Appointments [Luceti]
For any meetings with Jade that go outside of given posts and logs! Please specify the date and format (Action/Video/Voice/etc).
[Action August 9th?]
I'm afraid that's not the case. He's now... well, he's out of our reach. [He takes a small pause before speaking frankly.]
Anise, Luke's room is currently empty. He's not in this world anymore; he's returned home.
[Action August 9th?]
[Oh.]
[That wasn't fair. This wasn't fair! This world was supposed to be the place where they were finally happy; it was where Ion was still alive, and all her friends were too. And that place wasn't complete without Luke!]
[But, there's a tiny part of Anise that's going to cling to a small hope.]
But, he'll be back, right?
[People showed up again after leaving all the time. At least, that's what she'd been told. Gloomietta showed up again after she left, why couldn't Luke, too?]
[Action August 9th?]
Anise. It may be a possibility, but it is far from a certainty. [It isn't fair. It really isn't. Then, so much of Luke's life was unfair. It was unfair that in the end, he had to sacrifice himself. And now, it was unfair that he had been returned to that fate.]
There are many who return home without ever returning, at least not yet.
[Action August 9th?]
[Jade's not changing his expression and it's really starting to worry her. She'd kind of hoped that maybe the Colonel had come from a point in the future where they'd managed to find Luke. But if he wasn't even bother to joke around, it had to be really serious.]
What if they don't have somewhere to go back to? They'll return then, right?
[Action August 9th?]
You should know as well as I do that the world is not so kind or fair. Especially not this one. [He takes one hand out of his pocket to push at his glasses softly.] Besides that, it would be more obvious if that were the case. The likes of Sync and Gelda Nebilim would still be here in this world, for instance.
[He goes on, wit a calming tone in his voice. He's not frustrated or exasperated.]
I know that I'm asking something difficult of you, Anise. But this will be healthier for you in the long run. You have to accept the truth of what's happened, or at least recognize it as a possibility. Luke is gone. Gone to whatever fate he experienced in the end of Eldrant.
