[He checked Nectar and Omi's apartment already. He didn't want to believe it but he finally looked at his Dreamberry and confirmed the fact he'd been partly hoping wasn't true. Not when he knew what would become of his young friend in the future.

Sadly...there was no avoiding it now. The evidence was all there for him.]For those of you who were

[Aya had dreaded this day. It was bad enough that Omi had been there from the very beginning, just like her brother, there to meet her and take her to the apartments where she still lived. It was bad enough that she'd come to think of him like a little brother in his own right.

It was worse that Aya knew exactly what was waiting for him back at his home. The self-induced misery and the isolation, the complete powerlessness of anyone else-- including her-- to help change that. Omi's return meant whatever happiness he'd found in Somarium was over for him.

It was bad enough to miss someone and mourn the loss. It was worse to know that person had gone to a place where he was destined to suffer.

She's sitting on the edge of her bed, curled over and weeping. Clutched in her right hand is the heart-shaped locket Omi gave her just a month ago for her birthday, the thin chain draping about her forearm.

It's just not enough.]

[Ran finds here in her room and goes to sit next to her. Very gently, he wraps an arm around her and pulls her close to him. Closing his eyes, he just holds her like this. He isn't going to stop her from crying and telling her everything will be alright would be a lie. He can't bring himself to lie to her like that.

So, he'll just be there for her instead.]
