[ because it's difficult for Tear to actually express her emotions properly, she's going to use text instead of a video or audio recording. It at least, will serve as mask for her as she gathers herself back up. ]

It seems my brother, Van has disappeared, leaving nothing behind-- Luke as well.

I have not seen...Natalia either.

[ there's a long pause in text ]

I'll be in the meadows if anyone needs me. [ part of the way she copes. losing comrades and a brother. ] It is truly unfortunate, that were unable to say our proper goodbyes.

[ Tear had collected a small handful of flowers that were sitting on her lap. Her eyes seemed distant for a moment, before turning her head when she heard a voice. She had felt the presence before the sound of someone clearing their throats.

She turned to greet him with a brief nod of her head before answering his question, as she shifts her position. ]

Hello, Xehanort.

[ There's little emotions displayed in her words, but rather her eyes. ]

[ There was no smile from her, but she attempted to at least be a bit civil with someone she had met. ]

That is fine. What would you like to speak to me about?

[He hands her the flowers he has, to be added to her bundle, to be used or discarded as she saw fit.]

To lose one is sadness, I can only assume. For that I am sorry.
So long as you hold them in your memory, however, they will never be apart from you.

[ She accepts them, since she'll be handing them to the graves of those she has cherished. ]

Yes, I suppose it is.

[ Her tone seems rather empty, but she understands what he means. There's no point in dwelling on what has happened. There's only time to move on. ]

I can only hope that they are in a much better place, than our destroyed worlds.

[ A wishful thought but their happiness is important to her. ]

Anywhere is better than here, I suppose...

[It's not something he completely agrees with, but most people seem to have this sentiment so he doesn't feel amiss in expressing it.]

I mean it, though. Cherish your memories. You carry those people inside your heart. Being aware of loss is painful, but it could be much worse.

[melodyoftheabyss]

Yes, you are right about that.

[ She nods her head. It is true. She's content with knowing her friends won't have to deal with the Tower. She's fine carrying the burden for them. She is after, a soldier, and that is what she does best. ]

Thank you, Xehanort, I will keep those words in mind. Indeed, there are always things far worse than loss.

[terra_nullius]

[He cocks his head slightly.]

Do you mean that? So many people can say such a thing simply because to them it's a concept far removed.

[melodyoftheabyss]

Yes I do.

[ She replied firmly. ] I do not take words of others lightly.

[ He is honest and when he said those words, thus she has no reason not to follow his advice. ]

It is helpful.

[terra_nullius]

One should always take the words of others with a grain of salt. One never knows what is true and what is not... false belief is how misinformation spreads.

Nevertheless, inasmuch as I can be, I'm sorry for your loss.

[melodyoftheabyss]

It is not the matter of truth or not. Sometime what people say can be uncertain but sometimes it can be rather helpful and honest.

Misinformation is also something that comes from it, but it is not simply limited to just misinformation.

[ The fonist replied with a gentle tone. ]

It is alright. There is no time to remain saddened. It is a matte of time before it is time to continue forward
