[PRIVATE TO SELF//SLIGHTLY HACKABLE]

I can't believe Doumeki's gone...

I mean...people have left before...but Doumeki was my friend. I worked for him, he let me stay with him...he meant a lot to everybody.

I dunno what's gonna happen now. Everybody is taking it hard...he's been here a while...

I should do something. Something to try and make everybody feel a little better. I just need to think of something...

...Oh my god, he left me the flower shop.

I have a shop to run now. How...How am I supposed to do that? I've only ever worked for somebody else in the retail business!! This is completely different from paranormal investigating!

I have a lot to think about...

...Here's to you, Doumeki. I'll do the best I can. Not just with the shop either, but with everybody in the apartment.

[END PRIVATE]

So....uh...I own a flower shop now!

Anybody wanna give me a hand with it? I've never run a shop before, and I promised Doumeki I'd do a good job...so I really don't know what to do yet.

Orion, you'll help me...right? I mean, we'll still do the paranormal investigating, because that's awesome and the best job in the world, but...well, having some extra money coming in couldn't hurt.

...though, I don't think Doumeki ever actually paid me...ah well, that's not the point.

You guys'll help me, and it'll be great! Any takers?

[ that's what he lives for. so to speak. ]

There is one little thing I don't quite get...

[ be warned. your little private self message is being hacked by one genius Composer. ]

What?

[Oh god, Joshua, you awful evil Composer.]

Why talk to someone that isn't here? Are you hoping by some chance that he'll hear you? Or is it to comfort yourself?

...

You weren't supposed to read that...

You should learn to encrypt it better. Not that it matters.

[ he can read your miiiiiind~ ]

...not cool.

...I'm trying to cope with a friend leaving, ok?

It's not like he can't come back.

I dunno...he seemed pretty sure, and even if he does, what are the chances he'll remember?

About the same as him coming back.

Perhaps I should be sympathetic. My partner did leave awhile ago.~

...I'm sorry. It really, really sucks when people leave, and they might not come back or if they do they might not remember.

Is your partner from your home universe?

But what's really important? Their memories or the essence of who they are?

[ oh Hanna. going into dangerous territory again. ]

As for Neku. Yes, he is from home. That doesn't mean I will get to see him when I return though.~

Well...I guess you can always make new memories. I know that Orion forgot his whole life, and we're making new memories together, so...

...and you might...

So there's no need to worry about memory loss, hmm?

[ a giggle. ]

We won't. That's just how it works.

I guess not...It'll be hard, but new memories can be just as good as, if not better than, old ones.

...Your world must be really strange.

Exactly! That's a better way to look at it, hmm?

[ another giggle. oh you so funny. ]

No stranger than yours to me. Though isn't it a general principle that those that aren't technically apart of the living worlds shouldn't interfere with it?

Well, that's how I look at it with me and Orion...I shouldn't treat other people differently.

...How DOES being city dead work when people go home, anyway...

I assume that if they were alive before coming here, they'll be alive again. If they were already dead... Well. I don't think these deities would be so generous to put them back alive.

...this place is unfair. Giving people a taste of a second chance, only to take it away from them...

But do they even notice it? Hard to miss something when you don't exist.

...They would know. They'd notice.

And they'd be able to do nothing...and it's wrong.

Perhaps, but then you have to think of it this way. Can something that's dead and meant to be so really be called back? Should it?

...It's been known to happen.

That really doesn't answer the question of "should it?" now, hmm? There could be consequences for that.

Some things have to happen for a reason. Should can't come into play in that case.

...My best friend in the whole world is dead. He's been dead for 10 years, and if he hadn't died, I probably wouldn't have met him.

I think you're missing my point.

And ten years? That's not really that long.
