I suppose that you would like to hear that in the weeks Maka was gone people would have pulled together,
Grown strong, smiled, become closer in the act of searching for her.
That they could stand tall as a team, relying on each other and working adamantly for her.
But I won't lie to you
They didn't.

And it started with Stien.

After two weeks of the gut wrenching scavanging with nothing to show but a lack of sleep and a depression heavy and cold that spread between the circle, he pulled the group together, sat them all down.
'This is the end' he said 'By now, she is either dead or gone to far for us to look' he said
'She was already in dire condition before she dissapeared. We can't help her anymore'
He said
They had everyone, and I mean everyone looking as far as they could.
And to hear it from the man who put the nation wide search together just state simply that it was without hope,

Tears were shed, stars passed, most people accepted this ending, maybe because they were tired, maybe it was easier to think she was dead, either way, word was passed that she was no more.

This is the part where I am supposed to say
"But one day, the sun shone again, blah blah blah"
Or some other daydream dew about a perfect wrap up.
Maybe it will end that way.

Maybe Blackstar will feel like a great god again instead of barely able to feel like anything more than wet sand.
Maybe Liz can get Patty to smile again and they can make paper giraffes together.
Maybe Tsubaki can stop trying to fix everyone and calm down.
Maybe Death the kid could pick up a book or correct the imperfect alignment of the paintings in the hall.
Maybe Spirit could get off the bottle and check on his students some time.

And Soul, maybe....
No

Who are we kidding,
If Maka doesn't come back

He won't try to live at all.
All he had was her, every day he was angry and driven.
Every night was the nightmares of her.

He seems to think there is a sliver of hope, and he will be the one to find her and everything will be OK for them, how delusional.
But who am I to say?
Will you too follow that delusion, knowing that she will be saved for this happy ending?
