18th moon [voice]

Rosa Farrell has left Luceti.

[It comes abruptly, harshly, flatly. Cecil does not sound in terrible pain as he did the last time he had to make such an announcement. In fact, he sounds very much as though he's forgotten how to inflect.]

...She's left roses and notes for everyone she's met here. Please come pick them up when you have the time.

[That's all he has the energy to say.]

Thank you.

[And Cecil goes back to waiting by the window, lost in thought the whole time.]

[Kain returns soon enough, going to find Cecil once he's there.]

[For a man whose wife has just disappeared, Cecil looks surprisingly calm. But the way the windowsill cracks beneath his fingers shows that it's a deliberate front.]

[Kain approaches slowly and cautiously, not wanting to get in the man's personal space... even if Cecil had just said he wanted him there. He takes a moment to shuffle through the cards he has, getting the one with the phrase "I'm sorry" ready... but then he almost wonders if it'll even be enough...]

[For a long time, it's as if Cecil is not aware of Kain's presence. Almost.]

...Their timing is cruel. Why take Rosa away when they've finally returned Ceodore to us?

[Kain is patient at last, waiting until Cecil speaks to do anything else.]

They undoubtedly wish to monitor how you'll react... I'm sorry. They are terrible, at times like this...

I hate them for it.

[He clenches a fist.]

Many would say that I should not, but I cannot help it.

You have every right to hate them. I still hate them, and forever will.

No one would dare to try and take that right away from you. How lucky.

I don't know that I would call it lucky, but... it IS all we seem to have.

Even that could change, with the right Shift.

Let's hope that doesn't happen.

Did it not? Not long after I arrived...

Ah, I suppose it has...

Though that was even worse than merely losing our anger, truly.

It's among the worst things they can do to us.

How can we even know if they'll ever attempt it again?

A good question. They never give warning of what's to come.

And we can never be certain they'll not find a way to make experiments last forever.

I've long dreaded that such a day might come.

Hopefully that is not one of their goals.

Who can say for sure what their true goals are?

Not me, and I'm not certain I care to know.

I'd mostly want to know in order to stop any of it from happening.

That would be good, if it truly helped.
