Sakura and Iori have left us.
Shinku, as well... The victory is bittersweet.

...And the silence is deafening.

...Does anyone need me for anything..? I think I should find a distraction for the rest of today...

The silence?

Do you need some company? You're Haseo's...friend, yes?

[witheredblade]

'Friend'... Yes, that's a way of putting it... He's so much more than that to me..

Company would be nice, if it's not too much trouble...

[betterassister]

Well...if you'd like to come down to Marshall Street, for a little while...now that the power's on, I'm about to do the neighbors a favor and spend the evening doing some communal laundry.

...and I would really like someone to hang around talk to, myself.

[witheredblade]

I'll help out, if you'd like... Haseo is with Shino tonight, so... I have little else to occupy my time...

I'd be glad to offer assistance...

[dreamermoa]

You...can always come over, if you need some company...

[witheredblade]

...Perhaps. I may be spending time with Nani for now...

[xxadeptroguexx]

Victory?

Damn it. You think they're better off, Kaoru..?

[witheredblade]

I'm not going to hide my hatred of her.

...It's not my place to say...

[xxadeptroguexx]

I know you hated her, but why was this a victory?

I'm so tired of the scientists doing this...

[witheredblade]

...I'm not ready to say... But soon.

...I.. I'm sorry... I hope I won't be taken from you...or otherwise...

[colormywings]

Endrance? You're back!

[witheredblade]

Ah! Yes, I am... Sorry I took so long, I managed to catch a cold somehow...

We can still play, like I promised. I'm better now...

[colormywings]

It's okay, I'm glad you're better!

W-We don't have to.

[witheredblade]

Thank you, Marlene..

No, no, I'd still like to. Let's play outside today.

It seems like a lot of people are leaving lately.

It'd be less annoying if we knew where they went.

[witheredblade]

...And with you and Keigo gone, the building will be empty, aside from myself...

I prefer to believe they've gone home... Since... Well, the alternatives aren't pleasant at all. And it's not so harsh when someone important leaves, as long as you know they're happy...

[panoplied]

I'm pretty sure Keigo would be eager to visit you. He seems to like you a lot; he speaks highly of you.

..Yeah it'd be nice if that's what happens.

[witheredblade]

...I'm happy to hear that... But I'm sure you're aware... what type of person I am. I'm not unaccustomed to the silence, so I won't ask for anyone to go out of their way...

I was told that it was what happened to Namine... So I will hold that as truth for everyone.
