Again.   [Prydain's voice is flat, curt] ....Umi's frequency's gone.

There's only so much of this I can take.

[sigh]

Alright. Let's figure out guard schedules all over again. And figure out who's doing cooking and water duty.

...Later. Right now I'm going out to take care of some monsters.

I'm sorry, Prydain. I'm sure, one day, you'll see each other again! [Ahh, the feeling is so familiar, and honestly? That last part was kinda half-hearted. Even she has doubts about that.

But those words are what people need to hear sometimes, and it's the only thing she knows how to say when friends leave.]

[not_riku_thx]

That isn't the point. I know she could come back. I know she might remember.

I'm just sick of losing people I knew I could rely on.

[kagayakashi]

[Yeahup. Definitely familiar.]

...Is there anything I can do?

[not_riku_thx]

Not really. I don't know what to do.

Some day, I can't help thinking that all of us will go away.

Umi...

She is having person at home she should see again. Mother, father, friends.

One day, we are be able to see again.

[Voice]

[not_riku_thx]

It's still not...

Everyone keeps saying that.

What if you leave me, Yorda? What then?

[Voice]

[sing_nonomori]

I will find you again.

[Voice]

[not_riku_thx]

You can really promise me that?

[toward_dawn]

...You and this Umi were close? [He didn't know her--or well, wouldn't really remember her if he did.]

If you need a hand around Gohl...let me know.

[not_riku_thx]

Umi's lived here with us...pretty much since the beginning of the house. More than two years now.

No. This is my place. I don't need you nosing into my life, Riku.

[toward_dawn]

...A long time...I'm sorry.

I wasn't nosing. In this place we need to work together, right? [Especially with recent events.]

...Just forget I said anything.

[not_riku_thx]

You've got your best friends. I have mine. Lucky for you, someday you'll go back to yours forever. Me, this world is the only one I've really had.
