27. Maybe I'll sleep inside my coat and/Wait on your porch til you come back home

[pompous_today]

My sister, River Tam, has left Paradisa again.

Thank you once more to everyone who was kind to her. It means a lot to both of us.

[And he's just going to leave it there because he's feeling pretty dead inside.]

I'm sorry I didn't get a chance to meet her.

You would have gotten along, I think. Maybe she will come back and you will get a chance to.

[Simon wasn't really hopeful about that prospect right now, but oh well.]

Anything's possible. Is there anything I can do?

[pompous_today]

This is the third time she has come and gone, so who knows?

I will be fine. [Not immediately, but he will be.] Thank you.

It's never easy...to see your family and friends and know it's only going to be for a little while. I know what that's like.

It feels like a revolving door sometimes, yes. Like the castle is just trying to torment me...

dictated;

[freeslider]

Not just you, I'm sure but...yeah...

Just...try not to let it get to you. I know that's asking for a lot, but you don't have to be miserable forever.

"This, too, shall pass." Time will make it better, yes. It has before.

Somewhere out there...someplace and some time...you're still right there with her like always. That has to count for something, right?

dictated;

[pompous_today]

Yes. And when I finally leave this place, I doubt I will remember anything of it anyway.

dictated;

[freeslider]

That's what they tell me.

But for now, I'll let myself feel how I do.
