[It was a day like any other in House 28. Or so it seemed, at least. Asbel went to knock on Cheria's door, hoping to ask her if she wants to come with him somewhere, and it didn't involve training. He's definitely felt better about his relationship with Cheria recently than he has in the past, knowing he shouldn't try so hard or worry so much, and just be natural with her.

No answer comes from beyond Cheria's door. It's a bit weird. He didn't see her anywhere else in the house, and if she's stepped out, she usually leaves a note.]

...Cheria? Are you in there?

[again, no answer. So strange. Maybe she's asleep? Normally, he doesn't enter her room without her permission, but against his better judgment, decides to open the door and come in.]

Cheria, are you--

[What he finds... Is an empty room.]

[Voice]

[His voice sounds hoarse when he goes to deliver the message. He's not sure why it hurt so much more for her to go home than it did when Sophie or Hubert left. Maybe it was because things had changed so much between the two of them? Knowing things weren't going nearly as smoothly for them back home...]

To anyone that might have known her, Cheria Barnes has left Luceti.

[The recording ends there.]

[Richard hesitates outside the door to Asbel's room, unsure whether he should knock or not. Normally it was Cheria who handled the comforting (as she was the one in the house who was best at it, never mind the person who was closest to Asbel), but even with her gone now, Richard can't help but feel that it somehow isn't his place to be doing this. He knows that comforting isn't his strong suit in the least.

But Pascal isn't exactly the most tactful, and Isamu is out of the question, leaving it as Richard's responsibility whether he feels that he's suited for it or not.

And thus it is that he takes a deep breath and taps on the door, hoping that Asbel will at least want to talk.]

[It's just after midday that Pascal finally surfaces from her room after a particularly long night of doing anything but sleeping. As such she's completely missed Asbel's journal entry and is as cheery as she always is as she heads downstairs.]

Yoohoo, Asbel? Where aaare you?

I'm sorry to hear that.

Are you doing okay, kid?

It's different this time for you. May I ask why?

[Tear had only just started to get to know Cheria better, so there is a sense of sadness at this announcement. But this isn't about her, it's about Asbel.]

What do you plan to do?
