[Dictated]

[lightbranded]

 [Will's tone is quiet and a little sad today.]

It seems that many people have been leaving the castle recently.   I wonder how many us will be gone before the end, leaving no hope of ever meeting again.

One goes alone.  I suppose this is true once again.   I know this is my task... that this is the duty that the Light left for me.  But I wonder  if it will ever grow easier to bear.  Did Merriman learn to deal with such leavings as well?

The end?

Dictated forever.

To all things there is an ending.

[whistles_the_blues]

I'm very aware of that.

I just didn't think that was something to worry about here at the moment.

Some day there will be an ending even to this castle. But for now I am speaking more of the people who leave. It may well be that we will never see them again.

[whistles_the_blues]

True enough. But so long as you're here you'll remember them, right?

[lightbranded]

I will always remember. [Though Will knew that not everyone would remember him. Just as he had been forgotten by so many in his own world.]

[whistles_the_blues]

Sometimes, that's all you can do.

[He knows that feeling Bro.]

[lightbranded]

To do what we can. Sometimes that is the best that can be done.

[whistles_the_blues]

It's how I've gotten by for the longest time.

[lightbranded]

It works well enough.
