How come?

[handy-psychic.livejournal.com]

friend of mine is gone. vanished. for good.

[lost-in-osaka.livejournal.com]

Maybe she went back to where she used to remember.

[click-pictures.livejournal.com]

Hey, are you going to be all right?

[handy-psychic.livejournal.com]

yeah, i will be. thank you. it's just hard... my friend disappeared for good, we know it because her journal stopped working.

[handy-psychic.livejournal.com]

yeah, maybe. i hope wherever she is, she's happy.

[artistic-spaz.livejournal.com]

I'm sorry about your friend. Hopefully, she went home.

[handy-psychic.livejournal.com]

i hope so, too- and that wherever she is, she's happy and peaceful. thank you.

[feathered-earth.livejournal.com]

I'm sorry she's gone... the others are probably right that she's back at wherever her home is, but it's still terrible to lose someone.

[handy-psychic.livejournal.com]

thank you.

it really is hard. she- understood me very well.

Bridge...

Want a hug?

[handy-psychic.livejournal.com]

[lemonshine.livejournal.com]

Hmmmm... what to do... what to do...

Do you wanna talk about it?

[handy-psychic.livejournal.com]

[Pen taps.]

I just wish... there was something I could've done about it, that's all. I feel so powerless when things like this happen.

[lemonshine.livejournal.com]

I wish there was something that could be done about all the disappearances. They hurt everybody so much. I want those I'm close to here to stay but at the same time... [Frustrated looking scribbles.]

[handy-psychic.livejournal.com]

We never know when it's going to happen. If it ever does. [He responds with similar scribbles.] Most of the time I try to go with the flow, but now it's really hitting home how impermanent things here are.

[lemonshine.livejournal.com]

It's hard... We all have to move on eventually but right now... it's just hard. There's been so many people go missing recently... Are they happier back home? I wish something other than the weird events were more permanent. I wish we knew more about this place.

I don't

If

She

Please, stop by anytime if you need anything.

[lost-in-osaka.livejournal.com]

She is.

Why would somebody that's a friend imagine her being sad, anyway? Imagine her happy and maybe you'll be happy when it goes down to it.

Kinda like math.

[handy-psychic.livejournal.com]

...

You make a lot of sense. Yeah, that's a good way to look at it.

[handy-psychic.livejournal.com]

I do, too. Why people are born here... why they can vanish so suddenly... where we all came from.

Like Trip said, I'm trying to imagine Clé happy, wherever she went. I know she wouldn't want me to be sad. But she did do a lot for me when we first met, and I never felt like I thanked her enough for it...

[handy-psychic.livejournal.com]

Thank you. I might come by later...

[lost-in-osaka.livejournal.com]

You could always write her somethin', in case she ever comes back.

[lemonshine.livejournal.com]

I don't want you to be sad, Bridge. :( All we can from inside the tree is hope that those who have disappeared are in a better place and with those who love them enough to help them remember.

♥

[handy-psychic.livejournal.com]

Yeah... that's a good idea. I think it'd help me a lot even if she never DOES come back.

[handy-psychic.livejournal.com]

:)

I'm gonna be alright. And you're right; that's all we CAN do, since the disappearances seem to be out of EVERYONE's hands.
