[the video function clicks on. the shot is of nill and heine's apartment; pillows and blankets are thrown everywhere, and a chair is sideways on the ground. everything looks to be in general disarray. a few feathers are lying on the floor. there's the sound of small feet running and the fluttering of wings. someone out of the frame picks up the comm and the video disconnects.]

[the video clicks on again to show nill and heine's church. from the angle it looks as if the comm is lying on the floor in the middle of the aisle. nill is sitting on the steps of the alter, legs pulled up to her chest, face resting on her knees. her wings are drooping behind her shoulders. there are feathers trailing down the aisle to where she's sitting, and a few scattered around where she's sitting. after a few moments she slowly looks down the aisle; her eyes look blurry and her hair and entire person are disheveled. she doesn't notice the comm and after taking a deep, shaking breath, she lets her face fall to her knees again.]

heine is gone.
