The only way to know if she has disappeared for sure is to ask Acumen. Oh, but that...
She shuts her eyes tightly, her voice becoming very shaky when she speaks again.]
She has to be here. She just has to. I won't believe that she is gone. [And she shifts, the view of her disappearing somewhat, but the sounds of her sniffling can be heard.]
