Another one gone. It hadn't been that long since the neighbour of the person she went to see went away too, about four months time, really.

The scene was the same: no one living in the room anymore, no clothes strewn around, no messy bed... no Roy. Cloche had gone over with some (kind of terrible-looking) food she had made in a basket, maybe thinking to sit outside for a little while with him.

But when she got there and the door was open already...

The basket dropped to the floor, and Cloche would again sit in the room formerly occupied by someone dear to her and cry.

[action]
[After gathering up the food that had spilled in front of Roy's old room in CH4, Cloche might be seen zombie-walking back to her room in CH5, loosely holding a basket full of food. It definitely doesn't look all that great now. To anyone who looks closely, Cloche's eyes are red and puffy, and she's prone to bursts of tears.]

[Written]
[After some time in her room, she'll finally muster up the ability to write something. Speaking about it is too hard right now.]

Roy has gone home to Falena.

[And after a pause in writing:]
If you were in his drama group, and would still like to be, please let me know. I'll try to keep it up as long as I can.

No I didn't. [He did, probably.

But he can't stop here. He sits, hanging his head] 'Ve been strong ever since I was small. Too strong... and I got a temper. [As you just saw...]

Long before I got this tail, I had people calling me a demon. I got in fights all the time. It was stupid - I was stupid. 'Course I didn't get close to no one other than my family.

You're not a demon.

[She's had this conversation with him before; she told him to stay Rin and don't become anything he isn't. A temper flaring isn't quite that, she's fairly certain. ]

...we're not that different. But why is it that you feel so different about all of this? I don't understand it.

'Cus people don't belong here. Sure, going back all at once might make loss not be... there as much, but that means we gotta wait longer, right? But people can't just keep waiting to go home forever and ever. I don't wanna have someone wait one second longer just 'cus of me.

They have to find a way eventually to send us all at once! That's why we're here, right? Even if we don't belong they're still going to keep bringing people here whether they mean to or not. If they can accidentally send people home every so often, then they have to know how to do so all at once!

[This was still frustrating. She was fairly certain they weren't going to agree though.]

...Why did you start to take your sword off of your back?

'Cus... [...Why indeed. It's because he's a dumbass who only knows how to hit things. He holds the weight of Kurikara (in scabbard still) in his hands and sighs] 'Cus this sword's something I'm connected to.

[Headtilt.

Well, there were things she was connected to, beyond the people here. The flowers in the Memory Garden she had planted were one thing. She can sort of understand.]

I don't understand.

This sword's got my heart in it, Cloche. Or my demon spirit or... something. The point is... [And he draws the sword. Calmly assuming his demon form and spewing fire everywhere] It's got me in it.

[But Rin is Rin, this is... difficult to think about. She thinks she can understand, at least a little?]

But your sword isn't everything about you... it can't be. Right?

It's also the last thing I got left from my Old Man. [And he looks down at it, reverently]
