[It's obvious that V/V's been crying at least a little, and she wipes her eyes before speaking.]

You know how people disappear, sometimes? Godo's gone. All his things are gone too, and I can't call his number.

...I just thought I would tell people.

That doesn't mean anything. He could come back at any time.

[ At least, that's what he wants to believe. He can't handle losing his brother a second time... ]

[heavenscorpse]

I know, but... I'm still sad about it. He came here after his death, so he doesn't have anything to return to.

Gilgamesh, can I still come over?

[best_king]

[ Ouch. Talk about hitting close to home. But he linefaces through any emotions going off in his head and gives a soft nod. ]

Yeah, come on over. I'll be waiting.

[heavenscorpse]

Thank you. I'm really glad you're so nice to me.

[She's on her way.]

[best_king]

I told you, I'm not being nice.

[ He's just empathetic. Totally different thing. Except not. ]

[Knock knock knock on the condo door. She's not going to argue with him about it.]

[action]

[best_king]

[ She only had to knock once, silly. ]

Come and sit. We'll talk.

[ Because he's obviously good at this sort of thing. ]

[action]

[heavenscorpse]

Thank you.

[She has a seat on his couch. At least it's a comfy couch.]

[ Remember that thing about Gil being a bad influence? This is probably one of those times, because he's pulling out a bottle of wine and pouring a glass for her. Not enough to really have much of an effect, but it should serve is calming her nerves a little. He'll be handing it over to her shortly. ]

Drink this. It's not enough to make you act foolish, only enough to calm you down. I know how it is to... lose someone important to you.

[heavenscorpse]

[She nods, and gulps down half the glass.]

[action]

[best_king]

So? How do you feel, now?

[action]

[heavenscorpse]

About the same. Maybe a little calmer because I'm with someone.

[action]

[best_king]

[ A sigh. This wasn't going to be as easy as he had thought. ]

Very well. Tell me whatever is on your mind, and don't hold yourself back. At times like these, it's best to not bottle up emotions. They'll only serve to eat you up from the inside if you do.

...I miss him. He's been with me ever since I gained consciousness - I went to live with him because I didn't have anywhere else to go that made sense. Besides when I first came here, I never had a real life that didn't include him.

He threw me out the window a couple times when I first started bothering him, you know. I think I was pretty surprising. Over time he got used to me being there. And, right before he left for the last time, he told me he loved me.

I'm sad for myself, and I'm sad for him because he doesn't have anywhere to go. He was dead before he came here, so if he's gone back he probably goes back in the same state. But mostly I'm sad for me, because I miss him already.

I'm sorry, that didn't make much sense.

[ And that's when his hand will suddenly come down on top of her head, giving her a gentle pat. ]

It's alright to mourn over the loss of someone you love. It's never easy. You may never completly heal. But, they will always remain with you if you want them to. You know where, right?

[ He'll then proceed to trace the traditional image of a heart in front of her. Tacky, but it works. ]

The mind may often error and forget, but the heart? It will never forget. Love, hate, and sorrow. These are the things it excells at remembering. And each one of them is what makes us who we are. These memories of the heart are what shape us, and turn us into better people. So long as you just listen to it.

[V/V nods again, smiling softly.]

Thank you. I... I know I'll be okay, because I'm not alone here. I have you, and everyone else who cares about me.
