Y'know, I get that this place can send people home 'n all that stuff, but... I dunno if I can ever get used to it. I, ah... I found out a really good friend of mine is gone. A bunch of people might've known him--his name is Francis Bonnefoy. The delivery guys dropped off a bunch of books that were from him for me earlier. He... I liked him a lot.

_{[Demyx fumbles for words, unsure as to what to even say. What does anyone say in this situation?]}

We went on a date before he disappeared, too. I dunno how I can really repay that, but I wanna dedicate a night at Purgatory to the guy. If it wasn't for him, I probably would've been toast when I showed up last year. Not tonight, though. I think I'm just gonna hang around with the regulars tonight if that's cool with Jinx 'n Gabe. I guess the whole point of this thing was just to let you guys know he's sorta... Not here anymore. M'gonna miss him, but he's gotta be safer back home. He's just gotta be.

Yeah. Since May-ish, I think. _{[Then he laughs a bit.]} Same here, man. Same here.

[Another painful pause. He feels really bad for snapping at the guy now he knows they'd been out and it shows in his slightly humbled tone.]

I guess you understand what it's like then, huh...? What's your name?

Guess so. It's Demyx--you?

Demyx... it's Kaiji.

[Damn it, he's starting to get emotional again. Kaiji swallows hard, trying to hold it in just long enough to make an excuse and leave but-]

[his voice cracks a little.]

I know we should expect it by now but I can't. I... I can't.

Nice t'meet you.

_{[When he hears his voice crack, Demyx isn't sure what to do. Actually he knows how to comfort people, but not like this. Not in a place where people come and go all the time.]}

I don't think I'll ever get used to it. It was hard enough when friends would move away when I was a kid but I could visit them. Here--I-I dunno.

R-Right. I mean, how the hell do you visit someone who's probably in another dimension or some shit like that-! [he fights it harder, trying to remain calm] I know it's selfish but... but I don't want people to go.

It'd be easier to do if I was back home but even if I was sent back there's no guarantee that I'd ever find him. A-Assuming I could go back to the point before I was killed.

. . .

[That's several instances of "what the hell did you just say" all in two sentences. He's not sure whether to start with the apparent ability to wander through dimensions or the death.]

... I... didn't even realise it was possible to turn up here after you've been kil... [the words fade out in a belated attempt at tact] How do you do it? Sitting around with that hanging over you...

Eh, I dunno. I've been dusted before which is why I look like this but... I guess it's just sort of a normal thing back home. Occupational hazard 'n stuff, yanno? I mean it still doesn't change the whole disappointment thing of being dead and all.

[This time the pause is a lot longer and a lot more... confused. And irritated.]

... death is "disappointing" to you?! [sharply] So, what, it's just like... oh, I don't know. Finding you're outta smokes? Missing the bus? An inconvenience?

[He's not even going to stop and consider that where Demyx comes from is probably a lot different. He was already pretty het-up.]

It's disappointing cuz I couldn't finish up my goal back home. I'm alive here though so it doesn't really matter--I can live my life the way I finally wanna live it. _{[And he frowns slightly, making sure it comes across in his voice.]} I don't smoke, either. Musician 'n all.
