Uh...I think I'm back...hard to tell though, I guess. Maybe this time someone will be there to read it? I wonder how long I've been gone...

[[ooc: Boy, is it good to be back~ I was nice to Sheena here and she's not almost dead for once :) ]]

That's weird, but... I'm just glad you're okay.

[Voice]

[corrinesbell]

Yeah, it is weird, but I can't say I'm not okay with it.

[Voice]

[knightofratatosk]

Usually people are in much worse shape when they get sent back from a kidnapping. I wonder why they didn't do anything to you.

Maybe... maybe it'll be the same for Richter and Tenebrae.

[Voice]

[corrinesbell]

They're probably sick of trying to find stuff out about me. Or there's nothing else important to know.

[Voice]

[knightofratatosk]

[Now he's worried.]

Richter and Tenebrae have never been kidnapped before...

[Voice]

[corrinesbell]

It's different every time, Emil. I don't wanna make you upset, but you've gotta be prepared for everything.

[Voice]

[knightofratatosk]

I know, but...

[Voice]

[corrinesbell]

No matter how much you worry you can't change what's happening, so it doesn't do anyone any good.

They'll be fine when they get back.

[Voice]

[knightofratatosk]

I wasn't fine either time they returned me.

[Voice]

[corrinesbell]

You are now. Unless you're still all black and blue from throwing yourself at the barrier.

[Voice]

[knightofratatosk]

... it's getting better?

[Voice]

[corrinesbell]

You don't have some weird thing for running into walls or anything, right?

[Voice]

[knightofratatosk]

N-no! Why would you think that?

[Voice]

[corrinesbell]

Just an idea I guess.

[Voice]

[knightofratatosk]

I'm not that bad, and besides, I did this on purpose. Even if it was a bad idea.

[Voice]

[corrinesbell]

Was it worth it?

[Voice]

[knightofratatosk]

... it didn't get Richter or Tenebrae back.

[Voice]

[corrinesbell]

They'll come back.

[Voice]

[knightofratatosk]

I... I miss them.

[Voice]

[corrinesbell]

Well of course you miss them, Emil. They're your friends.

[Voice]

[knightofratatosk]

I'm worried about everyone who has been kidnapped, I really am, but... I can't help worrying about Richter most of all. Does that make me a bad person?

[Voice]

[corrinesbell]

What about that makes you think you're a bad person for doing it?

[Voice]

[knightofratatosk]

I should be worrying about everyone else too, but I can't stop thinking about Richter and whether he's okay or not.

[Voice]

[corrinesbell]

If you worry about every single person with the same intensity you'll drive yourself crazy. Richter's important to you. It makes sense that you'd worry the most about him.

Every time I wake up and he's not there, it's like some sort of bad dream. But this dream doesn't end when I wake up.
