[distracted and offhand, as if speaking to herself without realizing the journal is open]

Those days were few. Further cause to cherish small gifts.

Mjrn...

[She recognizes that voice...]

[written] Who is Mjrn?

[long pause]

My sister. She was with us, briefly.

[a pause as well]

"Was"?

She returned home.

And you didn't go with her?

[Fffff sorry Fran. ;-; Don't know the Paradisa basics.]

Paradisa does not alllow us the choice.

[It... doesn't?]

[Her hand freezes; Mayu doesn't know what to say to that.]

... Did you lose someone?...

My sister was here.

... That must be hard. But you'll see her when you go home, right? This place isn't forever. ~~Obviously, since I've been here a thousand times.~~

I will never see her again. I abandoned my village.

... oh.

Maybe she'll come back here. That's... more likely, right? [FAILURE]

No, Luke. It is better for us all if she remains in the Woods, where she belongs.

[a pause]

Right... sorry.

I need no condolences. This is for her sake.

[a pause as he takes the time to read the comments]

[and another pause as he tries to figure out how to pronounce a name without vowels o.0;]

Sorry Fran.

Mm. It is for the best.

Suppose so.

I didn't even know you had a sis.

I had two; Jote the eldest, Mjrn the youngest.

[ baww family, stirs up not so pleasant memories, very long time before he speaks ]

Fran.

[glance at him]

[ tilts his head slightly ]

As redundant and full of folly as this question sounds-- are you okay?

[moment of silence, and then]

I feel regret, having been reluctant to spend time with a sister I gave up, for her sake.
