three ♓ video;

[Feferi looks...tired. That's all you can really say about her, when she lets the video come on. She looks like she hasn't slept much, and she looks like she's gone somewhere to cry for a few minutes before calming down enough to speak.]

H-hi, everyone. I hope everyone's all right?

I - mm. I was going to ask whether or not anyone else's roommates weren't waking up, but...

Please be all right, Sayaka.

...what do you do when this place finally gets to you? I've been trying not to - to let it, but...I think I just really need some friends right now. I was up by the aquarium earlier and I think I'm gonna go back up there.

[She wipes at her eyes, and she thinks she's cut the feed, but:]

...it's never easy, this whole 'actually needing to step up and make decisions' princess stuff...

[He remained calm as he listened to her sorrow. Ever so often he gently stoked her shoulder and eventually moved to hold her close in a slight hug. It wasn't until she started crying that the sound of a soft 'hush' sounded from him. ]

Shush, young empress it will get better. I wish I could say that this is alright and that things will be okay, but that would be a lie. Clearly things are hectic and to be honest I do not know if things will get better. I can tell you that you can be strong and get through it. Do not say such things, you will handle it. It is the only thing you can do, Feferi.

it's okay, I'm even later ;;

[She keeps crying softly. It's hard to calm down.]

It's not all right. It hurts. It hurts so much. I just - I know I should be - be strong, but it hurts so much.

I know I have people I can turn to, but it's not the same as having that one person who I know is going to be there for me, same as I'm there for them.

[Slowly he pats her head as he tries to calm her.]

I will be one of those that you may turn to, but I can understand your trouble. There will be a time where you will be able to fill that void and it may be a long while, but I'm certain it will come.
