[He'll start with any handwriting he'd recognize from avante.]

...would you go back?

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. ]

...And if that wasn't the case? If you were the only one who moved on and the rest of us were still there.

[He puts them neatly back in their place.]

Would you come back with us?

Ah—well, even so... I had a duty to the world, you know.

There's always a lot of what-ifs and maybes about where people end up after graduation, but my place is here.

If things had progressed that way naturally, perhaps.

[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.

Ah—I mean, it was one of the most important days of my life, it'd be hard to—

[ and then something happens???? ]

[Yeah, you know... that's not a terrible sign or anything. It's Fine.]

...It's a shame, because none of us really got to experience that day with you. You're the only one who knows what that day looked like.

What, are you saying I ought to hold another celebr—

[ she falters in her teasing tone when the sky darkens, looking outside in a slightly worried way. ]

Ah—

...I didn't expect weather to start coming on this suddenly...

[He's thinking about his next response, when the conversation shifts.]

...is everything outside going to be okay if it starts storming?

[He grew up in a rural town-- he understands a little bit about the nature of plant-y things.]

...well, it might knock down my wildflowers, but...

...there's plenty, as far as provisions, go—I store a lot of things, so.

If you all have to stay through the storm, I can roll out some blankets, I'm sure.

I'm not sure we'll be able to stay that long. I don't really know how long we have. But-- it's a nice idea.

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...

I'm more concerned about why that storm appeared now.

Sorry, it's likely our fault. Things might get a bit more chaotic before we're done.

But we're trying to help.

Eh...?

[ she glances, pensive, outside again. ]

...well, of course I wouldn't think you were trying to cause trouble, or anything...

I'm sure everything here is really precious to you. After all-- you're the one who created it.

But it's not right. This... isn't real.

Still...?

[ actually there's uh. there's screaming now ]
