[There's a long pause, then a bitter, humorless chuckle. His voice is soft, but no less pointed.]

Everyone's leaving.

Robin... Kon... Persephone...

Now Dick has vanished. And I bet Naoki will too. He's going through exactly what Robin and Kon did, so why shouldn't he follow that pattern?

Perchance, will building something distract me? Seems like a

Unfortunately, there's not a lot we can do to stop the tide from turning. The most we can hope for is that they made it home safely.

[invisikid]

I know...I know that...

But home isn't safe for some of them.

[queenofgames]

Well damn.

I guess the most we can hope for then is that they can be safe wherever they are.

[sad smile]
You said it.

It is all we can do. And I'm tired of it.

[queenofgames]

I know, but sometimes, that's what we have to get by.

[invisikid]

... Speaking from experience?

...I'm Lyle.

My fiance disappeared a few weeks ago.

I'm Atem.

[invisikid]

I-I'm so sorry. That's horrible.
... Naoki... I think he's going to disappear too...

I'm sorry we had to meet when I'm feeling my worst. It's a pleasure otherwise, Atem.

It doesn't help that he was in a really strange state before he was sent home.

Likewise.

[invisikid]

Strange state? How so, if you don't mind my asking.

[queenofgames]

It's really hard to explain, but following our collective hallucination, he seemed to have lost all his memories, both of this place, and of us. And he was sleeping a lot too.

[invisikid]

...I wish I understood what had been happening to him. This place keeps on tampering with our mental and physical states; I'm not sure how to understand it, and I'm supposed to be a genius.

[queenofgames]

I think it was a combination of things. But then again, I can't pretend to understand it myself.
