[Staring at the door back to her world, clenching her hat in her hands. It's right there, a peaceful world, the war is over, everything is done, her brother is waiting for her. But that's not the door she wants to go through.]

[Well. He...should have known this day was going to come. He's never had a reason to return to his world, though. The only thing that waited for him there was death anyway. Here, he was finally happy, settled down and married to Eloi/Joyd. Married. Who knew that was ever going to happen, with his string of bad luck?
Guess...the only thing to do know was give those painful good-byes.]
[He was sure he wanted to leave, but now he's undecided. Staring at the door. His contractor side was telling him to go, go back to his usual life. Go back to being a loyal contractor. But another part of him wanted to stay. Staying will guarantee his freedom, but he will never see the people he cared about. If he went then what? Go back to killing and being a subject of experiments. The only positive would be seeing his family. A family he has missed greatly. Taking a hesitant step forward.]
[In some ways, it's a miracle someone like Lenalee managed to survive in the DR as long as she has. Even her resolve has its limit, and she'd found herself straining at the edge of it upon living here for more than a decade, drifting in and out of restlessness until one day, she finally realized she'd grown old here
( ... )
[At least one thing she can count on is that Solo will never stop asking her uncomfortable questions. And by now, she's too familiar with them to bother pretending uneasy. Worn down like driftwood.] ...Yes.
[Ten years wasn't long to someone who had lived as long as Kanda. Apart from the vampires, he had been one of the only ones to never get any older. Long time residents sometimes mistook him for a newbie, considering how lackingly social he was.
It had been several years since his last trip home. His Alma had never shown up again, but Olive was waiting for him on the other side of that door, possibly barely missing him if time was still slow in his world. His roommates had taken to the little girl, although there had been many questions--and still more for him when he came home.
So why his hesitation? He looked down at the small box in his hands.]
Let go, idiot. [He had watched the lines grow on everyone's faces as his stayed the same it had for more than a hundred years. He hadn't stayed places long enough to see that happen before.

...So?

Besides, it would have been one party where merriment would of have outweighed strange side effects.

[Glancing over at Lavi.]
...What's more important to you, family or your freedom? [Murmuring. He turns his attention back to the door]

[Smiles brightly at him, shoving his hands in his pockets]
Though my thoughts would be... what's the point of having freedom if you don't have anyone to enjoy it with?

Worried?

You've probably faced more scary things here than you might see out there. Then again it does lack the rather crude safety net this place has created.
