243 // audio + action
[ It's been a long day. An eternity or perhaps just a few minutes, seconds, heartbeats since he woke up to an empty bed and an even emptier apartment. It wasn't too hard to swallow back the panic at first, keep it at bay with positive thinking and the stubborn task of looking in every nook and cranny, of testing the line over and over and over again because sooner or later he would turn up. He'd pick up the call. He was probably just busy, or out in Sector 6 or taking a bath.

He'd show up, sooner or later.

Morning turns to day turns to evening and he's still alone. By now the panic is all-consuming, squeezing at his heart until he can't even breathe. Fingers shaking, Aidan flicks on the audio feed. One last ditch effort. ]

Has anyone- [ But he stops himself there. Sometimes you know the answer all too well. So well that you don't want it confirmed more than you've already done yourself. He draws a deep breath, steadies himself for another short minute. ]

If anyone wants t' know... I know he had a few friends here. Probably more than he knew. Helix is...

Helix is gone.

[ With that he cuts the feed, abruptly, tugs the headpiece off just as frantically before heading down to the beach. He can't think of any other place to go. ]

((ooc: Anyone is welcome to find him down at the beach! Audio responses will be icly delayed seeing as he's pretty damn heartbroken, but they will be responded to eventually. ))

[Euphie does the same thing when she's hurting. She retracts inward, not wanting to bother others with her troubles. But it only gets worse when she's alone.] I'm glad it's something. [And while her overwhelming feelings are not joyful, she does mean it. Being able to make other people feel better makes her feel better. It is repentance and the only way she knows to connect.]

	It's everything. [ Softly correcting. He doesn't want her to think that he's not grateful or that he doesn't need this right now because he does. He needs it so badly. Whoever he has left here, he needs to cling to them for a little until he can get his feet under him again because the universe just knocked him over and gravity is hard when your center is gone. ] (Reply to this) (Parent)
