75th Devotion: Remembering the Dead

[favoritetraitor]

Mr. Xemnas. Assume control of the ARTEMIS Organization, if you will.

Likewise, I won't be coming in to work at the hospital. Could someone please cover my shifts? Or let someone in the administration know...

No. I just need some time.

[alittlewild.livejournal.com]

What...happened?

Private

[favoritetraitor.livejournal.com]

Marishka is no longer in the City.

Private

[alittlewild.livejournal.com]

Oh....I'm sorry...are you going to be okay?

Private

[favoritetraitor.livejournal.com]

Yes... I just need time to get used to the idea of not having her around.

Private

[alittlewild.livejournal.com]

If there's anything I can do let me know. Three people I was close to left here a few days ago.

Private

[favoritetraitor.livejournal.com]

Oh, I'm sorry.... It's not easy is it?

Private

[alittlewild.livejournal.com]

No. It's not. I guess it'd be easier if I could say they're better off. But not all of them are.

Private

[favoritetraitor.livejournal.com]

I believe this city has just gotten a bit more taxing... perhaps home is a better place to be.

Private

[alittlewild.livejournal.com]

My home isn't... maybe she'll come back?

Private

[favoritetraitor.livejournal.com]

Would that be possible?

Private

[alittlewild.livejournal.com]

For her to come back? I've seen people come and go. Anything is possible here.

Private

[favoritetraitor.livejournal.com]

That's true. I'm just torn as if that is what she would want... This is just one of the more difficult aspects of being here... who's next?

Private

[alittlewild.livejournal.com]

Anyone...anyone can go at any time. It isn't that different from my home.

Private

[favoritetraitor.livejournal.com]

Howso?

Private

[alittlewild.livejournal.com]

People die or come and go a lot in my line of work.

Are you alone in your apartment now that she's gone?

Private

[favoritetraitor.livejournal.com]

Oh, I see... and no, Saya is still here with me.

Private

[alittlewild.livejournal.com]

I'd say you get used to it, but you never do.

That's good that you still have someone with you. She's from your world right?

Private

[favoritetraitor.livejournal.com]

Yes, she is... I suppose I should be grateful that she's still with me at least. If she left...

Private

[alittlewild.livejournal.com]

Are you two close?

Private

[favoritetraitor.livejournal.com]

I suppose you could say something like that. She's a part of my family.

Private

[alittlewild.livejournal.com]

Family isn't always flesh and blood.

Private

[favoritetraitor.livejournal.com]

Yes, I completely agree. That's what makes this so difficult for me... to have found someone so unexpectantly, and yet to lose them so quickly.

Private

[alittlewild.livejournal.com]

I understand...Anthony was like that for me. It's hard to find people you grow to care about and then have them taken away unexpectedly.

Private

[favoritetraitor.livejournal.com]

Yes...
