That really sucks.

[all replies will be at least an hour or so later]

[fourstonewalls]

That's one way of putting it.

Re: [all replies will be at least an hour or so later]

[norainu]

I know how it is. Best I can say.

[fourstonewalls]

Anyone who doesn't is either delusional or a new arrival.

Thanks.

[Another note, added a bit later:]

People have left, and come back, correct? I've never witnessed it, personally.

[norainu]

Yeah. Seems like they don't remember what happened, though.

I died and came back, myself. And I did remember everything. Dunno if that helps.

[fourstonewalls]

I'm not sure whether I should find that reassuring or disturbing.

[norainu]

I'd go with disturbing.

[fourstonewalls]

Second chances aren't something to be scoffed at.

[norainu]

Ain't much of a second chance if you don't remember the first time around.

[dividedby]

She's [ink blot; scribbles]

What happened?

[fourstonewalls]

The staff claim she's gone home.

[fourstonewalls]

I didn't specify for whom, did I?

[norainu]

Guess you didn't.

[dividedby]

For her sake, I hope that's the truth.

[fourstonewalls]

Me, too.

Can I ask who this is?

-- Lana

[dividedby]

Zero. I was wondering if it was you who posted this.

[fourstonewalls]

You were right.

Thank you for looking out for her.

[dividedby]

I'm sorry I couldn't do more.

[ink blot] She didn't deserve this.

[fourstonewalls]

I don't think any of us deserve this.

Not even

[dividedby]

No.

That's why we have to stop Landel as soon as possible. For Ema, and for everyone.

[fourstonewalls]

I won't argue with that.

[fourstonewalls]

Besides, I'm not sure she'd want to remember any of this.

[norainu]

Then it'd probably be better if she didn't show back up.

[dividedby]

[...] Is there anything I can do for you?

[fourstonewalls]

Ask me that again tomorrow.
