[ For those who haven't yet mastered the art of keeping their emotions at bay (ie. Trunks here), sending out flutters of anything falling into the confused and scared categories over the amulets is not anything that he's aware he's doing as he quickly sends this message out. ]

Hey!

How do you bring someone back here? What do you gotta do? There has to be a way to do that, right?

[ This place is like magic or something, isn't it? ]

I... don't know.

Are they going to be all right, where they returned to?

I don't know...

[ And he sincerely doesn't which.. sucks. A lot. ]

I'm sorry.

All I know that there are names which are on the wall numerous times. So people sometimes come back, and it might be all right.

[ Oh, look, things that a month ago, Larsa would not have thought to say. ]

But there's no guarantee. Why would you bring someone here and then take them away so quickly? That just... that's just stupid.

[ There is a slight delay as Larsa considers the question. ]

I... do not know. I think it may depend on why we are brought here and how. Perhaps whatever ... connects with each of us does so at varied strengths, and the connection loosens after a while - just sooner with some.

Truly, I do not know why some people stay long and others not at all. But, with some of them, even one day may be better than none.

I don't want just one day or a few days. I want my dad back.

[ ... welp. ]

I... understand.

[ So do I. ]

Are you all alone, now?

[ Listen. That's what he was when Gabranth and Hope left. It's important to check. ]

My mom's here but now how do I know she won't leave like that either?

[ This clearly troubles him. ]

I... do hope that she will not.

[ The boy sounds younger than him even, and Larsa is far too aware that pointing out reality - like that people can be gone from your life in the blink of an eye, regardless of what world one is in - will very distinctly not be a good idea. ]

I have heard that people may come again, even though they have left. It has happened, so, while there are no guarantees, there is hope, as well.

[ Sadly, Trunks is coming to learn this is A THING within this world... and he's not too sure how to feel about it. ]

Yeah, well, hope isn't good enough.

[ Clearly why he's aligned to Thras and not Peromei, right??? ]

[ Clearly. Larsa is finding his own alignment difficult these days still, but. ]

Unfortunately, there are times when we need to make do with what is not good enough.

Until we find a better way, however. No longer.
