Guys? Uhm...

...A-Axel's gone. H-He's not... He's not at home 'n he's not in the list anymore. I knew it was only a matter of time before someone else left, but I wasn't expecting it to be so soon, y'know? [When Demyx's voice begins to crack, he has to pause and breathe to try and calm himself.] I dunno how people know when they're leaving, b-but

I-It's okay, dude. D-Don't...

[He rubs at his eyes with one hand, shielding his face from the SFC with the other.]

S-Sorry.

[Riku is silent for a long time, just... staring at the SFC in a shocked yet numbed state. While it was true that he hated the Organization for what they'd done to Sora, Axel and Demyx had at least been decent. To sense one less almost-nauseating presence and have it confirmed that the former left from the latter...

He closes his eyes, looking away from the device before standing to grab something from the shelf behind him.

'Axel...'

They'd been through a lot of strange shit since he arrived, somehow become tolerable of each other... become friends - something that he never thought would be possible with any Organization member. Yet he had, both with Axel and Demyx. Now one of them was gone, just like Sora. Like Joshua, Luka and Xion. All of his friends were disappearing one-by-one and he couldn't help but wonder: who would be next

[He feels you, bro.]

I-I never get to say g'bye.

[limitless_land]

[He feels for you too, man.]

...We never do.

[video]

[ninthserenade]

...I think me 'n Zexion are the only ones left.

['I've never felt like such a nobody.']

[Well, yet more unexpected news. But then between looking for a place to live, learning about the future and looking into the island above with it's revelations, he supposes its not surprising he hadn't noted Axel's presence here. It's not like he actually checks the list on his own SFC very often. Somehow he's not surprised at the reaction being given to the disappearance, but he's something at a loss as for how to respond to it personally.]

Are you all right, Demyx?

[Video]

[ninthserenade]

Yeah.

[He's making a point to not look at his SFC for the time being, staring down at Axel's note instead. He keeps telling himself that he shouldn't be this bothered by it, that it's happened before, and maybe he'll come back again, but it's actually harder to do that this time.]

...No.

[sechstel]

Would you like to talk or have company?

[He's obviously not that great at this comforting thing, but he's trying anyway. It's the least he can do for the blond. He wagers that being alone after losing someone isn't likely the greatest thing to be, thus the offer of company.]

[Video]

[ninthserenade]

...Company would probably be good. S'dumb but I could really use a shoulder to cry on or something.

[voice for shame of tears being seen]

[dystopiadreams]

Demyx...

*Tiny little baby whisper voice*

I'm...s-sorry...

*Stay strong, Selphie, stay strong*

voice;

[ninthserenade]

...I kinda wanna bust somethin' up.

[A beat.]

S'that weird?

voice

[dystopiadreams]

N-no...

I wanna break ev-er-y-thing.

*Selphie sounding bitter and angry, much?*

[Video]

[woe_corner]

...I guess asking if you're alright is kind of a stupid idea, huh?

[Huhmm... Oh, I know! Vices!]

Say, you wanna go get a drink?

[Video]

[ninthserenade]

[The best vice.]

Can we?
