Hey guys. [her tone is surprisingly cheerful, even if her smile doesn't reach her eyes.]

Anyone who knew my little brother, Max? Yeah, he ended up leaving. He'll probably miss all of you. And the fact that he could just run down to Somni and get a new book whenever he wanted.

[she pauses, smiling fondly for a moment before shrugging.] Public

Max is gone?

[Video]

[nolessthanseven]

Yeah. Disappeared sometime this morning, I guess. His bed was empty.

[Video]

[madcuriosity]

Oh... I'm sorry.

[nolessthanseven]

It's fine. People go home all the time here. [how to deal: shrug it off and move on with life. Even if you never get to see them again.]

[chiavarone]

The boy with the glasses?

I'm sorry to hear it. [Smiles] I think he was friends with Kyouya. Ahaha, I'm not sure if it was mutual, but he looked like a good kid.

[nolessthanseven]

Yeah, he was. He was a great kid. [she smiles back slightly.] I'm not sure what the house is going to be like without him.

[chiavarone]

We lost a young friend recently as well. Syaoran, did you know him?

He worked at the onsen.

[nolessthanseven]

Never met him, no. Guess it's that time again, huh?

You miss him?

[failssassin]

[Aw man, life doesn't give you a break Izzy, does it?]

Hey....I'm sorry...

[He shifts slightly, forcing himself to be considerate]

How's Jace taking it? [Since he knows how close they all are in this family]

[nolessthanseven]

[not lately, no. What is up with that, man?

[Isabelle moves straight past the mundie condolences, nodding in reply - because it's polite - and shrugs.] I don't know. He's asleep.

[failssassin]

[Hey, maybe she got some of his bad universal luck? Desmond raises an eyebrow slowly]

Coma sleeping?

[No, no, he's not considering playing pranks on the blond. What would you think that, really?]

[nolessthanseven]

[she wouldn't doubt it.]

Yeah. Coma sleeping. I'm alone in a house with two queens and a couple of freeloaders.

[fluorite_flux]

I see ... that seems to be going around quite a bit recently. [Looks about how he feels inside right now.]

[nolessthanseven]

Sounds like it, yeah. Someone you were close to, I guess?

[fluorite_flux]

Very, but ... he's come and gone a great deal ...

[nolessthanseven]

That sucks. Kind of like my eldest brother. He likes to come and go. But it's been a while since he last came. It was mostly just 'go'.

[unindicative]

[...]

I'm sorry, Isabelle-san...

[nolessthanseven]

Hey, it's not your fault. [she smiles, teasing.] Unless it is, of course.

[unindicative]

I don't think it is...

[... Given his typical monotone expression and tone, it's hard to tell whether he's teasing back or not.]

Did he disappear when we were living those lives?

[nolessthanseven]

[she laughs anyway. Better to assume that he is.]

No. I think he left just now, actually. I still remembered him all throughout, so that must have meant that he was still here, right?

Anyway, his bed was empty when I woke up this morning.
