[Guess who's back to his old grumpy Lombax self? You'd think he'd be a little more relieved than he looked right then and there, auburn eyes narrowed and ears folded back threateningly.]

I want a status report of one Nunnally Vi Britannia. Several attempts to contact her SFC have gone unanswered, and with what happened in this recent curse...

[He cuts off, glancing off to the side and muttering something foul in Lombaxian.]

And I don't want to hear she's 'vanished'. I want solid, viable proof.

She's not gone. Nobody is simply gone.

[Well, she could... or she could give a hint of some sort.]

"-in this place, it would seem as though time is even more of a fickle concept."

[The last words she'd sent to him over the network; she recalls that conversation well.]

Ones time could be extended indefinitely, or halted for what may seem to those who are mortal to be an eternity. The time for departure is always at hand. Whether it be by the decisions of this realm, or by other means...

Are you another who's just going to be a puppet of fate? Do you truly believe that it's impossible for us to craft our own destiny?

I chose my own, and Nunnally can choose hers. Time has no power over any of us.

No, I'm afraid you misunderstand...

[The smirk becomes a little more clear as they speak, the voice most definitely female. Other than that-]

Hmhmhm... Time is a friend, granting opportunity to live and spend our existences with those we come to cherish. However short the path may be.

This Nunnally's time here seems to have run its course for now. It is a common occurrence here. After all, I too have seen two from my own world vanish from this place...

'Time' is a foul thing, granting us the gift of life just to have it taken away in an instant. There had been a time where I'd believed the same as you... though....

I'm going to find her.

[What a petulant child... He could not accept the truth much like so many others in the many worlds that make up the multiverse. The figure shakes their head, the silhouette visible. This second tale she would be sharing was... indeed quite personal.]

There was once someone I knew who believed similarly. Do you know what he found at the end of his searching?

[And now, it's the General's turn to look morose, bowing his head and speaking his next words very very quietly.]

I don't care. I won't fail anyone else. I won't.

[Regardless of what those children may say about her, she truly did care for humanity and its desires. Perhaps in this world, it expanded to other races as well. After all, it matters not who you are. Death awaits all beings...

Thus the side of here so few ever see is exposed.]

If they have indeed returned home, it may well be for the best. You have not failed them, nor have they failed you. Rather, it is this world that has seen fit to send one soul to where it belongs.

But what if it's not home? Not a single soul here has been able to truly confirm it, and if she's still out there, suffering...

That is never for the best.

Have you met with anyone who has indeed returned to the world they belong?

If I did, don't you think I would have been able to contact her by now? Or at least have some idea of her whereabouts?

Contact between worlds is disrupted, then... Perhaps you should seek the truth from those who've returned.

I'm not getting a straight answer!

Then perhaps you have not asked the right foreigners.

[Do not get snippy with her, young man. You do not want this woman's wrath brought down upon you.]

If you know where to start, you will tell me.

That you must discover on your own, child.

[And here she is, being the adult and hanging up now. Do hope you have not been cursed by a god...]
