[this is written very slowly and carefully. There may be a couple of wet spots, but they're meticulously blotted up and dried before the writing picks up again.]

Helios is gone.

I know he's gone because he went over into his room to get something and I followed him to ask him something and he wasn't there anymore.

[there's a few drips of ink, and then they stop. The writing isn't smeared, but blotted as though the journal was shut very quickly.]

[ Sailormoon also knew that feeling. Both Dolls had disappeared on her very much the same way. They were there one moment, then they weren't the next. She could remember both of them very well. The Doll with purple hair had red eyes, just like Sailormoon did, and the other one was very good with crafts, just like she was.

But they were gone too. Somewhere. ]

Go ahead and cry. It makes you feel better.

[ She knew. She'd cried plenty herself. ]

[Cara hates crying; it makes her feel weak, although she wouldn't think that about someone else. But trying not to doesn't seem to be working anyhow. She had that fear for so long after Renae vanished and now it's come to pass.]

Thanks.

[At least having them both there is helping combat that fear she has of being alone. Even if she's not sure they'll be there tomorrow--they are now, and that's what counts. She manages to control herself without having to force herself after a while. Although Bridge now has a large wet spot on his shirt.]

Um... you two want... something to eat, or anything?

[Bridge notices the wetness but doesn't say anything; he can always change his shirt later, after all.]

I can cook! Ah, well, I can't cook much and I can't promise it'll be any good, but I'll try!

[He gives a little nervous laugh, wishing there was some way he could make the pain go away- or even better, stop this from happening to others in the first place.]

Or at the very least, run and get some pork buns if you're hungry... eating them always cheers me up...

I have cookies I made yesterday. They're still fresh and chocolate chip ♥

[ though pork buns did sound really good. She couldn't remember ever having one but she could almost taste the morsel on her tongue. Oh that really did sound good. ]

Pork buns sound good too.

[ she offers Cara a smile ]

[Cara smiles a tiny bit. The fact that they're both there helps with the hurt, if only a little. She's not alone right now, although she can't shake the fear that she will be tomorrow.]

I like the idea of pork buns. We should go get some of those and then have cookies.

[She doesn't want to make Bridge cook and she doesn't feel like doing it herself. So pork buns it is.]
