Lambda's gone.

...I'd heard of it happening before, but this is the first time it's personally happened to me... What... [There's a hint of hesitation and sadness in his voice.] ...What exactly happens to someone who's sent away from here?

Sooooooooo... if he got "sent home", then Lambda must be a person, right?

[Action]

[ledbythewind]

... because I didn't want her to get hurt again.

[Action]

[drawnbythesword]

I think the feelings contained in doing that say much more to Sophie than just doing it.

But... it doesn't seem like Sophie forgiving you matters, because you refuse to forgive yourself.

[Action]

[drawnbythesword]

[Another nod.]

[Action]

[ledbythewind]

...

[Well, he can't really deny that, so instead he just looks away.]

Who knows? Sometimes I feel like I've been here before, sent home, then back again, but that's probably just my imagination.

[Action]

[dreamfandom.livejournal.com]

And I missed him... woulda been great to talk to someone from the time of those ruins.

True, but time here isn't really passing. You'll be able to help him when you get back.

[cluelessflower.livejournal.com]

... Gone?

[written]

[drawnbythesword]

But... What about right now, when he's been sent back, and I'm not there to help him?

[Action]

[drawnbythesword]

Well... I'm not sure if he would have told you anything, anyway.

[ voice ]

[drawnbythesword]

...Really? You believe you might have been here before? [That... does catch his attention.]

[Voice]

[de_bel_survivor]

...Your friend might return to nothing.

[Is there a point to sugarcoat it?]

[Action]

[drawnbythesword]

Why do you continue to beat yourself up over this?

[voice]

[drawnbythesword]

... Yeah.

[ voice ]

[twinbullet.livejournal.com]

Maybe. That's happened to other people before too, right? I'm not the only one. You'd probably be able to find someone else if you look around.

[Action]

[ledbythewind]

You know, Asbel... I may not have been able to do much, but I'm glad. I'm glad that I was able to protect Sophie, even if just for a moment.

[Subject change? Perhaps.]

[Action]

[dreamfandom.livejournal.com]

Huh? But why not?

[ voice; filtered ]

[mistyarc.livejournal.com]

So he is.

[Yeah. Moving on.]

And? What will you do now that he's no longer here?

[voice]

[cluelessflower.livejournal.com]

To where, Asbel?

[Action]

[drawnbythesword]

Lambda's not exactly willing to talk about himself.

[Voice]

[drawnbythesword]

That's what I feared...

[ voice ]

[drawnbythesword]

I see...

[Action]

[drawnbythesword]

...Ah, well... Protecting her doesn't have to end there, Richard.

[Damn you, Richard.]

[voice]

[drawnbythesword]

To home.

...His real home.
