[happy sunday, mathis. she's a little while after execution, looking a bit drawn and unhappy. but she'll approach him.]

Mathis. How are you faring?

[cumulative]

Um, as well as I can be...

[which is the most anyone can probably say today, really.]

[undread]

You were quite. Overcome yesterday.

[she's not judging she understands sometimes you gotta let the crazy out. just commenting.]

I'm sorry about Lucas.

[cumulative]

Y-yes. Sorry... I wasn't expecting...

[sometimes your trauma buttons just get stomped.]

...but thank you.

I understand. Don't apologize for the intensity of your feelings.

[she can't blame yuffie for what she did but she can't blame mathis, either. feelings can be a powderkeg. hers generally are.]

It was painful enough for it to happen, let alone to happen that way.

[cumulative]

It was. Once I realized it had to be him...

[...he shakes his head. there was only ever going to be one result. lucas dying, one way or another.]

We already lost Cloud and Aerith, and then for Lucas to be gone too...

It's going to be so quiet.

I don't know how we're meant to carry on like this, with all this loss. But we must.
