But... it felt like when we talked, the tower was the primary option. Even though I do remember the secret you shared.
[ that he was jealous of iris for leaving, back the first time that he used the whistle ]
So... I'm excited for a future where you get to choose something else. If Adolphe and I do find a farm somewhere, and we can be in touch and people can find each other again... you're always welcome where I am.
...It's still the Tower, for now. I can't leave for real until I figure out how to help Iris, or at least where to find him. After that... I'm not sure.
[ it's scary. the fear of that moment has never gone away, and all the trouble here in heaven have only made it worse. now that he knows what loss is like, he's even more afraid of experiencing it again, in a place where he won't have the chance to reunite later.
but it's given him the chance to meet people he never knew how much he'd come to care about, either. someone told him here that knowing those people and having those connections was always worth it, even with the inevitable loss hanging over their heads. maybe laurence can finally believe that, just a little. ]
...Thanks, Yves. I... I'll think about it, if we really can do that. It'd be a lot easier, that way.
Mm.... I understand. There's some people you just can't leave alone, right?
[ after how much people lectured yves that he couldn't just try to immediately follow adolphe after he died, and how he still thought about it anyway.... he gets it ]
It'd be nice, but... I'm afraid until then, I'll agree with everyone else. I'd like to make the most of our time together.
I don't think anyone's forgotten. It's just that we don't know where to start.
Although... I did try to record something at the lighthouse today, and the files came out just glitchy as the sender for the voicemail I got that Sunday. I was wondering if that meant she might be around there somewhere, too... like maybe this is where she recorded that conversation. Assuming it was her who sent it, anyway.

You're part of my home, Laurence.

[ yves that is a little insane but you're allowed. i guess. ]
Everything is all messed up now, though.
no subject
Yeah, but I didn't really come back all excited for the sights besides the beach. I was excited to see all of you.
no subject
[ awful! ]
...Yeah. Sounds like you. Are you just planning to hug everyone, now that you're here?

no subject
Mostly just for fun at this point.

... I am sorry for leaving. I did my best, but Monsieur Lucas beats me every time. I'm just glad to be back here now.
no subject
[ truthfully he isn't sure what to do with that. ]
As long as you're okay, it's fine. Your souls are healed and no one else is getting possessed and that's what matters.
no subject
That's true. It really is starting to look up all around.
no subject
So we just need to find Ariel, fix this place, and we're done...?
