[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!))

['Didn't want to'? Was it because she was afraid, not only of liking people she would always lose, but that if they got close, she just might break down the decision Saya built up over years and years? It would be scary, if that's all she's held onto.

But now's not the time to wonder at reasons, they'll be plenty of opportunity to think and regret later. Just like it's not the time to push her argument, not when there's nothing to be done]

It's... okay. I've said my side, and you still chose your own path. That's your right, your will. [She can't begrudge her that. Not everyone's so strong. Not everyone can be held to the same finish point]

I might not like it but... if this is what you've decided, then I'll trust you've thought it through.

	[She smiles then, the act seeming to take far less effort than her frown.] Thank you. [Another moment to catch her breath, and try and gather what of her wits she has remaining.] Then I will trust you to forgive him when you can. [There is no question who she means. Her countenance clouds over once again.] He will need you. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[Her face darkens so quickly, it's as if they traded moods. She had already intended to carry out that role, accepted it as a matter of course, she didn't need Saya to say it-- but now that she has, Tear feels the expectation keenly. It's a little heavier now.

Averting her eyes, she takes a second before returning, expression a shadow of what it was]

...I know. And I'll be at his side-- as his friend.

[Saya's exhale might have been a sigh, had she the energy. But no, there's no more time for regrets, or wishes. What Tear has offered is a gift, and Saya won't ask more of her.]

[That's enough talk of Hei. She hasn't time to rewrite that story. A shape and an echo will have to be enough.]

I'm glad we had... time. [Time to speak as friends, more or less. Time to let things settle.]

...So am I. Really.

[Her last word sticks a bit, but she gets it out all the same, because the emphasis is important. It's true. The wishing for more time, that came before and will come again later-- right now, she is exceedingly grateful for what she's managed to get, as her hand haltingly goes over Saya's pale one, and gives a quick squeeze.

It's not a point of focus now, but later she'll remember too clearly how chill the girl's skin was]

	[Saya's fingers twitch, the subtle movement all her leaden limbs can manage. But the gesture is there, enough that Tear will feel the intent behind it.] ...Bye, Tear. [Saya smiles thinly, but gratefully.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Good-bye.

[It comes out quietly but with a surprising sense of finality, and she understands that it has to be that way. She has to shut that door, rather than hang on, to be able to eventually move past. Otherwise...

It's this that prompts her to let go and get up and leave without a second look. She'd have preferred to stay until the last moment, but... that's not her place]
