[The feed begins early in the morning, just before dawn. It's impossible to say who's recording, because all it captures is the sunrise. And it's beautiful; the colors are vivid, the day is cold and it makes everything that much sharper.

The sun climbs over the horizon at last and there's a flurry of dust across the screen. The PCD turns off when the feed times out.]


[OFFLINE: a note to Raven]

Hey, Spatzi.

I need to speak to the Higher Ups. Hold it together while I'm gone, ja?

[It's not signed because, well, she'll know who it was from.

There's also a note to Alphonse, saying simply, 'Sorry. Watch after Negi'. The few herbs Johannes left that Horst recognizes are mixed into sachets for Killua, Kotarou, and Negi. It encourages dreamless sleep.

If your name is Tyki, you get a key to Horst's bar and a note: 'Help yourself.']

[Michiru's voice is calm, tired.]

He'll be back, Usagi.

How does that make it better?!

[She has perhaps never before been angry at Michiru. How can she act like it doesn't even matter when Horst is gone, and when he'll lose something when he comes back?]

[Michiru's voice is still oddly calm, unfazed.]

Losing things is a part of life, Usagi. I don't agree with his decision, with what he's done, but he is coming back. Are you saying you would rather he didn't?

Re: [Voice]

Of course I want him to come back! How can you say that?!

[You are making this so much worse Michiru.]

[There is silence, then a brief sigh.]

I'm sorry, Usagi-chan.

[And she's just going to end the feed for now.]

[Which only makes things exponentially worse, because she hates when people do that, when she has to see how much they can't talk to her or stand her.

All she can do is cry in her room.]
