[Utena's voice is a little tight and quiet, barely under control.]

Himemiya's... I didn't see her today and Chu-Chu was on my bed. I tried to find her after the dodgeball game and I looked in the greenhouse too, but she wasn't there. [Lamely, she adds:] Her frequency's gone.

I... [And it's all she can stand to just choke out the next few words.]

[not_riku_thx]

Anthy is gone?

[princelyrose]

Yeah. She's gone home.

[not_riku_thx]

I'm sorry... These dumb scientists.

I'm sure Yorda will keep the roses nice for her, in case she ever comes back.

[princelyrose]

I'll help. I'll- I'll keep watering them and tending to them too.

...It's not fair.

[betrayedblade]

I am sorry, Utena. It is for the best.

[princelyrose]

...I know. It's better that she's back with her brother anyway. I'll just miss her.

[betrayedblade]

I know, piccina.

[princelyrose]

[Oh man, don't upset the kid.]

I'm okay, don't worry. Just...a little down.

i have no idea if they would have met in the gohl house aaah ;;

[embracethewaves]

Himemiya...you mean Anthy? Even she got sent home...

they probably have by now, I'd think

[princelyrose]

Yeah, she's gone. I'm sorry, Umi.

works for me! \o/ and sorry about the late reply

[embracethewaves]

Hey. That should be my line, right? She was your friend from home...

[pimpslaprose]

Anthy is gone?

[princelyrose]

Mmhm. She went home, I guess.

[pimpslaprose]

....

I know you can't understand how hard it is for me to say this, but it might be for the best that she has left.

[princelyrose]

[She believes him, so it takes her a few moments to reply.]

I just...don't want her to be alone. Even with Akio there-
