I have a question for the group. Has anyone tried to find family or friends they have lost over the years, or a trace that they might have passed through the Netherworld? Have you been successful?

If not, would you? What would you say to them if you managed to find them?

i havent seen any sign of them
where would you even look

[windsongs]

That's a good question.
I would assume that talking to some of the restless that have been here for an extended period of time would work, but I was wrong

[telepathy]

my clan was hundreds
i would have found one of them by now

[windsongs]

[ She knows what clan Mavis belongs to but... ]

Was? Did something happen to them?

Don't feel obligated to tell me if you don't feel comfortable talking about it

[telepathy]

thats a stupid thing to say
why would i feel obligated

[ ? ?? ? people rly be like this all the time and she just doesn't understand ]

they died
obviously

[ she's been looking for them here for a reason ]

It may seem stupid to you, but the last thing I want to do is force someone to relive something they would prefer to keep to themselves

[ Mavis's message goes unanswered for a few minutes, most of which Hibiki spends typing. She manages to write a few responses, but none of them feel right to send. Not like this... ]

I know that sympathy won't change anything, but I really am sorry you have to go through that
I've only lost one person. I can't imagine what having an entire clan wiped out must be like

do you know why? or are you still trying to piece that together?

hibiki?

[ wait ]

[windsongs]

you said you lost something important to you so
I figured I'd just message directly instead of staying anonymous

[telepathy]

oh
i know why
they died because of me

[windsongs]

[ ... ]

what do you mean because of you?
