[To anyone who knows Aerith, they might be able to tell that she's a little less chipper than normal, like she's trying to hide the fact that the smile she wears is a little fake, a little forced.]I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas! We don't celebrate it where I'm from, but it seemed like a lovely holiday. I'm glad I got to experience it

He really comes and goes...

[ih8spiders]

[Oh... he feels like he said something wrong just now.]

[She just smiles softly in return.]

You're worrying too much again, Kurapika.

[Video]

[ih8spiders]

I'm sorry. [It's his default mode, really.]

[Video]

[thishealingwind]

It's okay.

[Because hopefully that will make him feel better than telling him to stop apologizing.]

Thanks for worrying about me. And Cloud.

[He does feel better.]

It's difficult not to. We should be happy for people going home, but the circumstances being what they are... [Zack being dead back where he came from, for one thing.]

[Video]

[thishealingwind]

Mm, I understand. I worry, too, sometimes.

[She glances away for a second, looking thoughtful.]

But, really, even if I need to go back someday, it won't be so bad. I'll be more upset about leaving my friends behind than anything else.

[Being dead isn't so bad, not in her world. And she has a job she can do there~]

You've accepted your... situation, what you'll be going back to in your world? [You're all right with being dead, is what he can't bring himself to ask.]

[She just nods.]

Well, of course. It's been quite awhile, after all. And there's nothing I can do to change it. Some things are just meant to be the way they are, I think.

[She chuckles.]

Really, it's not so bad as you might think. I'm not alone, there.

You mean... you're referring to... an afterlife?
