[at the question, he smiles -- a little wry,]

...It's not getting any easier, but I'm still hanging in there.

I'll miss Mari. Tomi too. But I'm not feeling the loss as much as the others.

[cumulative]

Mm. It's... easier than it was last week, for me.

[he admits quietly, with a slight shake of his head.]

We weren't especially close, though of course I'll still miss them, too... and it's difficult to see how much it hurts Rondo, to have lost her.

He was with us when we found her.

[at that, he looks briefly surprised, and then concerned]

...How bad is he?

[cumulative]

Very.

...he said they've never spent a Thursday night apart, until what happened last night. I've never seen him so...

[so broken by this.]

[bookpapers]

[he runs a hand through his hair, looking worried.]

...I should look for him too. I didn't realize they were so close.

[cumulative]

Neither did I... he's spoken of her fondly, but I had no idea.

[he's pretty worried, too.]

I stayed with him a little while after we found her, but tomorrow is going to be hard for him, I think.

[...he's worried and wary, because it was one thing when Rondo had lost close friends last week, but to endure another week of the same?

grief is dangerous. he's seen stronger people fracture from it in so many different ways,]

We'll just have to do what we can. Help find the person responsible. We've got Tomi to worry about too.

[cumulative]

Right. It's just... the same as always.

[he hates that it's just their usual now, but what can they do.]

Only two. We'll be all right.
