–omeone...

[a beat, a breath heavily drawn and shakily exhaled. sentences are punctuated with overlong breaks.]

Help me understand. Not one person I have spoken to recalls this mission...But she is still gone. [breath.] Physis is. Others, perhaps? I don't know. No one has any recollection...

Comments

[firstroar]

[he doesn't say a word; he can apologize later. apologize for being the burden Kaworu isn't even offended of him being. apologize for not accepting kindnesses easily. later. after Physis is found.

but this goes on for too long, covering too much ground with no sign of her. there's a sound as his jaw clenches tightly again, fighting against the reality of the situation.]

Not here...

[salvagedsoul]

[This only enforces Kaworu's suspicions of what could be going on.]

Is her ID still registered in the network?

[Kaworu already knows the answer, but perhaps if Blue has not looked yet, the sight of her name still there will comfort him.

With his eyes still averted, he squeezes Blue gently as he lays limp in his arms.]

Physis isn't the only one. There are others... half a dozen have done this, by now...
