Fifty Seventh Summons: She doesn't deal with grief well

[shallbeavenged]

[She's gone. She's gone. She's gone. She's gone. This repeats in her head over and over. She's gone. Ema, Ema wasn't supposed to leave. Ema stayed. Ema was one of the consistent ones. She didn't just appear and then vanish she stayed. Not like everyone else. She wasn't allowed to be just like everyone else. Like, Saki, like Jane.

Ai stares at the wall before slowly standing up. Housemates may notice that the small child isn't emotionless looking for once, she looks angry.

The charred remains of the telephone might also give you that impression.

A. Ema wasn't supposed to get droned. The town droned her. It must have been for some reason. And what was always behind the bad things that happened to her? ....or who. Well one Edward Nygma. Which is why she's appeared in his house, in front of him. 

B. There is a small girl huddled up in the park. She looks miserable. More miserable then usual. The burnt tree next to her doesn't look very happy either. But hey, at least it's not on fire anymore. Just...burnt.]

[Well that's... not good. Seems to be a bit of that going around.]

Ai?

[shallbeavenged]

[Glances over and then back to the ground.]

...Yes?

[bread_goes_bip]

It's... Ema, isn't it?

[shallbeavenged]

She's gone.

[Of course it is. Ema was like a mother to her. Ema came back and was nice to her twice. Even when she didn't have to talk to her at all the second time.]

[bread_goes_bip]

It's never easy, losing someone important like that.

[And droning, well, that's a different sort of loss]

[shallbeavenged]

No.

[No it isn't. She hates it.]

But everyone leaves here.

[Except for her. Never her.]

[bread_goes_bip]

It never really seems to make sense.

[shallbeavenged]

No. People just leave.

[Now she's worried other people she's close to will leave. What will she do if they drone Wanyudo or Scout, or Slugger....]

[bread_goes_bip]

But... it's still worth it.

[She... has a bad feeling]

[shallbeavenged]

.....is it?

[bread_goes_bip]

Nothing lasts forever. So that leaves two options: Either nothing is worth it, or everything is. I've tried both ways.

[shallbeavenged]

....everything?

[bread_goes_bip]

Letting people in is worth it. Even for beings like us.

[shallbeavenged]

[It takes a moment but she slowly nods.]

....I suppose....

[bread_goes_bip]

That one takes a while to really get the hang of, believe me.

[shallbeavenged]

How long did it take you?

[bread_goes_bip]

Actually figuring it out only really took a couple days... but first I was wrong about it for a couple million years.
