[Concerned frown is go. She's no stranger to lots of family members dying.]

... Are you okay?

[Video]

[foreversorryorz]

[Really wished people didn't have to see that]

I-I think I will be. I'm sorry...

[storychained]

[Story of her life.]

Why are you sorry?

[Video]

[foreversorryorz]

That uh you had to see that...

[He's looking down and not at the screen anymore]

[It feels like he can't breathe, but he can't... he can't look away. That's him. A little older, maybe, but definitely him. He killed...]

Emil...

[Lloyd... Sorry but he can't look at you and can't bring himself to respond either. He knows this one is from the past but still the image from his dream is too strong in his mind. Emil simply strengthens his grip around his legs and pulls them closer. It was bad enough that he was confused and conflicted but the way that ended, made him really homesick.]

[redcladidealist]

I... I'm sorry...

[He doesn't know what else to say. What do you say to someone whose parents you killed? He hadn't wanted to believe. He'd wanted, hoped, that it was just a mistake. He wouldn't do something like that. He wouldn't!

But it's harder to tell himself that now that he's seen.]

No wonder you hated me.

[Emil remains silent... Although Lloyd had the best interests in mind when he apologized, he could feel nothing but frustration and conflicting thoughts from it. If anything his words only reminded him that this Lloyd was from the past. Lloyd had willing to give him a second chance when he apparently tried to kill him earlier. He'd been nothing but optimistic about everything that it was just hard for him to believe at all. In fact, he didn't even know what he believed anymore...

It takes him a few moments before he lifts his head a little, looking toward the Dreamberry but not eye to eye]

T-That was what is known as... the Palmacosta Blood Purge.

[ofredemption]

...Was that---was that Lloyd?

[foreversorryorz]

[Looking towards the Dreamberry... Didn't recognize the voice or the face though. Another person he didn't know saw his dream, but what he said just barely caught his attention]

...You know Lloyd?

[ofredemption]

..Well, yeah, he's my friend. [plus he kind of died protecting him but that's 1920's news. his eyes narrow]

Is this dream some kind of joke?

[foreversorryorz]

[The first part he figured, the second made his eyes go wide]

A-A joke?? Are you seriously asking me that?!

[Zelos reacted the same way, even though he was dead serious and it hurt enough the first time... Did he have to go through this again with a complete stranger?!]

[ Colette doesn't say anything for the longest time. Her gaze is a little shaken, and confusion clearly written across her delicate features.

Th-that was Lloyd, wasn't it? ]

Emil... a- are you alright?

[foreversorryorz]

[... Oh crap Colette saw that and he hadn't explained anything yet to her]

I-I will be soon... I'm sorry.

[clumsychosen]

[ Yup, so as of right now you have not only concern, but wow confusion going on right now. ]

There's no need to apologize, but--

[ You probably know what she's about to say. ]

video;

[foreversorryorz]

[He does but that doesn't mean he wants to answer it, he really doesn't but... she should probably know]

Um, Colette? W-What was the last thing you remember before waking up here?

[runslikehell]

[Zoey is very familiar with the idea of people you care about dying like that, especially family members. What else could she do but empathize with that same kind of loss, even with someone who was a stranger. Whether it was a dream or a memory (and she did hope that it wasn't the latter) she couldn't just sit there and not say anything after seeing something like that play out.]

That kind of thing... It's never easy.

[A pause.]

Are you okay?

[foreversorryorz]

[... Even if it's from a stranger it's still nice to hear]

Y-Yeah, and I think so... [It's still flashing through his mind but he's slowly pulling himself out of it]

[runslikehell]

[She offers a bit of a smile.]

Looks like this place just really loves messing with us, doesn't it? [So much sarcasm.]

[foreversorryorz]

Yeah, I'm starting to notice that.

[A bit of a smile back although it's a little forced at the moment.]
