[York's standing near the entrance to the Leverage Tower, hoping this is all just some kind of sick joke by the castle. But his gut tells him otherwise, that Parker really is gone.

He should really know better than to make friends, shouldn't he?]



Yesterday,
All my troubles seemed so far away,
Now it looks as though they're here to stay,
Oh, I believe in yesterday.

Suddenly,
I'm not half the man I used to be,
There's a shadow hanging over me,
Oh, yesterday came suddenly.

Why she
Had to go I don't know, she wouldn't say.
I said,
Something wrong, now I long for yesterday.



Yesterday,
Love was such an easy game to play,
Now I need a place to hide away,
Oh, I believe in yesterday.

Why she
Had to go I don't know, she wouldn't say.
I said,
Something wrong, now I long for yesterday.

Yesterday,
Love was such an easy game to play,
Now I need a place to hide away,
Oh, I believe in yesterday.

Mm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm.

[Duster listens, reads the other comments, thinks, and thinks a bit more.]

... It's a shame we won't get to see her anymore ...

[encryptedlock]

Yeah. [sigh]

I mean, who else am I gonna teach about holographic locks?

[preparedforthis.livejournal.com]

I don't really know how hard they are to learn ... But there has to be someone else in the castle who can do those locks with you. Even if they haven't arrived here yet. [Pause to think a little farther.] And besides, Parker might come back, York. We can't really tell if she's gone for good ...

[encryptedlock]

Yeah, but...even if she comes back, she won't remember me.

[preparedforthis.livejournal.com]

Yeah ... That part doesn't seem fair.

[And, after an awkward pause:]

I didn't even know she could fight dinosaurs.

[encryptedlock]

[Aww, Duster.]

Well, that's why she had my help.

[He sighs.]

I guess...I mean, even if they don't remember me, sometimes I can still be friends with people....

[preparedforthis.livejournal.com]

Yeah, you're still her friend. Even if she doesn't remember it right now ... She's still got friends out there somewhere.

[He sounds completely sure of that.]

[encryptedlock]

[He's silent for a moment.

Come on, York, you know he's right. How many times has someone left and come back, and you've still been friends with them?]

You think so?

[preparedforthis.livejournal.com]

Just because you don't remember something doesn't mean it didn't happen. That's something I know for sure.

[encryptedlock]

...Especially in this place. Yeah.

[How many people had memory losses, again? Too many.]

Thanks, Duster.

[preparedforthis.livejournal.com]

Sure, York. Anytime.

[encryptedlock]

Take care of yourself, okay?

[preparedforthis.livejournal.com]

Okay, I will.

[He's got an idea forming.]

Hey, York ... Do you want to go out and train later? It might take our minds off things.

[encryptedlock]

[He pauses.]

Yeah. Yeah, that might be a good idea.
