Goodbyes are for suckers [IC]

[disintegral]

[Someone is sitting on her bed, a couple of packed bags next to her, staring at a small piece of paper in her hands. That's all, really. But she's actually being still and silent for once, so clearly something is wrong.]

Comments

[disintegral]

Exactly.

[fourthsaken]

... I'm really glad I got to meet you.

[disintegral]

Wouldn't trade that for the world.

[fourthsaken]

Me neither.

[disintegral]

...so!

Locket, letter, address. Anything else I need to take with?

[fourthsaken]

Pictures? You've got photos of us, right?

[disintegral]

Packed with everything else that's mine.

[fourthsaken]

... That's all I can think of.

[disintegral]

Then... I guess I'm all set to go.

[fourthsaken]

... Yeah. You better hurry before they change their mind.

[disintegral]

Wanna walk me out, or...?

[fourthsaken]

Of course.

[we're holding hands again, okay?]

[disintegral]

[okay]

[fourthsaken]

[is unusually quiet as they head for the barrier]

[disintegral]

[that's cool. we can do quiet]

[fourthsaken]

[mumbles something under her breath]

[disintegral]

Hmm?

[fourthsaken]

Uh... Never mind?

[disintegral]

Come on. If you've got something to say, now's really the time to say it.

[fourthsaken]

I... I'm sorry I wasn't a better friend. That we ran out of time. I should've... I didn't think you'd leave.

[disintegral]

Don't do that. You're an amazing friend.

[fourthsaken]

... I could be better.

[disintegral]

You're saying I couldn't?

[fourthsaken]

You're amazing, Alani. I've never had a friend like you.

[disintegral]

And you think I don't feel the same way about you?
