[It started out as a normal day-- if it can be called "normal" considering that two of his housemates are currently about eight years younger than usual, but fairly uneventful regardless. The "keep Asbel from getting himself or Hubert killed" duties were passed back and forth between him and Cheria as needed until finally he managed to escape and leave them to pester Cheria about the dinner she's currently preparing.

... come to think of it, he hasn't seen Sophie all day. He should go let her know that dinner is almost ready.

He hardly gets the door open six inches before he realizes with a sinking feeling that something is terribly wrong. Sophie's room is empty, bare, as if no one had ever lived in it at all. And Richard has been in Luceti long enough to know what that means...

It's with a neutral expression born from years of practice that he shuts the door behind him and heads back downstairs to inform the others of this, opening his journal to send a short message on the way.]

For those of you who knew her, Sophie has been sent back home to Efinea.

[He really isn't looking forward to explaining this to Asbel and Hubert...]

Might I ask how you knew Sophie, Sir Kouki?

[Voice]

[de_bel_survivor]

During an experiment, the 'Luceti Valley' one as 'uncle' and 'niece'.

[Voice]

[ledbythewind]

Of course, when we all believed we were part of families. I'm afraid I've forgotten most of our extended family from that particular experiment-- I admit it's not something I've tried too hard to remember.

[Voice]

[de_bel_survivor]

It's understandable. [He dislike the fact that the experiment made him forget Naoya as family.] I managed to remember some of my 'relatives' because I somehow talked with them some more after it's over.

[Voice]

[ledbythewind]

Yes, I've spoken with Tear since then, but beyond that... I'm also sure there are many people who would rather not remember the events of that week at all.

[Voice]

[de_bel_survivor]

It's understandable. That experiment did affect our identities in a big way, even if we had nice memories.

[Voice]

[ledbythewind]

Did you end up getting some good memories out of it, Sir Kouki?

[Voice]

[de_bel_survivor]

Yes, I did. It's rather nice to have family around that cares for you. [He miss it.]

[Voice]

[ledbythewind]

Yes, it is. But the good thing about this place is that there's nothing to stop us from continuing to think of each other as family, if both people involved so wish.
