Hey. So... I heard what happened.

[Saunters into the studio, taking a soft drag and exhaling the smoke with a sigh. Sliding his back down the wall and dropping onto his rear, roughly level with her now]

People die... Friends. Family. When its their time... its their time.

[Was flicking his lighter open and closed as he spoke]

[Kyoku sniffed, rubbing at her eyes as she looked up at him. They were already red with hours of crying.] It wasn't... wasn't even in battle it was just so sudden...

[The lighter was flicked closed when he answered her]

That should be of some comfort.

Did he feel any pain when he went? Any suffering?

[A flick open]

If not. Then its probably a better death than most others.

No, it was a heart attack in the middle of the night. Just was found dead in his apartment.

[She sighs.] I know. I just... I just wish I could be there for the funeral. We were close, y'know? He taught me about how to compose music.

That's life for you. At least the guy's getting a chance for one...

Hell. At least his body's still in one piece and in the casket.

[Luger shivers uncontrollably as the memories of what he's seen on the way out of his home seeped into his mind. No. Now was not-. He puts out his cigarette on the back of his hand. No. He wasn't having a panic attack now. A sharp breath and the pain lets him focus and lets him have some clarity.]

Kyoku. Every person I knew for more than a single second, and people I never even met before I got on this boat? They're gone. In one of the most horrible ways imaginable. And to top that off the only person who'll remember just a bare handful of them is me... and I'm not even that healthy.

[Luger flicks the spent butt into a waste basket close by before putting a hand on her shoulder.]

You can't be at the funeral. Tough. But he'd probably understand. Just make it up to him by visiting the grave.

You have a point. [Kyoku pulls her knees up to her chest and wraps her arms around it.]

I knew being part of Project DIVA would mean I would lose someone someday. I fight to make sure no one dies and protect the world from the Noise. And yet... it just feels hard, when I lose just one person.

I'll visit it when we make a stop in Hyoushi.

[Luger promptly puts a hand on her head with a wry smile.]

You do that kid. He'll probably be happy to see you. Well...yeah you know what I mean.

[With that he gets up and lights up another one. His eye watching the flickering flame of his lighter as it did its work.]

[Kyoku nods. She was going to comment on his chain smoking but remembered what he said, so she politely declined.]

Yeah, I'll do that then.
