[Video//Action | early morning, before activities]
[The video opens to a pale hand groping pitifully at the floor, where the communicator is filming. She must have knocked it when she went fishing for it. With blue-tinged fingernails, the hand finally nabs the comm and drags it upwards, bypassing a plate of what looks like yesterday's dinner (fried rice with cabbage and root vegetables). The food is untouched.]

[Saya's face comes into view. She's trembling, eyes dull and barely open, skin so pale it's nearly translucent.]


...Zero? [Her voice is as small and shaky and devoid of vitality as the rest of her.] And Yuuki, and Aidan... Tear? Laura? I need to... see you. Please?

[Too late to wish for her bed, or a last trip to the sea. Saya won't make it back, if they even are going back. One last image of the people she cares most about will be the best she can do for the last things she'll ever see.]

***
((OOC: Saya's final post in Marina. She'll be falling into hibernation after this and dropped from the game. Thanks to everyone who played with her, it's been a great few years!))

Saya..? [ Oh god. Oh god oh god oh god this is so bad and such a stark contrast to how she was last time he saw her. The shock is strong enough to force a lump into his throat that he can't quite swallow down. ]

Where are you?

[Her eyes look almost drugged, dilated and wavering as she glances around, as if unsure where she is. Her mind is shutting down along with her body.] ...In bed?

Aidan... I want to go home. [She knows, vaguely, instinctively, that he can't make that happen, but it's one of the few things she can hold in her awareness.]

[ Well, that didn't help much. Good thing there aren't that many places to check... ]

I know... [ Swallows. ] I'll be right there, alright? Just give me a minute.

Mmm. [That drawn out hum could be agreement, or it could be anything. She's not entirely all there. But fortunately the door's open so she won't be difficult to find.]

[She'll remain resting in the bottom bunk, trapped there by weakness. Not where she wanted to spend thirty years, but there's little choice now.]

[ He's not sure how long it took before he finally found her. Could be minutes, could be more but when he does his heart is pounding so hard he almost expects it to crack a rib, mouth tasting vaguely of blood from the frantic run. Drawing a deep breath, Aidan steadies himself before crossing the floor to kneel by her bedside. ]

Saya... [ Softly. He knew this day was coming. ]

[ She had not called for Hei but there was no need for it as he shifts, the dim light from the overhead lamp falling across his face as he turned to watch Saya make her last farewells. He waited, giving her time, giving her space. He held his tongue knowing that she would soon fade and then there would be no more excuses, no more time for hesitation.

Except there was. The bracelet on his ankle was a trap. There would be no bright flash of light to end her life; his promise made moot. She would be disappointed.

But he held his tongue, allowing her the peace she needed, the dream of death that he had promised. She may hate him, later, but he would live. And once all calls were done, Hei stood, gently removing the device from her near nerveless fingers and setting it to the side. ]


Saya... You should sleep. [ he smoothed her hair, brushed her face. A memory to remember. There would be no more after this. ]

[Saya's fingers curl around the device just as he takes it, as if hoping futilely for more time. In its place, she reaches for Hei's hand. Her skin is frigid and clammy, her pulse and breathing unnaturally slow, all vitality drained away in preparation for three decades' rest.]

[She's too tired even to express what she would have wanted to say, her last days stolen from her by the bracelet on her ankle.]


Don't go.

[ he held still before slowly sinking to his knees, pressed to the side of the austere bunk. ]

I'm here.

[ until she slept her final sleep, he would stay. That was one promise he could keep. ]

[She hadn't really thought he would leave, it was just something that floated through her mind. She can't quite catch all those wisps of thoughts, so the ones she can can indiscriminately spoken.]

Will you remember me? [Like that one.]

[ he nodded, brushing a thumb across her knuckle, reassuringly ] I'm not one to forget. [ of course, always, how long can forever be? ]

We'll be right there.

[At first Saya only nods, having too little energy to attempt much else. A second later and she's trying to say more, mouth forming the silent words she has no breath to speak.]

[Hurry.]

[And hurry he does. Alone. He knows Yuuki will get there when she can but for now...it's just him.]

I'm here...[Softly. Gently. He approaches her side.]

Zero... [Saya's mouth twitches at the corners, as if trying to smile even as her eyes are wet. She hasn't the strength to smile or cry properly.]

