[betrayedblade]

Kadaj? [...] Kadaj...

Has anyone seen him lately? Is he gone or has he just run off? He wasn't at his lesson the other day... I know he runs off sometimes without telling anyone...

But he's gone, isn't he?

[He sighs.] Go in peace, giovane.

[prodigal_axe]

Wait a minute... he's gone? Are you sure?

[betrayedblade]

I cannot find him. I cannot contact him.

[prodigal_axe]

[Checking frequency. Then a quiet but heated:]

God damn it. I can't believe this...

Maybe he'll show up again. Some of 'em are only gone for a week or two.

[betrayedblade]

Seifer did that.

And then he left too.

[betrayedblade]

As far as I can tell.

[betrayedblade]

Hopefully something better... if he can make it.

[The feed isn't on, but Minato is quiet for a long moment as he checks the network for Kadaj's signal.

Only after he realizes that it's no longer there does he turn it onto voice.]

... His frequency is gone.

[betrayedblade]

Yes.

[foxtamer]

I... see.

[Kadaj was like one of his children, in a way. ... He'll be missed.]

[betrayedblade]

[He sighs.] He's better off in his own world. [Supposedly.]

Kadaj? Un amico?

Mio amore... what do you mean that 'he is gone'?

((Translation: A friend?))

[audio]

[betrayedblade]

Yes.

He is gone. He has left Discedo and been returned home, or wherever else he was destined to go. It is not an unusual occurrence.

[A soft hum is heard over the communicator. She falls silent for a moment before speaking up again.]

People simple are gone? Without any warning?

[For some reason... that frightened her.]

[betrayedblade]

Generally speaking.

Mia amore, do not think much upon it. I am here.

[stray_cardinal]

Another one has left?

I am sorry.

[betrayedblade]

Yes.

I will be fine. I am more worried for his outcome than anything. But...I will simply have to make due.

[stray_cardinal]

At least you still have your family.

[betrayedblade]

I... yes. I am lucky in that regard.
