...To anyone who knew Sylvia van Hossen, she's been sent back to her own world.
[He sounds more terse about delivering this than he normally would. Delivering several of these messages over the past few months like this has left him rather tired of doing it. Still, to anyone who knows him, he's probably more upset than he's letting on. ( Read more... )

This is a dream. A miracle to form bonds that in any other way would be impossible to form.
But she's an android. She's not made to form bonds. She's made to serve a purpose and fill a role. Meeting these people is wonderful, but does it really matter to her? What's the point of her, an android, getting close to anyone but her master?
She liked the people in the house, she lived with them, laughed with them. She has friends outside of the house as well. Usopp, Vash, Haruhi, Winry, Brook, Raven... But they too will leave. Eventually, for sure, all of them will go back to their worlds, Usopp already did even if he returned, but who knows if it will happen again. Luka leans against the wall languidly as she watches her master deal with his anger and frustration.
He too will leave one day.
He will return to his world, to his family, reunite with his mother, father and siblings, the friends he had there. But it's different from anyone else leaving. Because she had made the decision of self erasing all her data the moment he leaves. She doesn't want him to become another part of the genderless and faceless Master figure that she can only recall upon thinking on previous Masters. So it's okay even if he leaves, she doesn't worry about that or about what she will do, say or think. She will be gone too.
But she can't do that for every person that leaves. And erasing the data regarding them would only hurt those who remain even if it would be a plausible solution for her. Maybe she should just keep herself from storing that data, from meeting more people that will be lost sooner or later. She has Adell and Charle, Usopp, Vash, Haruhi, Winry, Brook and Raven, she has more than enough, there's no need or point in adding more. Right?]

But with a heavy sigh, he speaks, without turning around. He knows you were watching him.]
Luka...

She blinks, slightly surprised by him talking to her.]
The house has become bigger again.

...but I liked it like that, with everyone so close. Now it just feels... a lot more empty. But not completely.

[She... Liked it better that way too? She can't say. It was pointless after all.]

Luka... are you all right? ...And please, be honest with me.
[He knows how you are by now. Sometimes.]

Charlotte is going to be really hurt, more than whatever the Malnosso can do to her now.

...All we can do is be there for her when she gets back. The two of us will just have to do the best we can for her.

And those memories are... precious. Important. They define a part of who we are. It hurts not having Sylvia here, but... I wouldn't take it back.

Meaning Sylvia has had an impact all over again. But it's moving on because you accept that impact as part of your life and carry on as best you can.
Reply
To think that you're moving on in this place seems as a naive idea.

Even if it feels like we're spinning our wheels in Luceti right now, as utterly frustrating as it is, I refuse to believe that this is it for us. I still believe we're gonna set things right eventually. I say accepting the wheels spinning and not doing something about it is more foolish than trying to make the best of a bad situation.
