It's not that I would want anyone stuck here, but so many of my friends have left it would be nice to see at least one of them today.

[He's looking through the crowds as he speaks.] If any of you are here we should meet. [And he'll be just about anywhere, searching for people he knows.]

Yes, for the short time she was here, we were. Her, and Rita-san, too. [He doesn't mind. He never wants to forget her, or any of them.]

I was a little worried at first, since people leave all the time. But they seem very happy about it.

[video]

[prettyimpulsive]

[Then Rita is gone too?]

I think when it's something like love you have to take risks like that even when it might not seem wise. [She might be thinking of Suzaku and Justin now.]

[video]

[oceantrauma]

[Yes. And Yuri. And Flynn.]

I guess.... I don't know what any of that feels like, not yet.

[video]

[prettyimpulsive]

[She hadn't dared hope she'd see Yuri again. Or Flynn.]

You will someday.

[video]

[oceantrauma]

Maybe. But I would rather it not be here. Not when I might lose the person at any point. Losing my friends is hard enough.

[video]

[prettyimpulsive]

It isn't really the kind of thing you choose or predict, but I hope when it does happen for you that it's long and happy.

[video]

[oceantrauma]

I probably have a long ways off before anything like that happens, even so.

But thank you, Euphie-san. I feel like...the City's been a little different ever since you left. Or maybe it just changes a little every time anyone leaves.

[prettyimpulsive]

And when someone arrives. There might be a lot of leaving here, but there's a lot of new faces too.

[video]

[oceantrauma]

Yes, that's true, too. [But he looks away as he says that. He's shy, and has trouble meeting new people, sometimes.]

[video]

[prettyimpulsive]

[Noticing the indicator.] It's the newest people who need thoughtful guides. [Like you.]

[video]

[oceantrauma]

Yes. That's likely true, too. It is scary coming here, at first.

[video]

[prettyimpulsive]

It can be. Everything is so different.

[video]

[oceantrauma]

There are some that don't believe the situation, though. Not that I can blame them.

[video]

[prettyimpulsive]

It is a hard thing to believe, but it's harder to go on disbelieving it. What else would it be but your life after some time?

[video]

[oceantrauma]

Now that you've said it like that, I've gotten used to being here. Thinking of Charlie and Merlin-san's place as my home. Still, it provides for a harsh shock.

[He's still too shy to properly greet people, though. He tries, sometimes.]

[video]

[prettyimpulsive]

I really am very happy you've found them. [She's grateful to them too for taking him in. He deserves a family.]

[video]

[oceantrauma]

[But he does miss her.] Thank you, Euphie-san.

I'm sure you have plenty of other people to see today, so I'm glad you took some time out to talk to me.

[video]

[prettyimpulsive]

I do have someone I need to go see, but I'm glad we talked too and I hope we can again, Ken.

[video]

[oceantrauma]

So do I. Take care, Euphie-san.
