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.]

[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?

[fourthsaken]

... Oh. Right.

[disintegral]

Exactly.

[fourthsaken]

How selfish is it that I still wish you'd stay?

[disintegral]

Just the right amount, I think.

[fourthsaken]

Good. I can accept that.

[disintegral]

...

[fourthsaken]

... What? I know I'm being selfish every time I get pissed people leave.
