The Duchess of Moldova, Mirka Fortuna, departed from the City today. She left well-wishes to me... in a note. I have recently returned from the Hall of the Missing and her portrait has appeared to my relief. I suspected she wouldn't walk out during daylight.

To all the friends she made, I bid you farewell on Her Grace's behalf.

{Angel}Thank you

How many remain from your world?

[mercifulsun]

There's only me, Henry. But Aigis lives here too with Bashir and Nadira returning soon, we will be "four".

[stokerwasahack]

How do you mean?

[mercifulsun]

Four occupants in the apartment? Bashir and Nadira won't be with us all the time; they can roam on a top floor apartment.

"Duchess"..?

Someone from your world has gone home?

1/2

[mercifulsun]

The Duchess of Moldova? Ahh... yes, now I am the only one.

[mercifulsun]

Uta... You are feeling...fine?

[songofdreams]

I'm sorry to hear that... It must be hard to be on your own.

[theotokos]

Aw, Sharhazad, I hope you're not alone.

[mercifulsun]

I have another roommate.

[child_radical]

Would that make you the only person from your world left here?

[mercifulsun]

Yes, Huey. Like you, mm?

[child_radical]

Yeah.

Do you have any roommates or pets with you to counteract the ticking?

[mercifulsun]

Aigis is still with me. She's a roommate. And soon Bashir and Nadira will return to live with us. They were the Duchess of Moldova's pets.

I"m sorry to hear that your friend went home.

[mercifulsun]

I am a traitor to the Empire. Her Grace wasn't my friend, but she was an intelligent woman. She'll be needed at home.

[acceptingeyes]

Oh...

I wasn't aware.

[mercifulsun]

It's alright. I did it to help my uncle, but a crime is a crime.
