[Zack is someone she's known her entire time in Adstringendum - both times. Someone close to her.]



[It just can't be.]

His PCD is no longer active. Even if he returns in a week, as you did, he will not remember, as you did not. I am sorry, Usagi.

[Technically, he would remember Sephiroth. But Sephiroth is no longer quite the same man who first arrived in Adstringendum.]

[Sorry, Seph, but you get video, as per usual. But at least he's going to cut out the smart ass Just this once.]

A friend?

[There's only one thing she can really offer.]

[Why can you never let him be antisocial in peace? Riku is one of the few people Seph will actually allow video, though. He is working on something, one of the stone pillars at the back of his house. Sephiroth brushes stone chips from a just-finished 'Z'. It also says 'Teial' and 'Usagi'.

A tree isn't lasting enough for him, apparently.]

It's complicated. Zack came here from a time later than I. I believe that I am eventually going to do something to alienate him. But in the time and place that I came from.... He was my friend.

I would not be good company.

[He's well aware that Usagi will be feeling the loss, too. He's also well aware that he is horrible at emotional support.]

[Because if he did that you'd probably fall so deeply back into your old ways not even he could get you back out.]

I'm sorry.

[He doesn't know what else to say. No matter how many times you experience loss, it always hurts.]

I know.

[It's not guaranteed. Entirely.]

As am I. I simply hope that whatever he is returning to on Gaia is kinder to him than being here. [Yeah, he has no idea. Which is sort of tragic.]

[argentimperator.livejournal.com]

As will I.

I wonder what it feels like. To get to go home.

[He misses it. So much more than he ever thought he would.]

[ff_red_turk]

He's where he should be.

[Why no, he is not pretending he doesn't like this either, why do you ask?]

[text]

[argentimperator.livejournal.com]

I don't know.

[Usagi, he's doing well when he is managing to be in touch with the emotions he is currently feeling, hypothetical future ones are a bit much for him.]

Who is to say it feels like anything? If you forget ever being here, then isn't it as if you never left?

[Sephiroth doesn't miss his world. He'd had very little left to hold onto there, and he's gained more than he ever really thought was possible here.]

[argentimperator.livejournal.com]

True, yet unsatisfying. Would you say the same were I to disappear?

[text]

[argentimperator.livejournal.com]

Very well.

[She's just not sure what else to say, what else to do, for someone who prefers grieving alone. She leaves the PCD on in case he says more himself, as she climbs into her bed and sits atop the covers, knees drawn up towards her chest to have a few moments of quiet thought herself.]

[ff_red_turk]

Yes.

[There is no hesitation in Vincent's answer. Because he has hope that one day, the Lifestream will manage to cleanse the Jenova taint from what remains of you in there, and you will find peace.

That, however, has nothing to do with how he would feel if you were to disappear from here, Seph.]

((OOC : These two need to come together and speak about Lucrezia or something.))

Noted.

[He almost didn't respond with anything, but it seemed appropriate to at least acknowledge it. Especially after what Zack had said of Sephiroth. There wasn't any need to say anything more.]

I am sorry for your loss, Sephiroth-san.
