[ It's not normal for Jack to get upset, usually he has it in him to overcome the obstacles of life. But not this time. Not this time. Jack is in his apartment when the voice crackled to life. Jack sounds choked up, like he's holding back tears. ]

It's not funny, leaving me scissors you know. [ He found the gifts on his table that morning after

Jack? Is everything okay?

voice;

[tangledlocks]

No. He's gone.

voice;

[vimyridge]

[O- oh. He knew how upsetting something like that could be.]

...if you'd like, I could come over.

voice;

[tangledlocks]

I don't know.

voice;

[vimyridge]

If you need anything, please let me know.

[tangledlocks]

Why does losing someone hurt this bad?

voice;

[vimyridge]

It's because we care about them. Whether they've realised it or not, they've come to mean something to us and when they leave... well, we can't help but feel bad. It's as if a part of us has been taken away.

voice;

[tangledlocks]

I felt like we were distantly related.

voice;

[vimyridge]

...you never had the chance to ask, either, did you?

voice;

[tangledlocks]

It was uncanny, he looked like me.

.....I wanted to ask.

voice;

[vimyridge]

Perhaps... one day there will be a time and chance to do so. This place is sometimes strange like that, after all.

[tangledlocks]

Alice will be so upset.

voice;

[vimyridge]

[Alice... Alice... he was sure he spoke to an Alice before, but he didn't know if it was the same one or not.]

She still has you around, right?

voice;

[tangledlocks]

She seemed much closer to Oz, than myself.

voice;

[vimyridge]

During a time like this, I think she'll appreciate knowing that she has friends who care.

voice;

[tangledlocks]

Mattie, we're going looking for a house, okay?

[He sighs a little.] I have a feeling I'm about to ask Alice to move in with us...
