Litchi Faye-Ling

[The past few days have been terribly confusing for Litchi. The teleportation thing has left her far more shaken than she'd care to admit; falling out of a tree and having a close friend just confess to you will do that to a person.

She's almost desperately seeking a distraction, although being stuck at home isn't exactly making that easy. The best distraction she really has is reading, but... she's already worked through all the books she has.

After some time of fidgeting, she caves in to the urge to ask for advice. Because this... is really not something she's prepared to deal with on her own. Or rather, she's been trying to, and recent circumstances have finally made it clear to her that she really does need outside help.

Once she's made her note in her journal, she stashes it behind a couch cushion in a particularly shoddy attempt at looking inconspicuous and goes back to trying to focus on her book.]

[Locked from Samurai Goroh 100%]

I realize this is a bit of a strange question, but... [...]

[The second part of the message takes her some time to find the words for, so there's a bit of a delay before:]

Is it completely foolish to hold on to a hope that there doesn't seem to be any chance of ever achieving? Even if holding on to that hope is standing in the way of finding happiness some other way?

...Is there any way to make letting go of that hope any easier?

[It's been a very long day. Litchi has been up since before dawn, tending to patients, straightening up the clinic, helping lost little boys, and overall working herself half to death. Only she's looking a ton more energetic than usual, and even as she's leaving the clinic for the night, she's still upbeat and smiling and cheerful.

No, she hasn't gotten into the drugs. Just before heading out to walk home, she'll open up her journal for a quick message.]

Well, it's certainly about time things returned to normal, don't you think? I've had more than enough excitement for quite some time.

Mr. Goroh, David, Miss Yayoi... make sure you're all home within an hour or so, okay? Just because Tao isn't home to eat all your food right now doesn't mean you can be late for dinner. I should be home soon; it won't take long to get back from the grocery store.

[[ooc: AU info this-a-way~ :D

Also feel free to run into her anywhere in the plaza or on her way back to her house. ♥ Or... well, in the house, for her housemates.]]

[It's rather obvious, from her weak and wobbly tone, that Litchi has been crying. A lot. It took her up until now to be able to find the words for this, let alone keep her voice steady enough, but here it is...]

Anyone who knew Mr. Goroh... I... I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but... he...

[Her voice cracks, but she's trying to stubborn though this.] He was killed. In the... the fight against Hazama.

I... I'm so sorry.
