[This has been a hell of a month for departures and bad news, apparently. Zack hates to add to the misery, but it's gotta be done.]

...Aerith Gainsborough's gone home. She didn't leave anything, but... if you were friends, you know how she felt.

Good Spirits is self-serve tonight. Sorry, guys.

[And Zack will be at Good Spirits for most of the day after that, serving himself. Despite the melancholy of his announcement, his mood will be switching between quiet and downright celebratory all night long. Coping, who's coping?

He also has company: a strange-looking winged dog, standing guard quietly at his back the entire time he's there.]

Indeed...

Everyone else from your world is gone again, aren't they? ... I hadn't realized it was just the two of you, but maybe that was because I did see her most of the time.

[And aside from that, it hadn't been the same for years. Since they all had disappeared that other time. She still remembers.]

If there is anybody else, I don't know them.

[It's kind of a lonely existence, but at the same time, he's not really alone. It's just harder than it was before.]

[wise_maiden]

Then there likely isn't, at the present time. [Which is a good thing, but of course perspective has to come into it.]

... Well, if you need anything, you know how to get in touch.

[wingenvy]

Yeah, I'll remember that.

Thanks, Raine. It means a lot.
