[When the feed comes on, Eve isn't looking at the communicator. She had her head bowed, her bangs now long enough to obscure her eyes.]

Keroro's things are gone. [She should be happy, right? That he's home with his friends. But somehow...

Somehow, she felt like it would be better if he was still here.

She reaches out to cut off the feed, and those who were watching carefully may notice how her eyes were wet when she did.]

[It takes a while before Eve comes to the door and opens it only enough to look out.

Her grip on the door is tight and she's trying her best to not look as lost as she feels.]

Eve- [Saya starts, but looking at the other... well, it's hard. Saya can't even think of what she'd do if Sendo left.]

Hello. [she speaks softly, rising her hand to touche Eve's shoulder gently]

[She bit her lip for a moment before replying haltingly.]

...hello.

[she can't help but to shake her head a bit] I'm really sorry.

[She looks down.]

I should be happy for him...because he's home.

[But she isn't. She can't be for some reason even though she keeps telling herself she should be.]

It doesn't mean it doesn't hurt that he is gone, though. [and it was fine to be sad for that]

...is it normal, to be hurting even if you should be happy for someone?
