We're Still Here, We Still Have Each Other

[It takes Fukawa some time to pull herself together but when she does-- she moves with a purpose. Everyone will find a note in practiced writing:]

Though all we've be through today was awful, and you might not want to face it-- you're not facing it alone. There will be food and drink in the VIP Lounge. And company. Whatever your feelings are now, it's okay. I won't tell you want to think or how to feel. But you don't have to carry it alone.

[True to her word, she worked hard to make snacks and light warm foods for everyone as well as drinks-- alcoholic and otherwise. Everyone is welcome. She even stops by the information desk to extend an invitation to SIS.]

...Ice water? Um...please.

[Even now, she still won't get drunk. Not ever.]

[He huffs a laugh, ruffles her hair lightly.] Coming right up.

I hope we're okay. With um...Xander. Y'know.

[cyan_maid]

...Just don't do it again.

[She's too tired to put any force or anger into her words, so it comes out as a huff.]

[motherfucking_ghost]

He's a big boy, he can more than take care of himself. Trust me. You're talking to the Champion of Learning the Hard Way.

[or the champion of loss.jpg but who's counting at this point, have some ice water!]

[cyan_maid]

[She takes it with a nod and a soft "thanks", and sips at the water. Her mouth is so dry. She's so, so dehydrated, this sucks.]

...Seriously. Please. We can't...we can't keep fracturing off like this. Or we won't make it.

[motherfucking_ghost]

I promise he and I have our differences behind us, at the very least until this is all over. And I'm hoping after that, too.

We're gonna work something out. Just hold on a couple days. We're gonna need everyone together on this, and that includes you.

[Her grip tightens on the cup just slightly.]

I didn't come this far to die now. I'm...you're not losing me.

[motherfucking_ghost]

Not so long as he's still alive, we're not. [If something happens to Xander, holy shit, but until that happens...] Sundays are always shitty and weird. We're gonna get together Monday. Work something out.

[cyan_maid]

[Ahahah, well, she'll sure as heck try to die then!!]

...Right. I'll be there.
