 [Sola appears on the screen, face puffy and expression desolate. His eyes don't meet the camera as he speaks, low and halting.]

I just wanted to say, I'm really sorry for hurting anyone...

[He rubs his eyes with the back of his hand, sniffling a bit before continuing.]

You won't have to worry about me anymore. I-I won't bother anybody, so... just... forget me. It's better that way.

Zelda, especially, I-I'm sorry I'm not...

[He swallows hard, turning a little further away from the camera.]

I'm sorry I'm not him. I hope he finds you, and that you can be happy. I-I promise, he... he loves you very much.

[He sits there, back to the camera, for an interminable moment, sorrow plain in the hunch of his shoulders. With a small swallow, he turns off the feed.]

[There's a note of hesitation in Sola's reply.]

Um... is it okay if it waits a little bit? I don't...

[A long pause, Sola trying to find the right words.]

I don't feel like being around anyone right now, really. I'll still go help if you really need it though, I wouldn't leave you hanging.

It's weird. I feel like I want to be around people, but... don't, too, at the same time. [He sighs.] Maybe if I was like everyone else I'd understand better.
