oo24 [ voice // action for housemates ]
[ Xion sits down to make this post in her room, quietly unhappy about it, but knowing she has to persevere. He wouldn't want her to be sad, she knows it.
She'll have to find a new teacher.
But Xion finds she just can't sit still, and rises, speaking as she moves down the hall. ]
For anyone who knew him... Longshot has...
[ then she notices something. Sora's door is slightly ajar, and the inside of the room...
as if entranced, Xion slows, then moves towards it, giving a gentle push. ]
Gone ...
[ it's empty. the room is empty, completely bare of any sign that Sora was ever there. ]
... home.
[ and that's it. Xion has lowered her journal, giving an upside-down view of the wall through the journal's camera as she stares at this empty room.
it takes a moment -- a long, numb, endlessly empty moment that may go on for two or even three minutes -- for Xion to sink to her knees. only then does she finally, slightly, come back to her senses. she adds her final statement in a voice that, while even, is just barely above a whisper. ]
And ... and Sora ... Sora has also ... gone home.
[ if heartbreak had a sound, it would sound like her voice. for anyone who replies to her over the journals, it will be some time before she responds. housemates will likely get to her first. ]

Sora's really gone.
There's a few more seconds of silence before the sound of the bottom of Axel's boot kicking the dresser is heard. Hard enough to force it back against the wall and probably leave a mark.
Stupid Sora. Stupid emotions he made Axel feel when he shouldn't. Stupid—]
Sora.
[Axel finally turns to look down at Xion now. When he speaks his voice sounds so betrayed.]
He'll be back.
[action]
it's only when he turns to face her, having said Sora's name aloud, that she lifts her head and looks up. the tone in his voice is mirrored in her eyes -- for a moment, before she narrows them slightly in pain and sadness and looks away. ]
Like Riku?
[ without any real inflection, though it is, perhaps, a little unkind. ]
[action]
[Axel wasn't even sure. It was hard to say what the Malnosso were going to do, today alone proved that what with the sudden appearance of Ventus and now this.
...the house seemed a little dim already.
He rubbed the back of his neck and gave one last glance around Sora's room.]
C'mon. Can you stand?
[action]
Sometimes, I still really hate it here.
[action]
Man, you and me both. 'Least I don't think today can get any worse.
[action]
Don't say that, you'll jinx it...
[ still, she moves out of the doorway and into the hall, though once there seems pretty aimless. she looks back at him with an expression that says "what now?" ]
[action]
He'll be okay. He's Sora. You guys gotta hang in there for him.
