Why do all my friends here have to keep leaving?

[belovedeath]

Because this place is cruel.

[orphanedpuppy]

Yeah. But if it brought them to me in the first place it's not completely cruel... is it?

[belovedeath]

But it also took them away.

[orphanedpuppy]

Well... if it's just doing it to be cruel I'm going to be thankful for the friends I got to meet anyways!

[belovedeath]

What a kind thought.

[orphanedpuppy]

Well, it's either that or be sad and angry all the time and I don't think Clare, Atora, or Tatsuki would want me to be like that.

[belovedeath]

Hmm ...

[orphanedpuppy]

My name is Raki, what's yours?

[belovedeath]

Eliza. Are you new?

[orphanedpuppy]

Hi, Eliza. I really like your name, it's pretty.

No, I've been here for a while. Well, I was here before but I went home for seven years my time and then came back.

[belovedeath]

Thank you. I like yours too~

Ah. So you have a place to stay?

[orphanedpuppy]

Thank you! Does yours mean anything? Mine doesn't.

Yes! Sometimes I live in the forest and sometimes in the apartment Miss Atora owned.

[belovedeath]

It means 'God is a vow'. How does your name mean nothing? Doesn't it mean something to you?

[orphanedpuppy]

Oh, I know God. Father Abel used to talk about him.

It means when people say it I should turn around.

[belovedeath]

Ah. I never met him.

Well, that's a meaning.

[orphanedpuppy]

He was mean to people I liked. But that's when I was younger, I don't think I would find him quite as mean as before.

Then I guess it means me!
