[Maki is sitting on the beach - well, there's not all that much left of the beach, since it's high tide and higher than usual...shall we say 'seashore'? - a few yards from the water, next to a small pile of pebbles she's picking up mechanically one by one and attempting to skim across the water, with varying degrees of success, staring moodily out

Isn't it better to remember those we've lost than to forget just because it hurts?

[ano_nee]

Yeah, it is. But it hurts, anyway, and I don't have to be happy about that part.

[butterfly_trap]

No, you don't, but you still shouldn't try to forget the people who've made you who you are.

[ano_nee]

It's not that I was trying to forget them, I don't think I ever could do that, or that I'd want to - they're my family.
I was forgetting how much I missed them, is all. I was kind of getting used to the idea that I'm...I'm never going to see them again.

And then he went and reminded me that they're still alive and they're still doing stuff and getting along without me, and...I really, really want to see them again, now.

Are you okay there, little lady?

[ano_nee]

...

Yeah. I'm fine. Just sad.

[narraktig]

That doesn't sound good. And watch out for that water, please?
