[We have to see what kind of soccer they play, right? And you too.
if someone had reached out and pierced right through her gem, it couldn't possibly inflict any more pain than Sakuma's words at this moment. she can't even pinpoint the cause immediately - and she certainly can't respond, even with text.
it's good, in every way that matters. they'd lost a world, just as much as Lapis had, but there was still another waiting for them to step into. Gran and Ulvide still had a place - still had friends - to sweep away the pangs of homesickness, and for that she is infinitely grateful.
at the same time...this was a 'world' now closed to her forever. Gran had wanted to open it for her out of the goodness of a friendship she'd never really deserved, but the Porter had snatched him away before she could ever take that outstretched hand.
she doesn't know why it hurts so terribly. the only true place for her in any world was the bottom of the sea.]
That's good. It's important to belong somewhere.
[if Lapis were a more naturally considerate person, she might worry that Sakuma's assumed this conversation closed from how long it takes her to say anything. as it is, she considers it a minor victory that she can pull her mind back enough to type out anything at all.]
