*Gone. Gone. Gone. The names just kept piling up. The contact list kept thinning out. People Kaoru didn't know. People she did know. People, as much as she hated to admit it, that she liked and wanted to keep.

Why.

Why? This was stupid. It was...*

[text]

It might be our captors. It might be their enemies. Somebody is thinning out our numbers by sending people back where they came from. Probably because killing us doesn't work.

Whoever is behind this, know that your actions are as pointless as your very existence.

*Kaoru's sitting in her room, being... a little more depressed than lineface? It's hard to tell. She'll take visitors and calls if people want.*

[ Of course, Usagi is surprised too to see people slowly leaving one by one, but at the same time-- ]

... Isn't it a good thing for everyone to go home though..?

[text]

[breatheinthefog]

Is it really?

[text]

[selene]

Of course it is. Everyone really misses everything they have back home, right? ... I wouldn't want people to be stuck here and homesick instead.

[breatheinthefog]

You're the type of person who cares about people. So, naturally, you care about the ones left behind. Right?

[text]

[selene]

Huh? [ it's like the other girl is almost analyzing her.. ]

That's right. I care about everyone though, both the people who left and the ones left behind.

[breatheinthefog]

And their pain?

[text]

[selene]

... Their pain?

[text]

[breatheinthefog]

Humans care for each other. That's what everyone says, constantly. It's what they say is the reason that they'll live even if they know they'll eventually die. But if you care, it hurts to lose what you care about.

Would our captors do such a thing? What would be the point of bringing us here to simply null down the number later?

[text]

[breatheinthefog]

They seem very stupid.

[buildthatwall]

Are you going to be okay, Kaoru?

[Text]

[breatheinthefog]

...Always.

[Text]

[buildthatwall]

I have extra dinner. If you don't want to be alone.

[Text]

[breatheinthefog]

...that's right, I don't have food. All right.

[Text]

[buildthatwall]

You're on our floor, right? I can be right over.

[Text]

[breatheinthefog]

Right.

*Kaoru's door is unlocked. Her room is pretty bare, save for a stack of textbooks and a small stuffed bunny sitting on the shelf.*

[Zia carefully walks in, holding a foil covered plate] Hi, Kaoru. [She smiles shyly, handing her the plate]

[Action]

[breatheinthefog]

*Kaoru looks up and takes the plate, wordlessly putting it onto a scorched spot on the table -- somebody doesn't know what a trivet's for. She goes for the dishes and sets them out, getting the order right only because she's seen it in restaurants.*

[Action]

[buildthatwall]

... it's not much. I don't recognize a lot of what's here. But I hope it's okay.

[Action]

[breatheinthefog]

I'm okay with all of the food I've come across so far.

[text]

[battlefrontleader]

Great, I was taken by stupid people. Is there the chance that they were rescued?

[text]

[breatheinthefog]

Why? And why some but not others?

[Action]

[buildthatwall]

Oh. [She sits awkwardly near the table]

[Action]

[breatheinthefog]

Eat.

*Kaoru takes some food and looks it over before eating.* ...

[Action]

[buildthatwall]

Oh, it's okay! I already ate. I... just wanted to know you're okay.
