[reassures]

Ino Yamanaka has left the Port.

She was running a flower shop, but I don't know if she had any papers leaving that to someone in the event of her disappearance. As far as I know there are a few other workers from it still here, so whatever happens to it will be left up to their discretion.

If Ino left unpaid bills with anyone, or any affairs that need settling, please let me know-- I can handle them, just let me know. My name is Nill.

[She pauses. Nill rarely addresses the network at large, and it feels a little too somber to only talk about someone disappearing.]

If anyone knows of any job openings, I could use a new job as well. I don't have enough hours at my current job right now to pay all of my bills. I have enough savings right now that I can handle things for Ino, but leaving it like this for very long wouldn't be the best idea.

I've worked in a lot of different places, but I'm not very good behind a register.

[reassures]

At least seven people that I knew since August, and they're just the people I knew.

I don't know. I think so. I never went there while Ino was here.

I don't think so. I have lots of flowers in my apartment, and it hasn't gotten rid of me yet. Maybe it has something against people who sell flowers?

[A pause.]

Someone new is running Minako's boarding house, too. Though I think only three people actually live there now... it's a lot different from when I first moved in.



It's been awhile. How are you doing?

[madeinoblivion]

Yeah. It's been awhile. I haven't really been in the mood to mess around on the network, or do anything fun.

I've been...okay.

Namine's gone.

[reassures]

I haven't, either. It's been better than not doing anything lately, though.

[She remembers Namine a little. She couldn't have spoken with her more than once or twice, but Nill knows she was important to Joe.]

I'm sorry.

Shika's gone, too.

[madeinoblivion]

Uh huh. I'm sorry about Shika too.

Sam's gone now, so... it's stupid of me to even stay mad at him for what happened to Sam.

[reassures]

A lot of people were mad at him for it. I was really upset at the time, but I didn't really blame you for being mad at him.

I'm not sure who else is even still here from back then. Gilbert is, but people seem to come and go a lot more now than they used to...

[madeinoblivion]

Jinx is still here.

[reassures]

[Hah. He can't think of more than one person, either.]

That's good to hear. I never really spoke with her, but I'm glad she's still here.

[madeinoblivion]

And Roxas too. And that weird old guy who taught with Master Aqua that wants me to go to school- Dr. Orpheus! He was here before me, even!

[reassures]

Oh! I didn't know Roxas was still here... he always seemed really nice. Is his friend still here? The girl. I think her name was Xao?

I guess there are more people here than I thought.

[madeinoblivion]

Xion? Yep, she's here too. (She just lost her boyfriend, though.) I don't know what I'd do, if they were gone too.

[reassures]

Oh... Was that Ventus? He was really nice, too.

I didn't realize you were so close with them.

I'm glad they're still here.

[madeinoblivion]

Yeah, that was Ven.

Xion's like a sister to me. Roxas is my best friend.

[reassures]

They seem like good people, from what I've seen of them. You have good friends.

[madeinoblivion]

Yeah. I'm lucky.

[reassures]

You're very lucky. I hope you'll get to stay together.

[madeinoblivion]

I hope so more than anything. I promised Xion I'd try my best to find some way, some how, to keep us all together. That I'll never forget her.

I don't want to break that promise because of being taken away.

[reassures]

I think, if anyone here, you might be okay. You can probably keep that promise.

[madeinoblivion]

Really? You believe that? Why me?

[reassures]

It's a little hard to explain.

You seem like you can do anything.

[madeinoblivion]

Well... the trick is, I've gotta have faith in me!

And then I guess everyone else believes it, too.

[reassures]

I'd have faith in you even if you didn't.

It probably helps to have faith in yourself, though.

[madeinoblivion]

Well what about you then, don't you believe you can do anything?

[reassures]

I'll believe I can do something when I actually manage to accomplish something.

[madeinoblivion]

Well, what do you dream about accomplishing?

[reassures]

[Nothing that she can tell Joe about, that's for sure. And nothing she could still do without the people she cared about.]

For a long time, all I really wanted to do was to be able to live with the people I cared about. It seemed simple, and I would have been happy with just that.

When it became obvious I couldn't do that, I wanted to work in a bakery... But even that doesn't seem very important anymore.

The only thing I really want to do now is to be able to protect the people I care about.

[The problem is, though... they're all gone now.]
