[Hymn #47] [Movement] ~One Who Would Seize Glory~

[nightcrossed]

[For all technical purposes, Tear has made herself scarce. She is taking the rest of the week off from work and has informed no one about it save the manager. That doesn't mean she's impossible to find, however. Rather predictably she is sitting near her flower garden at the Hakurei Shrine, rolling an apple between her palms that she snagged from breakfast this morning and hasn't taken the first bite of. There's a lot for her to mull over, and she can't do that unless she has some time to herself. Auldrant has never seemed so far away, but she has no idea where to go from here, and she still has so very many unanswered questions.]

Van...

[OOC: Cherry's mean, but I need to get some of this heavy crap out of the way at some point. 1% on Absorption Gate, mainly concerned with dialogue; the battle itself; and Van, like all good Disney villains, falling to his "demise". AND THAT VAN SRSLY PLAYS HIS OWN BGM ON THE ORGAN. We'll worry about the other cast members and all the technical Sephiroth (not that Sephiroth) stuff at another time, so assume she doesn't know anything about lowering the land or where the heck all this drama is taking place. That makes 12% with 2% left. She'll go back to work next Monday.]

*we have no idea why Tear is spilling her guts*

One of them.
But he's an idiot. But we don't always get along. He listens, yet I don't imagine he takes a word of it seriously.

Remember what I said about my brother? He may be gone now, but there's still the possibility that he's already planted seeds within other people. This "friend" is the person I'm most concerned about. Back when we were fighting Van, Van refused to acknowledge him. Even so, it was as if this person was pleading with Van to tell him the reason for his own existence. He doesn't seem to accept that my brother's capable of doing terrible things because he believes that Van's the person who understands him the most.

However, it's not just about my own goals. From what I remember, it seems like we traveled together for a considerable amount of time. At one point, this person was someone I had faith in. I can't say I feel that way right now, but it's not something I wish to completely ignore. And besides, this person has a lot of monsters that he'll have to face; I'm not sure he can do that all by himself. I'm not even certain I could do it.

[It sure didn't seem like she was talking to "Raven" anymore. Her voice trailed off, and it was obvious she was withholding information. Well, you couldn't expect Tear to explain everything clearly.]

As for the other person, I do know that my brother had an interest in keeping his plans a secret from him, but not much else...
