Guys? Uhm...

...A-Axel's gone. H-He's not... He's not at home 'n he's not in the list anymore. I knew it was only a matter of time before someone else left, but I wasn't expecting it to be so soon, y'know? [When Demyx's voice begins to crack, he has to pause and breathe to try and calm himself.] I dunno how people know when they're leaving, b-but

[She doesn't know who he is or even his name but... the sadness in his voice is enough to move her. She wonders a moment if it was wise to speak to him despite knowing nothing about his predicament... but the heart won over the mind.]

I'm... sorry. I know there isn't much else that I can say but... reach out to those who are still here. With them, they'll help you ease the pain and I hope that you can recover...

[Oh... did she say too much? Maybe she shouldn't have said anything at all...]

Y-Yeah. ...Yeah. I-I mean, this happened twice before with someone else and I just kinda came to terms with it last month, so... I mean, I still miss him and everything b-but I've got the scarf that Braig had 'n then our cat. It's gonna take me awhile but it should be a little easier cuz people liked him more.

[A sniff.]

This never gets any easier.

... no. It doesn't.

[She would know. Being cut off from the ones you care for like family and your home... stuck in a world filled in darkness. You hold on to hope but... the feeling is still there. It hurts.]

But to grieve, for a time, helps us to appreciate the ones we care for that are no longer with us. And we are thankful for those who are still here.

It... reminds you of the connection you have with your friends. You have to hold on to it, no matter what.

You don't have to tell me twice. It's just... I'm always gonna miss 'em and hope I see them again cuz back home we're all sort of uh, gone. I dunno what'll happen to us now that we've faded.
