Day 15 | ~ World's End Umbrella ~

[irreversibly]

[Like last time, Xion is searching out her friends. Anyone and everyone she talked to, all the people she met here -- She wants to meet with them, talk to them, find out if they're staying or leaving, say good-bye if it's the latter. Unlike last time, though, her spirits are higher. She can stay. She can stay and still be helpful, still search for

[Ichijou, similarly, can be found wandering through the entire station with a somewhat dazed look on his face, checking the whole place out as if it was the first time he'd seen it. Since Nathan left him with the responsibility of taking care of it in everyone else's absence, he feels that it's his inherited property, and as such he has to familiarize himself with- oh hey, it's that kid who found the key to the lab. Things feel quite a bit different now that he doesn't see everyone around him as a potential threat.

With an uncharacteristically warm and sincere smile, he holds up a hand and waves a little with his fingertips.]

Are you looking for something? Or someone?

[irreversibly]

[Xion turns at the sound of Ichijou's voice. Ah... He's the one who really, really didn't want to leave. She smiles. She really is relieved that he hasn't been doomed to a horrible place.]

I'm looking for all of my friends. I'm hoping that I catch them before they go home, if they do.

[manicurious]

Ah, I see...

I should probably do the same, although I'm not sure that anyone would want to see me before they leave. But those who are staying don't have much of a choice, since I'll be maintaining this place as a sort of base of operations and doing my best to make it a pleasant place to visit.

I'll be seeing you, right?

[irreversibly]

I don't know why not. You're one of us. [And everyone's nice -- she can't imagine that he doesn't have friends here.

Xion blinks as what Ichijou said registers.] You're going to be taking care of this place...? That's great!

[Then, she smiles.] Yeah, you will. I'm staying, too.
