Pink: @pep!pep!
Hey
Was checking something and saw they just took Sunshine.

Pink: Anyway it's been a while and they haven't replaced Sunset yet, but at this point we've got space, so it's coming.
Get your newbie speeches ready 👌

Nova-chan could probably use a primer too, right?



[If anyone drops by the dorm there's a stalk of bamboo that's been slotted into the little space between four desks. It has a few tags hanging from it: one that says 'long life' with a simple doodle on it of a sun setting with clouds, another that says 'security' and a doodle of a sun rising, and a last one that says 'balance' and has sun rays hitting a rain cloud. There might be space to hang more paper, and there's a little stack of them next to the bamboo on the desk.]

This... wasn't his decision, was it?

[we_meet_again]

N...no, I don't think so. We had plans to do stuff together this afternoon. He just bought a motorcycle and was excited to ride it and everything.

I don't think he would have left without saying goodbye, if he could help it.

[wonderlandgirl]

I thought that was probably it. It - just didn't seem like him to leave so suddenly. But... I suppose I was hoping he'd gone home. Not just vanished, like Dawn-chan.

[we_meet_again]

Yeah.

If nothing else, hopefully he's been transferred to a program that's better than this one. Maybe he'll finally be able to catch a break.

[wonderlandgirl]

I hope so... everything seemed so hard for him, lately. I just wish he'd been able to go home, like Sunset-chan. Or--

[She sighs. Rise.]

Or - if he had to be stuck here? He at least had something to show for it.
