Mio amore...

[Giovanni appears reaching out to someone off screen--or not there at all. He's smiling faintly, sadly, his expression pained as much as loving.]

This is not a place for you. Perché, perché. Why do you have to be here. I would not wish this upon you. [He falters and his arm drops.] Maria... I love you, but I wish you were not here...

[For a long time nothing happens. Then the device seems to be noticed and, violently, a hand comes down on it; the device shuts off with a bit of static.]

...Yorda? I--

[sing-nonomori.livejournal.com]

...Do not trust it.

[betrayedblade.livejournal.com]

It is not them, Giovanni.

It show you them, because they are thing you love. It will make you hurt, it will make you empty. It is not them.

[betrayedblade.livejournal.com]

...I am already empty here without them...

[sing-nonomori.livejournal.com]

You are not empty! I am knowing what empty is! Empty is when you know nothing, when you are nothing, when you feel nothing! You are Giovanni, you feel sadness, you feel pain, you feel loss, but you are not empty! Do not let it make you empty, it is bad thing, thing no person should ever know. You are human, you have such wonderful thing, you can choose.

Please


...please do not let it take you...

[betrayedblade.livejournal.com]

...take me?

What are you talking about Yorda. I'm not going anywhere.

[sing-nonomori.livejournal.com]

It will swallow you.

Giovanni, you know it is showing you a lie! Do not believe it, I know it hurt... I am sorry. I am sorry it is not real. But do not be tricked.

[betrayedblade.livejournal.com]

I cannot-- I cannot so easily do what you ask of me.

[sing-nonomori.livejournal.com]

I know.

It want your life. It want it so much. So it show you the people you will give life for. But it is not them. Just a lie.

[betrayedblade.livejournal.com]

Then I will be lied to for a little longer...

[not-riku-thx.livejournal.com]

Listen to her! Yorda knows what's real. Trust in her!

[betrayedblade.livejournal.com]

I don't know...if I can do that, Prydain.

[not-riku-thx.livejournal.com]

Something's wrong with the light, with the noise, trust her.

[betrayedblade.livejournal.com]

Light? [...] I do not understand.


I just want... her.

[not-riku-thx.livejournal.com]

Your special someone?

[betrayedblade.livejournal.com]

Yes.

[not-riku-thx.livejournal.com]

I'm sorry. I'm sorry, it's....It's not easy to hear that something you want to be real isn't....

[betrayedblade.livejournal.com]

But she is real... Why not here. Even if...it is not what I want. To see my loved ones here--there are so many others suffering that I would gladly give my life to send home, why not her!!

[not-riku-thx.livejournal.com]

At home.

[betrayedblade.livejournal.com]

Why so impossible for her to be here?

[not-riku-thx.livejournal.com]

Because...you're not the only one seeing people, places that don't belong here. Something's wrong.

[betrayedblade.livejournal.com]

I can't...accept that. Even if it is the truth...

[not-riku-thx.livejournal.com]

Then...enjoy the memories, if they're good ones.
