Mika....Bring him back, you damned Porter! Or take me home to him!

[Yup. Someone is decidedly unhappy about the Porter returning his best friend. And isn't exactly in the most logical state to acknowledge right now that it isn't under anyone's control and he can't just make such demands, such appeals to the entity inside the thing.]

I don't care how guarded it is. I want to go. If I can take vampires, I'll figure these guys easily enough. If there's a way to bring us here and take us back, there's got to be some way to figure doing this on purpose. And I want to find out.

[By being the reckless idiot he is. It's a shounen requirement, okay? But also. Well. Yuu has never taken loss or potential loss of his family well. So his reaction to Mikaela being Ported back home is probably not much of a surprise.]

Tell me what you know.

He's gone for the moment, that much isn't in dispute. But it isn't a guarantee that he's gone for good.

And even if he is, many of us have people in our lives we never thought we'd have to live here without. Until the time came when we didn't have a choice. You may feel sore now, but that feeling will dull, given time.

There's no guarantee though. [For any of them. Mika or any of the others. That's what frustrates Yuu. That uncertainty. And in general being separated again because he was just adjusting to having the other around again and all for a mere few months.]

But...I know I'm not the only one. I'm just -- I'm sick of it. Something always happens to separate the two of us.

There no guarantee for anything, whether here or elsewhere. Sometimes circumstances are beyond our control, and the best we can do is survive them.

We can rage in vain all we like, but no matter how sick we are, it won't change anything.

I'm used to things being out of my control, back home too. That's why I hate it.

[Which doesn't begin to go into the reasoning. But even so. It might sort of help explain his side of things here.]

I promised myself I'd save him. That I'd help him. I can't do that stuck here.

He'll keep. Everything does while we're here. We return as if we were never here at all, so anything he might need saving from won't change while you're parted from your world.

[ Someone more nihilistic might think that means that whatever happens here doesn't matter, but she's been here too long to think that. Everything they do matters to here, just not on their source worlds. ]

Hating that you lack control won't give you any power to change it. We're better making the best of the lives we have, while we have them.

I was...I was managing okay before he showed up. I guess I have no choice but to keep doing that now too. [He sighs, running a hand through his mop of hair as he pouts, even as he listens and can tell where she's coming from with this.]

I miss him. We were...finally figuring things out and all, after being separated back home.

That's how she works, her timing is impeccable. Just when you've come out the other side of the problems that seemed insurmountable, the curtain is drawn. You never have the chance to enjoy the happy ending you've worked so hard for.

Perhaps she just grows bored of us after the conflict is resolved.

So you think she gets bored so she messes with us by sending us back or our friends back? Tch. Mika's family. Everyone has family, right?

[He's...not as sure what the story with the Porter, this Lachesis is. But even so.]

Perhaps everyone has family, but not all of them will have it here.

[ Well, her point might be a little muddled there. She had family here, once. ]

I don't know that she necessarily sends anyone back just to cause drama for those left behind. I think that might only be incidental. I think she sends those back who she can no longer gain any entertainment from.

However "messed with" we feel in their absence is all at our own discretion.

Entertainment....so we're like puppets, performers to her? Tch.

[He's aware some are alone, with nobody else from home around. It just hurts, to think about. To go back to that again when he had Mika here with him for a while.]

That's my best guess. She's called us "heroes", but I think it's really only in the literary sense. We go about living our stories, and she sits back with the popcorn.

At least she gets entertainment out of messing with us.
