2nd Splash

[splashpuppy]

[Action]

[Hajime is deep in conversation with... the fountain? Whatever he's discussing with the water, he seems pretty upset by it. And distracted enough to not notice anyone approaching.]

[Voice]

People here just sometimes... disappear and don't come back, don't they? Different from what just happened. Not like when everyone had to go fight. He's been gone longer than that.

[There's a brief pause]

It's lonely here.

[knightofratatosk]

Was it someone you met here, or a friend from your world?

[Voice]

[splashpuppy]

From home. I've known him my whole life.

[Voice]

[knightofratatosk]

Oh... I'm sorry. You must miss him a lot, then.

[Voice]

[splashpuppy]

Mmhmm.

[His voice shakes a bit]

He made everything here a little easier.

[Voice]

[knightofratatosk]

[Oh no, Hajime, don't cry, you're going to make Emil sad. :(]

I'm sure he'd be glad to know that you miss him, but I don't think he would want you being too sad over it either. No friend wants someone they care about to feel sad.

[Voice]

[splashpuppy]

That... kinda sounds like something he would say.

[wow]

[Voice]

[knightofratatosk]

It does?

[This surprises him a little.]

[Voice]

[splashpuppy]

Yeah... he's always really good at making people feel better.

[WHich means it would be nice... if he was here now.]

[Voice]

[knightofratatosk]

Then... I'm glad I can help make you feel better too, even if it's only a little bit.
