[There's a silence, for a long moment -- before Rei finally works up the nerve to say something. She sounds tired.]

It's getting a lot harder to keep believing everything has a purpose in this place.

[There's a long rush of air as Rei exhales.]

It's almost as if the Animus don't want us here -- but if that's true, then why have I been here for over a year? Why have some people been here longer? What makes some of us different?

-- if anyone's got any ideas, I'd love to hear them.

[The only people Rei would need to tell, about Haruka vanishing, would be the senshi themselves. And the senshi, being the senshi, already know. So why repeat something painful?

But all the same, she seems to want to say more -- before she ends the feed.]

No, he asked whether or not it was possible to find intelligent people in Adstringendum.

D'aww, he made a joke. Did you give him a gold star?

voice; private

[flameandpassion]

I feed him, that's all the gold stars he needs.

[But he seemed pretty pleased that he made her laugh.]

That's more than I do for my boyfriend. But then again, mine still has his grace intact.

[Oh, the implications.]

[flameandpassion]

I hadn't noticed.

[A pause.]

It really sucks eating alone.

[flameandpassion]

... you can come eat with us, but dinner with Castiel is an exhausting experience.

[Why are we having this? Where did you find it? How is it made? Did you have this in your world? Why are you adding salt to fish? What does this do? How do you determine when it's done? Why are you eating it raw? Is that not dangerous?

Etc. Etc. Etc.]

Please. Dinner back home was nothing but the boys shouting, fighting, using super powers, throwing grenades, and sometimes the Titans would attack. A little noise would be...nice.

[flameandpassion]

Sounds like a lot of fun to me.

[She has no actual siblings, after all, and dinner is usually just her, Yuuichirou, and her grandfather.]

[hexdontlie.livejournal.com]

In retrospect? It really was.

[She chuckles.]

If the team knew I actually missed their ugly faces, I'd never hear the end of it.

voice; private

[flameandpassion]

It's not a bad thing, to miss people.

Minako, Ami, and Makoto haven't been here in a long time. And I haven't seen Yuuichirou or my grandfather in over a year.
