[There's a silence, for a long moment -- before Rei finally works up the nerve to say something. She sounds tired.]

It's getting a lot harder to keep believing everything has a purpose in this place.

[There's a long rush of air as Rei exhales.]It's almost as if the Animus don't want us here -- but if that's true, then why have I been here for

-=He already knows people have left.=-

... Mayhaps it is not the Animus who keep us here. Another force...

[marsfireignite]

Then what is it?

[golden_hawke]

I do not know.

[marsfireignite]

That's what drives me insane.

[Video]

[buntails]

I'm sorry, Rei-chan.

[The video shows her in her room, sitting on her bed with her back leaning against the wall, eyes half-closed.]

[Video]

[marsfireignite]

There's nothing to really be sorry over.

[Everyone goes home. Rei has accepted it as inevitable. And Rei is the only senshi who has not left to go home. Not once.

What bothers her is that she doesn't know why.]

[buntails]

[It might not help much, but it's all she can offer right now:]

I'm still here, Rei-chan. Just like we promised. Remember?

[Video]

[marsfireignite]

[There's half a smile.]

Right. I remember.

[Except, really, even Usagi had left -- even if it had only been for a week. But Rei keeps that idle thought to herself.]

[hexdontlie]

[Getting right down to business.]

Have you seen him yet?

[Because she thought Rei's next post was going to be about Castiel.]

[marsfireignite]

[There's a pause as Rei places what Jinx is talking about.]

-- yeah. He's home.

voice;

[hexdontlie]

Good. Now make sure he stays that way.

voice;

[marsfireignite]

He will.

[He argued with her for hours, insisting that he just wanted to go home. Rei is fairly certain he isn't going to go anywhere.]

[foundtheheart]

Believing that everything has a purpose is foolish. I see no signs to indicate that who comes, stays or leaves is determined by anything but chance.

[marsfireignite]

I don't believe in random chance.

[It's said absently.]

[sauceytomato]

...Company? [Simple question, nothing more.]

[marsfireignite]

[ ... ]

... sure. I'm home.

[sauceytomato]

I'll be a few.

[Pause.] Need anything?

[marsfireignite]

Aspirin.
