[halfcocked]

It's only for you?!

[even though he's the one looking at the letter. which is indeed only for Hakuren]

But I, no, right? No??

[bestest]

So...

[DRIFTING OFF TO GO LOOK AT HIS OWN BED...]

[quercusoptima]

... I didn't see any others ...

[:x]

[halfcocked]

I don't--so--Shuri can't--

[bestest]

[how about one more]

[quercusoptima]

I'm sorry, Devit.

[halfcocked]

Shuri, Shuri, there's nothing??

[GOING OVER TO HELP LOOK]

[bestest]

[coming out of his room as soon as Devit comes over, empty-handed]

...

[quercusoptima]

[... :x]

[halfcocked]

You can't leave us here! This isn't supposed to happen! We said! That's not how it goes!

[bestest]

It's... [no I'm too distraught to try and be calming]

[quercusoptima]

Devit ...

[reaching to try and take his hands :x]

[halfcocked]

[lets him, just hanging his head and crying, but at least not flipping out violently]

[bestest]

[just going to sit on the bed then. if there is room. with all the suitcases .-.]

[quercusoptima]

[tugging him in for a hug, wordlessly]

[halfcocked]

[clinging to Hakuren ;; still crying, loudly, MAKEUP ALL OVERRRR]

[bestest]

[I'LL JUST BE MORE QUIETLY DEPRESSED...]

[quercusoptima]

[just rubbing his back, looking helplessly at Shuri too]

[halfcocked]

[weakly] But you can't . . .

[then] Shuri . . .

[bestest]

[...looking up at them]

[quercusoptima]

... I'm sorry.

[halfcocked]

Fuck.

You don't have one, huh, Shuri?

[bestest]

I didn't get a letter.

[quercusoptima]

Then it is just me ...

[halfcocked]

[just draped around his neck, hanging there, taking a moment before he says anything]

I always felt like I could just walk out of here. For a while now. That's why I don't ever go to the barrier. Like I could just get sucked out and I'm not ready. If it was both of you--I'd try it, I'd finally go, I'd make myself be ready . . .

Maybe that's bullshit anyway . . . I didn't get any kinda letter.
