Oh man... I...

The way they were...

I can't get the images out of my head, and I don't think I'll be able to anytime soon. It's like I'm part of a nightmare I can't wake up from. Then again, Discedo always felt that way to me. But it wasn't ever...

I mean, nobody should've been put through that and...

God, I can't even put it into words.

I understand how you feel...

...

Is... there anything I can do for you? I don't want you to cry.

[onceahuman]

I'll have to manage, somehow. But if you want some company or to talk, I'm more than willing.

[lunchpenalty]

Are you sure you'll be able to manage? And I thought I was the one offering to keep you company. I don't look that frightened, do I?

[onceahuman]

Not really but... I don't know. Do you? Even if you don't, the company would be nice for both of us, I think.

[lunchpenalty]

You're right. I feel sorry for anyone who's completely alone right now. They're probably scared out of their minds....

[onceahuman]

How about you? Got someone nearby?

[lunchpenalty]

...I do. Haruhi. I can appreciate her presence sometimes.

[onceahuman]

Sometimes?

[lunchpenalty]

She's rather... loud and hyper-active. Don't get me wrong -- she does have good traits like determination -- but sometimes, she's more trouble than she's worth.

What about you? Is there anyone nearby?

[onceahuman]

Sounds like a real handful.

Yeah, I'm sticking close to my sisters.

[lunchpenalty]

I didn't know you had sisters. But I'm glad you're not alone.

[onceahuman]

It's an adopted family, but I love them all the same! I'm the oldest, you know.

[lunchpenalty]

There's nothing wrong with that as long as you consider them your family.

How many sisters do you have?

[onceahuman]

There's Nani, Lilo, Marlene...

Oh, and I took in Merle as my daughter.

[lunchpenalty]

That's quite a lovely family indeed.

None of my family is here. My mom, my dad, and my little sister are all back home...

It must be really nice to have family members like that, though... To have sisters and a daughter.

It must really brighten your spirit.

[onceahuman]

I'd have gone insane already if I wasn't for them.

I think it's good that they're home. I mean, you miss them, but at least they're not being put through any of this.

Maybe you'll adopt a daughter of your own someday! What do you think?
