[Tidus is sitting on his bed in his new room.]

A few hours ago, I noticed I could hold and move things again.

As long as I do this.

[With little thought, he creates a crystal armor that encompasses his entire body. He lifts up a pencil, twirling it in his hands, marveling it.]

This is another virus, isn't it? That means it's not going to last. I wonder what else I could do.

[ooc: Tidus has crystal mimicry.]

But I should be even more powerful! I can't believe that it skipped over me--

[ she takes a moment to calm herself, sighing ]

...How are you though, Tidus? I see you aren't in the same place that you were before.

[swordplay]

It's not like it does this sort of thing on purpose. It's just random.

I'm okay. I'm at Yuri's world now.

[soulfist]

It's still unfair.

I'm glad to see that you're doing better~ Are you going to venture back to the other side to see your love?

[ video ]

[swordplay]

That's how viruses are.

Thanks. No. Even if I could, I wouldn't put her through that.

[ video ]

[soulfist]

But, you both deserve to be together...

[swordplay]

Th-- that's not how it works...

[he puts his head in his hands.]

[ video ]

[soulfist]

You can't just give up--!

...I'm sorry, Tidus.

[running his fingers through his hair, he looks at her, eyes wild and hands taut.]

What choice do I have?! I'm gone, Morrigan, and for whatever reason you people all still get to see the illusion. I shouldn't even be here...

Reminding Yuna of that would be too cruel...and painful.

[ she gasps, surprised by this...but she doesn't say anything. actually, she looks pretty upset ]

[Is he crying? Probably. He mumbles after a little while.]

I'm sorry. I didn't mean to snap.

[ video ]

[soulfist]

I'm sorry, I shouldn't have gotten into your business like that. I knew it would bother you and I just kept talking-- like now.

[ video ]

[swordplay]

It's okay. Really. [he offers her a smile.]

[ video ]

[soulfist]

...If you ever need help or would like to see her again, you can let me know. I'll try to work something out.

[swordplay]

[he bows his head, mainly to hide his eyes. he thought he'd stop crying. he always wants to see her. every time he thinks of her, there's a numbness to remind him of what he can't feel.]

Thanks.

[soulfist]

Anytime, dear.

[swordplay]

I'm lucky to have such good friends.

[ video ]

[soulfist]

It's hard to find such good friends~

[swordplay]

Fortunately, I don't need to find them.
