Third Sign

If the last week is any indication, this seems like a pretty difficult place to live.

People can just disappear at any time, right? Whenever they do, it looks like it causes a lot of problems for the people who are left behind. It seems like somebody very important just disappeared a few days ago, judging by everyone's reactions.

You want to know about Nanoha?

[scoop_tengu]

She is the one who everybody's upset about, correct?

[thunder_striker]

Yes.

I apologize if I've inadvertently caused a commotion.

[scoop_tengu]

I didn't mean to imply any offense. Did you know her well?

[thunder_striker]

Well, she was my...best friend.

[scoop_tengu]

She seems to have a lot of friends.

[thunder_striker]

People seem drawn to her. It is one of her best qualities.

She's capable of making friends very easily.

[scoop_tengu]

Is there any pattern to when people appear and disappear?

[thunder_striker]

No, not from what I've been able to determine.

If there is some sort of pattern, then it would take a lot more information than I have gathered over the last six months to figure out.

[scoop_tengu]

If you still don't see a pattern after that long, there might as well not be one.

[thunder_striker]

There likely isn't one, but unless we're sure of the fact, we should keep looking.

If there is some sort of pattern, discovering it could likely help us in some way.

[scoop_tengu]

I don't think I'd want to know who was disappearing soon.

[thunder_striker]

But the information could be the first step in figuring out how and why people come and go, possibly eventually allowing us to somehow control it.

[scoop_tengu]

Do you think something like that can be controlled?

[thunder_striker]

...Perhaps not.

But we should at least try.

[scoop_tengu]

I wish you luck with your trying.
