[It was almost a relief, to hear about so many people going home recently, even as more were due to arrive.

It was too sad to mention, knowing that one of those people was Professor Nebilim. That she wasn't really returning to anything. Just to the completion of a sad tale of a boy who thought he should be able to do everything.

And now Nephry is lonely. She has been, off and on, for a while; she feels it especially strongly today. At first she tried cleaning the kitchen but now she's sitting there, chin against her hands, staring at the table. With almost half of the house away or out of commission...things are quiet.

In the silence, she turns to her journal for a while.]

What do you believe happens...when you die?

[Way to insensitive, Draco.]

That doesn't necessarily refer to second chances. If your world or your culture believes that, however. thank you for answering.

[Unfortunately someone's just accepted facts.]

Your world's a place that believes in second chances then? Like reincarnation?

Not exactly, no. [Getting into the finer points of the Replica Problem is not high on her list today. Not when it's Gelda who left.]

It just seems so cold to believe that everything ends.

Then don't believe it. Find another method to believe in. Maybe that's not how it works and we just don't know until we're already dead.
