sixteen [voice]

[wirewings]

[Sue is crying. She's crying quite a bit. For awhile, it's all she can do, in some obvious distress.]

[When she speaks, her voice is choked with tears.]

Why...? Why are they all gone?

So many people that I love... Why am I the one left behind? I want to go with them.

But I can't leave here...

[A simple plea. She continues to sniffle and sob

It'll be ok, Sue. We'll find them. Or they'll come back. I don't think things will be left at this.

[wirewings]

[Sniffs.]

Will they? All of them?

[piccolo_rico]

I can't make promises, but... it's what I believe.

[wirewings]

...Sometimes it is very hard to believe things.

[piccolo_rico]

I know. But to me it's hardest when I don't believe anything.

[wirewings]

To not believe in anything...

Yes. That would be worst of all.

[piccolo_rico]

It is.

If you need anything, I'm down the hall, ok?

[wirewings]

Thank you.

What's your name?

[piccolo_rico]

It's Rico. I know we haven't really talked before, but us Gohl people are supposed to stick together, right? Otherwise we'll probably get a lecture from Eald when he gets back.

[wirewings]

Yes-- yes, we should. Rico. It's nice to meet you.

[piccolo_rico]

You too, Sue.
