To those who've met her, Serah Farron's not in the city anymore. [Light's keeping her face as straight as possible. Why emote in front of all these strangers?] It's been over a week since her disappearance. She may have been sent back home.

[Which is... honestly better for her, as far as Lightning is concerned. She's her big sister, and she'd have liked to spend more time with Serah, but she has a duty. They both do, but better for Serah to do hers, because it's far more important.]

To the newcomers: take this as a sign that we'll go home someday. No one knows when, but someday it will happen.

[And that's enough of an announcement for today. Just talking about it hurts her.]

Do we know for a fact that people get sent home? Just, um. Curious.

[Steve had figured out that Serah was Lightning's sister, it wasn't too hard after the memory he got from her. Still, he never exactly lost someone that close to him in this place, mostly just friends that were sent back home.]

Your sister, right? [He was pretty sure that Lightning was glad she was back home. But it still was upsetting to see someone go.] I'm sorry, Light.

[Now that's what she wanted to hear, whether or not it was good news for Lightning or bad.]

So there is a way out... Some kind of exit.

Sent home?

[That's... not exactly the best of outcomes, all things considered.]

As we are, or as we were?

[ofsongandstrings]

[Ever since their first meeting, she's found it awkward to approach her, but with this message on the network... it struck a familiar chord in her.]

I am sorry, miss. It is rough... being away from those you care for. [ Something she knows all too well, and something that was far too obvious by the tone Lightning used. ]

I know I did not leave the best of impressions when we first met, but if there is anything you need... just ask.
