. Stupid sappy Ven. And he... can't trust him. Not completely. Maybe with a bit of things - a few secrets, maybe his life at best - but not enough]

Sad, yeah.

[risingwinds]

It's not fair how they can send people back without even letting 'em say goodbye. And then they come back without memories. Sometimes really important ones, and then you have to start all over...

[Ven might be an optimist, but he's still aware of how twisted it is. How heart wrenching it is to have people disappear in the blink of an eye.

He'd say something about how friends are always connected in their hearts, but somehow it just doesn't seem appropriate right now. He's not even sure what to say...]

[generalflirt]

Mm. That's unfair, yeah. It's how things are.

[risingwinds]

But that still doesn't mean it's a good thing. I mean, I guess it's good to be outta here, but at the same time, people forget, and the folks who're left behind still miss their friends.

[It's all so complicated...]

I think I lost this oops

[generalflirt]

Ah. So is it bad or not?

[risingwinds]

I think it's really complicated. When a friend leaves, it means you can't see 'em again for a long time. And when you're from different worlds, it's even tougher... I can see why it'd be a bad thing because of it.

But some people might call that selfish. I don't know what I should think.

[generalflirt]

It doesn't seem like you know a lot, Ven-kun.

[risingwinds]

What d'you mean?

[Ven figures there's probably a lot he doesn't know or understand. That doesn't stop him from being curious.]

[generalflirt]

Just what it sounds like. You don't seem very sure.

[risingwinds]

Because it's hard to just pick one and stick with it. I guess I feel like it's good and bad for different reasons.

Pretend his hair is yellow still...

[generalflirt]

Great.

[risingwinds]

[There's a pause. Ven can tell this isn't helping. Kida probably wanted to hear something else.]

... Sorry.
