floatsaway[It's early, a little before sunrise, actually - the usual time Ochako goes out running on the beach. It'd been bothering her a while now, but with everything happening over the past few weeks...she'd been nervous to seek the truth. It was Momo's recent return that really tipped the scales, and Ochako took the plunge. She searches a name, in her contacts, but it doesn't appear on the network. Different variations - his hero name, his first name...last name...the order she's used to - surname first, then given name.
Nothing.
Nothing at all.
To be honest, Ochako half expected this after the first few attempts, and after everything the previous few weeks, she can't even feel sad. She can't even feel anything. Can't feel anything other than numb all over. Her voice is small, quiet - it's still early for a lot of people, after all - and sounds so hollow and distant. Maybe a little robotic, even.]
...Wh-When...when someone's name disappears from the network. [A pause, to swallow. To exhale.] It means that person is gone, right? They went h--...back. Back to where they belong. Their world.
Right?
[That's how it works, isn't it? Ochako vaguely remembers, and it's not that she needs the confirmation or anything, she just...
Just what? Not like anyone can do anything about it one way or another. She waits, in silence, only a minute or two, before picking up her communicator and putting it in her bag, then heading to the beach. But she doesn't run. She simply sits in the sand and watches the waves slowly roll in as the tide shifts and water begins to lap at her toes.
It's cold.]
