[When Lust appears on the 'gear, she's looking a bit less put together than usual. Not much makeup, still-short hair falling naturally and without any pins or styling. She looks tired.]

I'm sorry have to say, but..

Wrath is no longer among us.

[She leaves it at that. Nothing further she wants to say is anything she's about to put on the public network.]

And sometimes talking about a thing only makes it feel more real and close.

[Lust stands from the edge of her bed and moves to her vanity, sitting in the elegant little chair there and looking at herself in the mirror. She looks a mess, she knows she does.]

If I feel a need to talk, however...I will. Thank you. And for the offer of help. They're...scattered all over, as children's things are. And god knows I bought him troves of things.

That's no less true.

[Feelings are complicated and hard. Especially ones of loss.]

He was important to you, it makes sense. ...and children's things will get everywhere. I'll keep an eye out.

[He pauses for a moment, thinking back.]

Speaking of that....I know it's not the same circumstances but. When I lost Cheryl, I ....had to collect all of her things and put them away since I had a baby. And you're right, things get everywhere, and sometimes you'll miss something and then find it when you least expect it.

....things like that can really catch you off guard, more then you think a toy or a drawing might.

It's not that different.

[Lust's talking more to herself, really, and she sighs and rakes back the unkempt curls hanging about her face.]

It's just...I've been taking care of him so long...teaching him, guiding him, trying to protect him... and he was here so long, and just a child. It's so foolish but I thought he had...better odds than most. To stay.

He deserved to stay here.
