They won't be found unless they want to be. Otherwise, they're gone. So shut up and stop looking.

[ Wh-What happened to the kind boy who offered Tohma cake?! ]

Well, that's one way to get your message across....

[whiteduplicity]

[oh oops did i lose my niceness]

Ah, it is true...

[blameshimself]

Can you really blame them for looking, though?

oops this is [text]

[whiteduplicity]

Perhaps not. I just wouldn't want them to waste their time looking for something that can't be found.

[blameshimself]

I'm sure the fact that they're spending energy looking for them is comforting.

['What an idiotic notion...']

False comfort, then? The truth will only crash down harder on them.

I wouldn't call it false hope. If it turns out they're really not gone, I'm sure everyone will feel a bit better. Something like, "at least I tried" or something to that effect.

To most people, it's better than sitting back and doing nothing. To others, it's annoying.

[whiteduplicity]

But they are.

[text]

[blameshimself]

Maybe.

Regardless, it doesn't really concern me.

[whiteduplicity]

Not missing anyone?

[text]

[blameshimself]

They're not from my world.

[text]

[whiteduplicity]

So it doesn't matter to you.

[text]

[blameshimself]

Not really.

[whiteduplicity]

How considerate of you.

[blameshimself]

For most of us, home is much safer than here anyway.

[whiteduplicity]

True. Hopefully they'll be able to get over any loss quickly!
