The null cone

[fermionprincess]

My good friends...

[Alessandra sits in front of the wall. Not just a wall - the wall of rememberance. So many names are written there, of White Chalice crew who departed this world.]

Were it not for your valiant efforts, would this very Champion still be able to recite these words, sit where she does? Somehow I find that most doubtful... yet, I cannot help but be overwhelmed by emotions of longing and melancholy.

I suppose...

I suppose I just miss you.

[Alessandra continues to drink her tea in relative peace, but her armored hand shakes while these words are uttered.]

[Yes, this is an invitation to remember and talk about dead characters.]

You are wlling to stand up to injustice, to stare the beast right in the eye and exclaim proudly, thy villainy ends here - at my hands!

Are you not? Then the answer should spring to one's mind by itself.

...I see.

[Man, Al wasn't kidding when she talked about how stupendously optimistic they all were.]
