Purgatorium.

I'm standing down from my position as head of the ShuRa Company effective tomorrow.

Also, please remember the minute of silence for Logan at 9:30am this Monday. Thank you.

You... you stepped down? What? What are you going to do now?

...I...um... well, you see...well, I was so grateful to see you and my emotions were run-- No. No, the truth of the matter is...

...

...It was one of the things I regretted not being able to do before you left. We had the talk. We got things out there in the open air. We did what we were supposed to verbally, and then... then you were gone. I wanted to have no regrets in case you left again, wanted to feel like I did the right thing while I had the chance. Maybe one of these days, I'll get the courage up to do the same thing to Schuldig when he's not running a fever and thinking I'm someone else.

It remains to be seen, but I have an idea of where I'd like to be.

......

As I suspected. I must say, I wasn't as surprised as I ought to have been. And it was a very nice welcome.

Perhaps you should, Elena. I don't think the response would be anything short of enthusiasm.

Private to Shu// Unhackable im_not_a_rookie March 17 2008, 14:39:06 UTC

And where would that be, sir?

You... you weren't? So I didn't step over any boundaries? It... it was okay?

I...I am not so sure with that one, sir. He...Hn.

Private to Elena// Unhackable strategy_master March 17 2008, 14:46:19 UTC

............... You'll see.

Given the conditions, I can't say it wasn't wanted. Though it was only a week for you all, I have been without you for a very long time. Seeing you again, I could think of few timings more appropriate.

... Schuldig made us aware of each other all that time ago for a reason, I think.

He?

Re: Private to Elena// Unhackable im_not_a_rookie March 17 2008, 14:56:27 UTC

That sounds ominous, sir.

Did...did you think of us often? And did you get to see Apple?
I guess what I want to know was... did you miss us? Did you want to come back. And don't do that "tell me what I want to hear" shit; I want the truth.

I know. I know...

He's complicated. I think I know what he wants, then I don't. Frustrating. How do you deal with it?

Re: Private to Elena// Unhackable strategy_master March 17 2008, 15:10:19 UTC

It's my sincere hope to work more closely with you and your president in future, Elena, though I have no intention of transferring my abilities solely to ShinRa.

... I saw Apple. She is very well. Divorced, unfortunately. Her husband proved to be something of an unfaithful bastard. She was compiling Mathiu's biography, so she traveled. I only saw her for a week, whilst she stayed with me. She didn't believe in Purgatorium.

Yes, I did. I find that there's very little left to me there, very little that remains that has anything to do with me. Everyone has moved on from those years where I was able to make myself useful, and my work now lies here, in whatever form it takes.

I find that he's able to work things through if I'm very patient - and he the same with me, I think. He clams up if I pressure him, so I wait for him to come to me.

Private to Shu// Unhackable im_not_a_rookie March 17 2008, 15:17:30 UTC

Really? I'm sure he'll be pleased because I know I am. You are a valuable asset, as I'm sure you're well aware.

That's a shame, on all accounts. Does she think we're all mad then, sir? That you're crazy? Or simply that you had one vivid dream?

I'm... I know it's selfish to say that I'm glad, sir, but... I am.

I think that's my fear, sir. I think I'm worried about pushing him to far, too fast. It was easy with Reno; he let me do as I wanted. Schuldig... is different.
