Aerith? Are you...

I can't feel Aerith around. I don't know if she's out there. Aerith? Are you okay? Can you read this?

Sora's... I can't feel Sora, either.

Something's wrong.

I think there's someone else missing, too.

Wait. You can feel if certain people are around?

[walkonmyhands]

If I'm around them enough, I can tell if their chi is still here or not.

[loopmein]

Their... "chi"...? As in, that old Chinese stuff about energy or life force, or anything of that sort? You can tell if they're still present or not?

[walkonmyhands]

Yeah, but I still need to know them. I need to know what it feels like to know if it's missing. And even then, I just know that they're not in the building... most of the time. But this feels different. This feels bad.

[welshonionmage]

S-sora's missing?

This is bad...Harry's missing too

[walkonmyhands]

That's three people... maybe four. How many are gone? What happened?

[welshonionmage]

I...really don't know Ty Lee. Harry and I even put up wards around here so I'm not sure how they got past them without alerting someone.

[walkonmyhands]

This isn't right. This isn't good.

[not_asoldier]

...

No.

No, they can't be missing. They just can't

[walkonmyhands]

I... think they are.

Normally I'd just say they're not in the hotel, but this really does feel different. This feels like they're... I don't even know. I couldn't feel them even after trying as hard as I could.

[not_asoldier]

Dammit!

She can't be missing!

[walkonmyhands]

Maybe she's... home.

[triosshield]

S-Sora's missing!?

[walkonmyhands]

I tried to find him, but I couldn't... I couldn't even sense his chi.

I'm sorry.

[triosshield]

And Aerith to...

It's okay, ya tried your best and at least now we know they're missing. Now we just have to find them.

[walkonmyhands]

I wish I knew where to start...
