pleeeease oh baby don't go....

[howsketchy]

I have, yes.

simple and clean is the way that you're making me feel tonight...

[recidivated]

Oh... good. I just wanted to make sure you knew she's back.

it's hard to let it go...

[howsketchy]

... How are you doing?

... man it occurs to me i haven't actually heard the song in forever

[recidivated]

I'm okay. It's just... strange timing, I guess.

i actually don't have the song, i only have hikari...

[howsketchy]

It's almost cruel.

...SAME HERE...

[recidivated]

I wish it didn't have to be this way.

/FACE IN HANDS

[howsketchy]

I didn't think he would leave.

why are we even surprised

[recidivated]

...

You don't think that means one of us is next, do you?

i don't know

[howsketchy]

I'm really not sure.

i love the disconnect between this and the actual thread

[recidivated]

[beat]

I'm being too pessimistic, aren't I? I'm sorry.

well it's us

[howsketchy]

It's okay.

But Xion, there really is no way for us to know how long we'll be here. It could be a week, a month, or maybe another two years. Who could tell? We might come back if we do. We might not.

Even though I was used to the people I know leaving, for the longest time I always thought that a select few never would. It was like, "Anyone can go, but this person will always be here with me." But then Gen-- a friend of mine left. And I realized that I was wrong, so I don't think that way anymore. I always knew I was wrong, probably, I just didn't want to believe it.

So I don't worry about people leaving anymore. I make the most of the time I have with them instead. It's time I wasn't supposed to have in the first place, so I appreciate it no matter how long it lasts.

[she takes a deep breath before she replies, thinking over her friend's words carefully as she tries to drive away those negative thoughts.]

I know. It happened to me too, with Hope. He did come back with his memories, so that was really lucky, but... I still realized the same thing. You don't really think about it until it actually happens, huh?

I talked with Ritsuka a little while ago too, about what would happen if we were ever allowed to go back home someday. He told me he probably wouldn't stay here... and I told him I was okay with that. I know it's not exactly the same as leaving all of a sudden, but... just the fact that we got to meet and call each other friends in the first place is enough for me.

go... us...

[recidivated]

... It still hurts, and it probably will for a while, but I know we'll get better.

better than the alternative

[howsketchy]

No matter what happens, I'll always be with you, Xion.

omg fuck you i'm actually tearing up

[recidivated]

That's right. We'll always be together.

going to this thread from the others is such a mood whiplash sobbing

[howsketchy]

And... Xion?

WE DO WHAT WE WANT

[recidivated]

Naminé?

/GANG SIGNS

[howsketchy]

I am very happy that we got to spend this time together.

that's our motto

[recidivated]

[oh right in her heart]

Me, too.

hakuna ma-- wait

[howsketchy]

You're my best friend.

...dammit now it's stuck in my head

[recidivated]

And you're one of mine.

[while she puts all of her "best friends" on the same level, Naminé does hold a special place for her. after all, they've been together from the start.

she's the only one who hasn't left.]

then my work here is done /ollies out

[howsketchy]

I know.

[ she laughs after saying that. ]

no screw you get back here

[recidivated]

Sometimes you just need to say things, even if they're obvious.

/GONE

[howsketchy]

I know that very well.

IF I'M HERE THEN YOU ARE TOO

[recidivated]

...Thank you.
