...I can't believe they're all gone.

[For those that know him, they'll note that his voice is softer than it's ever been before. After he makes the call he stares blankly at the phone for a moment or two before setting it down.

Those walking down Beaver Street might see Dist outside in his driveway, like he is almost constantly, but he hardly seems like himself. There are parts strewn all over, both from the Kaiser and from the car, as though he was intending to do some sort of repairs but forgot what he was doing halfway through; he's sitting amidst the mess, staring out at the street with an expression that's somewhere between misery and rage. Sol is curled up in his lap, and next to them is a pot with a single white flower. Now that Anise is gone, taking care of the selenia has fallen to him.

He may or may not snap and scream at you if you come too close.]

[Hi Dad.

Chouno is staring from a small distance. Small enough that his little cough is barely audible.]

[Sol's ear twitches at the sound and Dist looks up, turning his head slightly to see who was there. He sighs a little bit - they're the only ones left in the house, aren't they?]

What?

[That's right-just them.

Awkward.]

...[Not sure what to respond with at first, he eventually settles on]-What's wrong?

This wretched place took them from me. All of them!

[He pounds his fist against the Kaiser, making a hollow thud.]

One... I could handle one. Maybe two. But dammit, why do I keep losing people?! Jade, Anise, Mieu... Even Jecht and Olivier, and I didn't even like them that much! Who even knows if the replica is still around!

[He stares for a while, then just shrugs.]

I won't pretend I can empathise.

Of course you can't! You couldn't possibly.

[Dist huffs a bit and turns his head back, hunching his shoulders up just a bit.]

[Cynric's on his way back from a grocery store when he passes by the mess, and sees Dist amongst is. "Despondent" wasn't a mood he was used to seeing on you.]

Ah, Dist? Something the matter?

[Dist looks up, a little bit surprised to see the boy. He shakes his head.]

I just... this wave of dronings has taken away far too many people. I didn't even LIKE her that much!

Sorry to hear it. Her who? This town is always doing that. You grow attached to someone, and off Mayfield sends them, so it seems.

[Ken happens to be jogging down that street, mainly to clear his head when he sees someone he vaguely knows. Even if it's outside of a rose bush]

Eh? Hey Dist.

[Dist looks up, lifting one hand and waving it very slightly.]

What's up. [He walks over to look at the bits and pieces scattered about]

[The Captain is forever wandering around into bad situations.

Seeing the rubble, The Captain pauses. Seeing Dist with a flower. This was far too easy, so he takes a different tact.]


What happened to you?

[Dist is still not really used to this guy being nice to him. He shakes his head, waving a hand.]

Nothing. Nothing important.

Yeah, well for not being important you're looking like someone just shot your puppy.
