[And Katara's voice is remarkably distressed.]

Losing people you care about - it never gets easier, does it? Never, ever, ever.

[A pause.]

Cloud's gone. From the castle. That's -- all, I guess.

Comments

[chosengigolo]

Friend of yours?

[kyasdaughter]

Yeah. He was like my brother.

[chosengigolo]

Oh...sorry to hear that.

You gonna be alright?

[kyasdaughter]

Yeah. Just wish I had someone to blame. But he wanted to go home.

[siebter]

I'm sorry...he was nice, wasn't he?

[ Oh, that's not good. ]

[kyasdaughter]

He was. And - he wasn't happy, here.

[siebter]

Then I guess it's good...that he went back, right?

[kyasdaughter]

It was. I just wish I'd gotten to say goodbye.

[is0latedthinker]

No, but we have to move on anyway. We don't have to forget, though.

[Oh, that's what this is about.]

He's a good man. And he managed to find what he wanted. I'm sorry you're feeling down.

[kyasdaughter]

You knew him?

[is0latedthinker]

Ah, yes - not as well as you seem to, though. We discussed theories about the castle. [Placed your voice yet? Nope, he hasn't.]

Unfortunately we never got too far.

[kyasdaughter]

-- oh!

[The voice suddenly rings a bell.]

This is Alan, right?

[thedicearecast]

I'd start to get worried if it did.

[Not that Amelia knows Cloud, but she knows how loss feels. That's enough to earn a comment.]

Sorry that you lost someone.

[kyasdaughter]

.. it's okay. I think I'm just - sad that I really might never see him again. We were from different worlds.

[thedicearecast]

Yeah, I get it. It's a little bit like they died, at least for you.

[Right down to the "going to a better place" bit.]

[kyasdaughter]

I try not to think about it like that.
