15th moon [voice]

[vibrafinal]

[As far as accidental voice messages go, this one is simple enough.

All that can be heard is the journal falling to the ground, and Cecil screaming in pain.

One cannot be expected to take the sudden and brutal loss of a somewhat telepathic father-son connection gracefully, after all.]

Have faith in your son. Did you not go through similar trials when you were young?

[Fusoya pauses only to administer quick healing.]

Do not let your worry for him destroy you.

[Action]

[paladinlost]

That is precisely why I worry. Yet it feels as though a part of me was destroyed, even before I worried.

[The healing helps with the superficial injuries, at least. But it cannot help the heart.]

[Action]

[manonthemoon]

Because your connection to him has been lost. It is not a pleasant experience.

[Action]

[paladinlost]

...Even being locked within myself never felt so painful.

[It mostly felt dark and cold, with a small bit of sibling connection thrown in. He has trouble even sensing that one amidst the pain, right now.]

[Action]

[manonthemoon]

It will fade. It may take time, but it will fade.

[Action]

[paladinlost]

...It should fade faster. Rosa and Selphie will need support, and the others...

[Action]

[manonthemoon]

The others will wish to comfort them as much as you do. You are not the only one who can help them.

[Action]

[paladinlost]

I want to help them.

[That would be the important part.]

[Action]

[manonthemoon]

It does not mean that you cannot do so.

[Action]

[paladinlost]

I'd need to be able to help myself, first.

[Action]

[manonthemoon]

Do you not believe that to be possible?

[Action]

[paladinlost]

...It will be, soon. But not quite yet.

[Action]

[manonthemoon]

Then give it time.

[Action]

[paladinlost]

I want to, but I doubt the Malnosso will let me.

[Action]

[manonthemoon]

Nevertheless, there is always something you can do.

[Action]

[paladinlost]

...Beat up every monster I can think of at the Battle Dome? It works for Kain.

[But he has a feeling it'll not be enough.]

[Action]

[manonthemoon]

And would you say that Kain is a man at peace?

[Action]

[paladinlost]

...Kain would not accept being at peace.

[Action]

[manonthemoon]

And you do not wish to emulate that, I would assume.

[Action]

[paladinlost]

Of course not. I like being at peace.

[Action]

[manonthemoon]

Then perhaps speaking with Rosa will be a better solution for you.

[Action]

[paladinlost]

...His disappearance broke her heart, too.
