[depressionnap]

you have been here longer. no insight?

fine.
did not appreciate the game i was coerced into
but mostly no harm done.

[everblooms]

all i can tell you is that i miss the people who have left. [ she's a liar in many definitions of the word, but she doesn't give false hope where it counts. ]

"mostly"? uh oh. you can't say something *that* and not elaborate!

[depressionnap]

understood.
noticed that barret is missing
hence the question.

yes i can.

[everblooms]

what a coincidence, vincent! that was also the basis behind my question.

however, now i can't help but notice you keep secrets...

[depressionnap]

i see.

most people keep secrets, aerith
yourself included

[everblooms]

my secrets aren't about my well-being, though.

[depressionnap]

i wasn't hurt if that's what you're wondering.

[everblooms]

and here i was worried i'd have to spell it out for you. not the quickest turtle at the race, are you?

[ he seems like the sort to find weird similies funny...? ]

[depressionnap]

something about slow and steady wins the race

[he do tho]

[everblooms]

now if only we could have told barret that...

[depressionnap]

if only.

[everblooms]

what do you think he would have said? maybe something like 'if you aren't running from the starting line, you might as well not be in the race!'??

[depressionnap]

"now i respect all life but turtles aren't made for running to begin with"
something like that

[everblooms]

aww vincent that was great! it's almost like he's right here with us.

i'm sure he's fine. i bet he's annoyed we stayed behind, so now he's waiting for us.

[depressionnap]

are you trying to reassure me?

[everblooms]

how about we call it an answer to your initial question?

[depressionnap]

i suppose that works
