Hey guys. I, uh, just wanted to let everybody who knew her know that Presea's gone. ...All her stuff and everything. She didn't...leave stuff for people, that I know of, so there's nothing to come and get.

...I know we're always kinda supposed to say this stuff, but I believe that she really is better off going back home. That way she'll get to learn things for herself.

Oh...

[She knows that Sheena's right about that, though.] Are you all right?

... Hmm.. As long as there's still something back home to go back for, then it's alright if people leave, isn't it?

[ Her voice is still a bit quiet on this subject - Mami left pretty recently, after all, and the girl's departure has impacted her quite a bit. But at least Homura is still here. ]

Was this Presea a friend of yours, Sheena-san? [Speaking very quietly. Starfish antics are not for now.] Fuuko is sure Presea will be a lot happier back home.

Yeah. I'm okay. The house just feels emptier.

[Not like she hasn't dealt with that before.]

It's hard on us when people leave because...we're all still stuck here, and then we're stuck without whoever left.

But yeah, it's better if people go home as long as it's gonna be okay there.

We're from the same world. [An almost-shrug is in her voice there. Being from the same world only matters to your friendship a) in the beginning and b) if you can remember or if you know each other in the first place. People here end up as friends for many other reasons.]

I know she'll end up happier there too.

I can imagine.

... Do you want to meet for tea, later?

Sure. Got a place in mind?

You can come to my house for once.

Okay. ...I'd've gone there before, too, y'know.

[only teasing.]

I know. [A soft chuckle at that. Not a real laugh, but... what else could be said, really?]

[There's never anything to say, about this. You make what announcements and sense of it you can and then...go on doing other things.

It occurs to Sheena that maybe Raine's not okay with this (and how could she be?) on some level that's really bothering her.]

I'll come over after lunch sometime. Or, uh, when're you done with school stuff today?

After school. I'll be home in the afternoon. [She just needs some time to process it, really. There were some painful losses she's had to work through these past few weeks, with little time to do so thanks to the experiment. Not to mention other certain situations.]

Okay. I'll be there.

[Sheena actually doesn't know much about the other 'losses' - something about this experiment made her feel so out of it. Much of the time she was off painting leaves or patterning windows.]

[Raine wasn't exactly able to communicate during the experiment either, so it works out in the end. ... Granted she wasn't certain what to do with the nettle shirts.]

If the door's open, just come in.

Well if it's not open I'd kinda have to knock, wouldn't I?

[another half-smile. It's the best she can do, sort of.]

Even if Presea will be happier, will you be ok Sheena-san? It's always a shame to see people you know disappear.

I'll be okay. It's not like I haven't had it happen before.

Just because it's happened before doesn't make it any better, but as long as you're really ok. [...] People disappearing seems to be a natural occurrence here.

It happens pretty often. I've been here almost four years, so...I've seen it for a long time.

When Fuuko first heard this, Fuuko thought it was an impressive feat! But if you see so many people leave after being here so long it really can't be that impressive. [There's a light cough as Fuuko wonders what to say next.] ...At least this way, being here so long means you get to meet lots of nice people to balance out the people who leave?

This place experiments upon us, takes away that which allows us to maintain who we are, powers, identity, memories...

Should we not be sadder when our friends show up, and happier when they depart?

... Right. Well.

[She won't have to. In either case...]

... I'll see you later.

Yep, seeya.

[Unsure of when exactly Raine would leave the school once classes were done, Sheena gives herself about an hour window before heading over there.]

You meet them and then they leave, too.

[This is a dark road Sheena doesn't really want to walk down right now.]

...But you're right I guess. There are a lotta good people.
