Someone's been reminded of how much she misses people dear to her.

[alterdreveries]

 Why... Why did you make me remember? They say ignorance is bliss right? Why can't I live in that bliss?

Kimishima.... It's not possible. Just because Halloween is meant to be about the dead coming for the night.... It doesn't mean he'll come back.

He... can't come back.....

And where is Kazu-kun and Ryuhou! Why can't I find them? Why... Why did they...

[There's the tears that she's been fighting.]

Where are they? Where have they disappeared. It's not fair! Why did they come to Somarium only to leave shortly later? And Scheris too! She wasn't even there for that long, either.

It's unfortunate.

Nothing lasts forever.

[Hello random person. Kanami took a moment before she could really answer, wiping away her tears.]

But... Kazu-kun.... He has to be okay!

[misguidedvengeance]

[ He gives a small, bitter smile. ]

You have my condolences.

[ That's all he can give, at the present moment. Losing someone isn't new to him. ]

[alterdreveries]

[She's not exactly sure what to say to that.]

Do you think... it's possible for somebody to walk the earth for a day?

[misguidedvengeance]

[ He only shakes his head. ]

The world is too vast, unfortunately.

[ In the same way it's too small--it's crammed. ]

[alterdreveries]

Is that so...

Somebody told me on Halloween, those spirits who passed on walk the earth once more.

[misguidedvengeance]

[ Ah. Children's trope. ]

It's a possibility.

[alterdreveries]

I wonder if it's true...

[misguidedvengeance]

[ He won't pop her balloon, that's for sure. ]

Perhaps--in passing.

They're always watching. They'll exist as long as you remember them.

[alterdreveries]

[Her world doesn't have anything like Halloween. She was simply told about it from the others in Somarium. She was silent for a moment and nodded.]

I suppose. I hope that he's okay....

[misguidedvengeance]

[ And he isn't exactly big on Halloween. ]

Hmm.

[ryuhou]

... [ He glances regrettably to the ground.[

You have my apologies, Kanami. The choice was not my own.

[alterdreveries]

[Kanami isn't sure what to do yet. She really didn't think that Ryuhou would show up again. Now she's trying to wipe away her tears.]

It's... not fair...

[ryuhou]

... [ He doesn't disagree. ]

Asking you to fend for yourself in such a place is a great burden to bear.

[alterdreveries]

I... I wanted you and Kazu-kun to be there with me. Is that selfish?
