Back? Well—I knew for a long time that I wanted to come back here, after all. Nearly everyone I know has moved on from it, these days.
[ There's one obviously in Nero's handwriting, with his usual artistic flourishes—Nero and Glory saying that they're doing well, and that Kyrie sends her love and Jason and Raven are doing great and the Sparda twins are even getting along. ]
Well, I know it wouldn't be that comfortable. Usually I only have a guest or two at a time—but even so, if it's not safe to travel, you shouldn't worry about imposing...

[He puts them neatly back in their place.]
Would you come back with us?

Re: SHRIKE'S BEDROOM
[He shakes his head, idly investigating the chest drawers.]
But graduation... that's not something any of us have seen yet. It's a little early to talk about that. That includes you.

[ and then something happens???? ]
Re: SHRIKE'S BEDROOM

Re: SHRIKE'S BEDROOM

[ she glances, pensive, outside again. ]
...well, of course I wouldn't think you were trying to cause trouble, or anything...
Re: SHRIKE'S BEDROOM
But it's not right. This... isn't real.
Re: SHRIKE'S BEDROOM
[ actually there's uh. there's screaming now ]
