Chapter 49 | An emptiness

[vitative]

I dreamed of home...

When we were all together.

...

... I... feel strange. There is... an emptiness... that I cannot explain...

It hurts...

Empty...? Do you need refueling or... something?

[vitative]

No... it would be easier were it something simple like that.

... It is more like... an emotion.

[weaponsparked]

... Ah. That.

It should... pass. If past experiences have anything to say about it.

[vitative]

... It is painful.

[glowbrighter]

.....you miss your friends, huh?

[vitative]

They were the closest thing to a family that I had... Yes... I miss them dearly.

[glowbrighter]

...yeah, yeah, I get that. I feel the same way 'bout my friends..one's here but I still miss the others.

[vitative]

... But I am also happy here. I do not understand how to feel.

[tooshallpass]

I think... you might just be homesick. I'm sorry.

[vitative]

I have been here for some time. It is a strange time to strike me.

[tooshallpass]

O-oh... I'm sorry! Er, how long if you don't mind my asking..?

[vitative]

Sorry?

I have been here seven months, now.

[hourai_branch]

Loneliness.

[vitative]

But I am not lonely. Not with Minato-san here.

[hourai_branch]

But there are others, right?
