... I don't know. It always feels random.

Yuffie... will be with her friends at least, but Vin... [ well, vin is also probably friends with plenty of the dead. but vin also has a boyfriend here! so damn!!! ]

[undread]

Poor Vin. She was so brave. Everyone really counted on her.

[killies]

I didn't get to know her very well, but she seemed nice. Capable, too.

But so are you, Ashlyn. I'm sorry I couldn't help you this week. I was scared something bad would happen.

[killies]

Everyone is doing as much as they can. It's not your fault that there isn't much that can be done.

[undread]

Still. I didn't want to leave you alone.

[killies]

I know.

Th... [ words are hard, so she stumbles awkwardly over this one a little. but she's gotten a little better at saying it over the past few weeks. ] Thanks.

Are you doing alright?

[undread]

No. I miss Yuffie.

[killies]

I'm sorry.

Hearing that we'll see everyone again probably isn't that comforting in the moment.

[undread]

No. It isn't. They might be lying, anyway.

[killies]

I don't think they would lie about that.

[undread]

You can't know for sure. People lie all the time.

[killies]

Not for no reason. And I don't think anyone is stupid enough to think lying about this would help them or us.

[undread]

We'll find out.

[killies]

... Yeah. This won't go on much longer.

[undread]

For you especially, right?

[pâté flaps his wings, looking up at laudna, who shakes her head at him.]

Be nice.

[killies]

You think so?

That's not up to me.

[undread]

Not me either. We'll find out.
