... he has been gone for some time now, and I've said nothing. It's no ones business, as it is. It has always been only between him and myself, always. Gone. I suppose this means he's gone for good, unless he becomes one of the returners.

... I am the fourteenth ... must I ...? Hn ... I'm thinking too much.

Whose been gone for some time, Subaru?

[13th_and_14th]

... Seishirou-san. I doubt anyone has noticed, besides me.

[themoonuplifts]

I've ... never actually heard of him. Was he a friend of yours?

[13th_and_14th]

He was ... special.

[themoonuplifts]

So he was your special friend?

[13th_and_14th]

... he wasn't my friend, but he was still-- [sighs] ... I honestly don't know what he was to me in this world.

[themoonuplifts]

Ah... I'm sorry your someone has ... disappeared. Maybe you'll see him when you go back to your world!

[13th_and_14th]

... he's dead in that world. Unless he returns here, I won't be seeing him again.

[themoonuplifts]

Oh... I'm sorry to hear that. That must be hard.

[13th_and_14th]

I suppose it would be, if I could still feel-- ...

... never mind.

[[OOC: Hey Usagi, is he depressing you enough yet?]]

[themoonuplifts]

Wait. What? Are you just being--Uh. I'm sure you can still feel. Right?

[ooc: Yeah. Totally is, but she's too curious for her own good. =D Silly blonds.]

[13th_and_14th]

... I can't. There are occasional traces of being able to, but they are far and few between. Most times, I've been faking emotions to avoid concern, but I can only do that for so long.

I'd ... prefer it if you kept that information from my sister and Kamui. It's bad enough I've said anything at all.

[[OOC: Oh silly Usagi. He does totally appreciate being able to talk to someone, though, even if he is unintentionally docking the angst-boat on top of her >>;]]

[themoonuplifts]

I don't... I don't believe you. Everyone feels something. Sometimes you feel numb or sad or happy or angry. If you can't feel anything... That sounds like the worst thing in the world.

I won't tell anyone. I promise.

[ooc: That happens to Usagi a lot, so I'm sure she's used to it. Darn her for wanting to help people through things. Does Subaru really feel nothing or is he just being angst-bucket? D=]

[13th_and_14th]

... believe what you want.

Thank you.

[[OOC: He does feel some things sometimes, but for the most part, especially with the whole "being the Sakurazukamori" thing, he doesn't feel much of anything ._.;]]

[themoonuplifts]

Why? Why can't you feel anything?

You're welcome.

[ooc: That's sad. Subaru was my favorite character in Tokyo Babylon and to see him like this makes me DDD=]

[13th_and_14th]

I am-- ... no, I-- ... I can't tell you that. I'm sorry.

[[OOC: Yeah ._. ... all the things CLAMP puts him through ultimately ends with him being like this knowing CLAMP, probably worse.]]
