XLIV
[After waking up with Harmony and that entire mess, Zelos eventually left and returned to his own room to clean up. From there he saw that it was snowing...great. Not feeling like walking through the snow back to the city, he decided to visit his sister to spend the day with her.]
[Except when he got there? The door plate was empty, and any sign that it was ever once her room was gone. ]
[....]
[When it snows, it blizzards, it seems.]
[After a long while, he'll finally open up the journal and give a quick dictation in a practiced calm manner. ]
Seles Wilder's returned home.
[And that's all he feels like saying]
[OOC: sorry for the spam!]

[Once-ler]
Yeah, really. When I left, she was safe back at the abbey. [Which...really really sucks that they still aren't together but at least she's safe so he's sticking to that logic]
[Zelos]
You going to be okay?
[Once-ler]
[hahah oh if only he knew the details of the Sheena stuff]
Me? Sure, people go home all the time, right?
[Zelos]
[He will never tell Zelos any of that, ever. Besides, Sheena's brushed him aside. Which really, he's glad for. He didn't WANT her following after him, follower of the bro code without even knowing it exists, this one]
It's different when it's family, Zelos.
[Once-ler]
[a pause; then a sigh]
Just bad timing you know? We were finally working things out and spending time together and...[she's gone]
[Zelos]
[A delicate pause] Will you at least get to see her when you go back home?
[Once-ler]
[a pause] Hopefully. I'm still trying to get her out of the abbey back home.
[he wonders if he should violate his rule about asking about the future to see if he's successful...]
[Zelos]
[Pause] Yeah I think I've reach my maximum levels of positivity.
...I'm rooting for you?
[Once-ler]
Don't worry, too much positivity would just be weird on you.
[he'll sigh, and as if concluding to himself]
Aw well- whatever will be, will be. There's no point in worrying over it.
[Zelos]
[Once-ler]
[a pause; and honestly this is something he would not express to too many people. Onceler is an exception since hey, he'll get it and not think it sounds stupid]
She actually said..she wanted me around. Wasn't lying either.
Never thought I'd hear it.
[Zelos]
Then that's great. I mean, that means there's hope yet, right?
[Once-ler]
Yeah, a lot more than I thought there was.
Just..gotta make sure not to screw it up!
[Zelos]
Well, you're not a complete screw up all the time, I'm sure you can get through it.
[...He tried ok]
[Once-ler]
Gee, thanks Once-ler. I feel the love in those words.
