[ that does get her to brighten a bit. ]

... Thank you!

I'll do my best, too. For Luke and Dahut!

[barriermaddened]

Well said.

[...you know, something she wants to ask, given what might have been Luke's last thoughts...]

Did you know Mr. Pearce well, Ms. Tatlin?

[Their profile have different homeworlds, she noticed, and it might just be a coincidence the names match, but still, if there's a chance, Sora must ask, really]

[ her expression sobers, and she shakes her head. ]

Not that well... but Luke was my roommate. When we got together to figure out what to do with three of us in a room, he said he'd let us have the place, and he'd stand guard at night instead.

He tried to act all cool, but...

[ there's a distant thought that sounds a lot like stupid, stupid...! ]

[barriermaddened]

...that's very noble of him, albeit foolish. So many nights without a good rest would take its toll on anyone.

[no wonder you died luke this is not how you take care of yourself]

[sexyasmieu]

He said he'd get his sleep during the day, and Margaret was trying to order a cot for him...

But if he'd just said something to begin with, then maybe we could have helped him more... and then he wouldn't have...

If you have ever thought you should have noticed something, try not to blame yourself. In the end you and everyone else did what they could, with what they knew and thought.

[Easy for Sora to say, experienced and a little numb as she is]

[sexyasmieu]

... Yeah. I know...

[ but there's still a sense of dissatisfaction. this keeps happening. it shouldn't be like this... ]

... I'll be okay. Thank you, Dean.

[ and she's going to take off and leave! there's an investigation to prepare for, after all. ]
