DESOLATION. || A FE2 AU.

|| Call. ||

"..what do you mean your friend 'disappeared', Citadel?"

I asked the SC on the line. She sounded really.. sad.

"I mean it. I don't know why or how she disappeared, but.. it's true. You HAVE to trust me on this, Decrepit..!"

She pleaded.

"Alright, alright. I already believe you. You don't need to make sure of it."

I reassured her.

"But.. I hope you don't forget that you can always call or personally come to me if you need anything. After all, we're friends."

I said.

"..okay.. okay. Thanks, Decrepit. You're.. really a life saver, you know that? I don't know what else I can do without you."

She said.

"Hey, it's no problem, okay? I'll try my best, for you."

I said.

"Decrepit, you're already doing your best. I know that."

She said.

She's more.. sweeter than usual.

"Thanks, Citadel."

I thanked her.

"I have to go do something now.. it was nice talking to you, Decrepit."

She said.

"I understand. Stay safe."

I said.

"You too, okay?"

She said, before ending the call.

Her demeanor really changed.. not that she was rude back then. But she's a lot nicer than usual.

But still.. that doesn't change the fact that she's probably hurt over the disappearance of her friend she liked a lot.

.. strange.

I've heard rumors of a similar phenomenon that was happening too.

.. maybe that's the case?

But still..

She said it happened when they were in the lobby.

That doesn't justify anything.

.. I'm concerned about her..

I hope she's doing alright.
