Nova, Usagi, Momotarou, Dash, and Seven- the female, pink-haired Seven- have all departed Edensphere.

[Pardon me while I playercest a bit.

Rick sees this entry and has to take some time to collect himself and push down the urge to reach for the booze. Losing Nova is almost as bad as losing Promise yet again.]

My door's open, kiddo. Last thing you need's to be alone right now.

Thank you.

Thanks for letting us know.

Stricken out very quickly

I hate this. I hate having to do it this way.

I feel like it's the least I could do.

[Seven and Nova in one hit. He had been hoping they'd stick around a while this time. And Dash too. Sad Bell is sad.]

Ah. Thanks.

[pompous_today]

Of course.

[weaver_girl]

I'll be over later.

[There's really nothing else she can say. They've both lost a loved one this time, and it never gets any easier.]

[pompous_today]

Thank you, meimei.

[weaver_girl]

[And she will be, with as many hugs as he needs. Sometimes there's not much else to offer but the knowledge that she's still here.]
