[July is sitting there quietly in his room with a hand touching a little mirror of his. In his lap sits a teddy bear that Setsuna gave him before he left. It looks like he's content to let the days of noise pass by while he just sits there.

Really he's watching people out on the streets right now and not saying anything about that. He was told not to, after all.

Looking over at his device, he tilts his head.]

This is the second day. Will everyone leave tonight?

[beyourarmy]

Do you want us to leave?

[through_glass]

[Oh. Setsuna.]

People leave eventually.

[beyourarmy]

Yeah.... I just meant I could leave sooner if you wanted.

[through_glass]

You do not have to.

[beyourarmy]

I won't, then.

Do you think anything about the changes this place is taking on? Or does it not matter to you?

[through_glass]

[He shakes his head. Nope. Doesn't matter. He has Hatter so he's good.]

[beyourarmy]

[A light chuckle.]

It was worth a shot to ask.

You know, if I could remember any of this to miss you, I would.

[through_glass]

That is fine.

[beyourarmy]

Don't you miss anyone?

[through_glass]

To miss someone is to feel.

[beyourarmy]

We're back to that, huh?

You really don't feel at all?

[through_glass]

I am a Doll.

[beyourarmy]

I still don't get how that means you don't feel anything.

[through_glass]

Dolls are not made to feel.

[beyourarmy]

That's kind of messed up and twisted.

And I'm not sure it works that way.

[through_glass]

It does.

[worldofourown]

Would you rather we stay?

[ Hi, July, hi~ ]

[through_glass]

It does not matter.

[worldofourown]

Surely it does.

I doubt very much you'd like it if we all disappeared tomorrow, including your watchful guardian.

[through_glass]

[He tilts his head.]

Mad Hatter will not leave.

[worldofourown]

You can't be sure of that, little one.

This is the City. People come and go all the ti~ime.

[through_glass]

I know this.

[worldofourown]

Then how can you be sure she'll stay, any longer than the rest of us?

[through_glass]

Because she is Mad Hatter.

[worldofourown]

That's got nothing to do with anything.

Although it is touching, the amount of faith you have in her.

[through_glass]

Faith?

[worldofourown]

Just a word, little one. But it encompasses a great number of things.

A strong belief in someone or something. Loyalty and allegiance. Hope and trust. But you can see how easy it would be to shatter.

[through_glass]

I do not have beliefs.

[worldofourown]

Hm. Hm. Hm.

So you say. Yet everything you'd said so far about Mad Hatter leads me to think otherwise.

[through_glass]

[Head tilt.]

[worldofourown]

[ Smiiiiile. ]

[through_glass]

[More silence. If you aren't going to say anything then he won't either.]

[worldofourown]

[ That's okay, you and Karl can just creepily stare and smile at each other, respectively. ]

[ Until Karl gets bored and leaves, anyway. ]

[through_glass]

[All the creepy staring.]

[sleepingstar]

Do people often leave?

video;

[through_glass]

Yes.

[sleepingstar]

How do you know that something else hasn't happened to them?

video;

[through_glass]

They return and say they have gone home.

video;

[sleepingstar]

All of them?

video;

[through_glass]

Those that return.
