[He'd considered doing video or voice when he'd made the decision to make this post, but no. He wasn't sure if he could control his facial expressions or voice while he did.]

Tsukiyama Shuu is gone, in case anyone was looking for him. He's off the contact list, so I assume he's gone home.

Just in case anyone wanted to know.

This place isn't very fair, is it?

[He hadn't meant to put that last part, but he'd hit 'post' before he could take it back.]

[If anyone's near the beach in Olivine, Micchy is there, looking out at the sea and skipping rocks into it. He's got a Vulpix who's sitting and sunning herself and an Absol who doesn't seem to like this sun as much, but otherwise he's on his own.]

This sucks. He... was helping me a lot. Now I don't really know what to do.

[He'd been a somewhat stable 'adult' presence. Now... it just hurt.]

I thought I was done with losing people.

Well, at least he went back home, right?

[grapeeater]

I guess so. But I wanted him to stay.

... Maybe that's selfish, I don't know.

It's not selfish. Our worlds are made up of the people we know.

Guess I have a kind of small world, then.

That's fine, as long as you're not blocking out chances to grow it.

...if it helps any I had to learn that the hard way before I came here.

... Dunno.

And... me too. I guess. I made it smaller. Here's really the only place where I have people I can talk to.

But even if you lost someone, you're not the same person you were when you met them, right? Even if it's a really small group?

I guess. It's just... at home, I don't have anyone. Here... it's only a few people. And even if I'm different, each person has a different sort of role that they can fill. ... So when one's gone, it's... hard.

I hear you man. I wish I could say something that would make it easier. Just that I know you can get through it with time

How much time? I'm tired of this. It's not like I want to go home, but I'm still really tired of this.

And it makes me feel like it's my fault even if it's not.

I wish I knew man. But I CAN tell you it's not your fault at all, got it?

This one isn't, at least.