[A slow, shaky inhale gives her barely enough breath to go on.]
There are things I want to... [This time she's without words for a far more common reason; she has no idea what to say, or how to say it. How to thank someone for being there when it was needed even when Saya made it nearly impossible? How to pay them back for the weeks of precious life they gave you that you would have thrown carelessly away?]

If it wasn't for you, I would have more regrets.

[Zero grasps her hand, she looks so tiny and helpless in that bed and it brings back a lot of painful memories. Losing someone is never easy. No matter how prepared you are for it.]

I'm just glad I made it back here in time to say goodbye.

[He gives her hand a gentle squeeze.]

You helped me too, you know.

[She can't answer right at first.

It's time, Saya is calling for her friends, the people Tear knows are important to the other girl-- not Hei, but of course he has to already be right there with her-- and she's been included amongst them.

The revelation and sickening dread of the moment is certainly responsible for her sudden inability to breathe properly, but the small, yet surprisingly strong feeling of honor has a hand in it too. Another pause is spared for Euphie before she decides a few moments will be fine, the princess will be watched by another]


...Saya, I'm-- I'll be there. [It's only a tiny voice she's able to find eventually. Easy to think she's keeping quiet out of consideration for Saya's condition, but really, she can't manage more at this time]

[Saya might, if still possessing all her faculties, might have thought twice about summoning Tear. They've only recently and awkwardly gotten along, after all. But it's instinct that has her now, the last push of fading existence before her sleep, and her feelings demanded that she tell Tear, her sometimes-rival and sometimes-friend, goodbye.]

[Saya appears to fall into a dozing rest on the video, but manages a meager nod to show that she's still there. It's just that keeping her eyes open is exceedingly difficult.]

[She wants to save her voice for when they meet.]

[It's fortunate she had spoken to Hei just the day before. No need to waste time searching, nor waste Saya's energy on unnecessary talking.

After a few minutes, her knuckles rap lightly on the door to give a warning before she lets herself into the room. She doesn't immediately see Hei--she senses that he's close though, possibly atop a bunk she can't see in from her height, or elseways nearby-- but she's not exactly looking for him either. There's only one person who matters most in these last few moments, and she's in the low bed Tear kneels next to]


...I'm here. [Barely above a whisper. It's... strange; she's seen death in many ways, but this is the first time she's been at, what technically amounts to, someone's deathbed]

I know. [It's not entirely clear, and Saya doesn't have the energy to work her words in the way they deserve, but what she means is knew. She knew Tear would come. Whatever distance still was between them, and now it would remain forever, that was one thing she didn't doubt.]

Don't be sad.

[Barely perceptively, her eyes struggle a bit between narrowing and staying open, in that way when someone's trying not to shut their eyes and cry, but she's not even fully aware of it. She's too busy trying to force her mouth into a small smile, but it's weak at best and gone in a heartbeat]

Before, didn't I say that someone has to be? You don't want him... and them... your important people, to be sad and suffer. You want the people that mean something to you to be happy. [It's one of the biggest regrets those who leave first tend to have, and she doubts Saya's much different. Her smile surfaces again for its last breath, made up of almost entirely helpless resignation]

It might as well be someone you don't like then.

[She may have spent most of her time trying to keep an eye on Euphie, but there was no way Laura would ignore this call. Saya sounds tired and weak. It is not the kind of tiredness that she feels will be fixed with a night's rest. Something is wrong.]

Saya. Your location.

[Had she forgotten to tell Laura about this impending event? Well... if she doesn't have time, Hei will explain it.]

In a bedroom... [She glances around, unable to explain more.] The door is open.

[Her voice is pitifully weak, devoid of energy.] There's no time...

[Laura's hands clench at the tone. Something is very wrong here and she has to get to Saya as fast as she can. She cannot wait.]

I will be there. [Within minutes if possible. Saya sounds as if...as if she might be... But that does not make any sense. She pushes open the door and stands there.]

[Saya waits in the bottom bunk of a faceless room, grappling with the words she'll use to explain what's happening to her. Maybe it would have been kinder to simply cease to be here, but Saya's selfish need for this won't be denied.]

[Laura is strong. It will be... fine.]

[Laura arrives and can smell even before entering the room that something is wrong. There is no death or illness, but something is wrong. What is it? She enters the room and looks immediately for the bed that Saya is in. She is not moving. Why is she still like that? She moves closer and leans into the bed to see her more clearly.]

Saya. Something has been done to you.
