[The feed is silent for a moment except for someone on the other end taking some breaths. This kind of thing is hard for her after all since she has to be the one who give out the bad news.]

Not many of you know me but my name is Mira. I'm the mother of two boys who were here before named Vanitas and Sora. You may have met them, even known them by working alongside them or run into them on the street. If you have been trying to reach them and have gotten no answer, then I'm afraid to say they're no longer on this star.

[A pause as there's a hitch of breath on her end followed by a soft mew.]

Seems to be a lot of people vanishing as of late. It feels more empty don't you think?

[There's a rustling from her side and the meowing gets a little louder. The last thing anyone hears before it clicks off is a quiet confession:

"I'm all alone now."]

[noblegarnet]

They were close, weren't they?

[I'm sorry for your loss always sounds so hollow. It never helped him when he was grieving, and he really can't see the point in saying it for someone else; all it does is serve to make the speaker feel a little less bad. It's an easy way out of the conversation.

It means he has to take a little longer than usual to compose his message, but he'd rather say something that has meaning.]

I guess all we can do is try to connect with the people who are here. We've probably nearly all lost someone at this point.

[inlikethebrume]

Aye, they were very close.

[Yeah, she knew how close they were.]

It's gotten quiet here. It feels unnerving.

[noblegarnet]

[Ferran only ever saw them interact through the network, himself—but in a way, if they were that important to each other, it's sort of nice they were able to go home together.

... he knows personally how that thought is absolutely no comfort to those most affected by their departure.]

I'm decent enough at making noise, if you're interested in company.

[It's the least he can offer, even if it's not much.]

If not, that's fine too. But I definitely understand how a quiet house can be stifling... even if it's still the most appealing place to be.

[Who's got healthy coping mechanisms?? He sure didn't for a while... and even now it's questionable.]

[inlikethebrume]

Would I be correct that you would come from a place where it was noisy and you prefer quiet?

[Oh she heard about the company. She's just not sure if she wants any or not.]

[noblegarnet]

Not at all. I've lived in a quiet house most of my life, so I usually spent whatever time I could out of it.

[It's a fair enough assumption, though; his preferences have gotten considerably more complicated over the last year and a half. He doesn't blame her for not answering his offer, either; despite his Fae instincts, he's capable of patience.]

But there was a time where the idea of being out with people was exhausting. Well, I say "was," but sometimes I feel that way now, too.
