5th Gear - Video

[Asami has waited a few days to post this, gotten through the initial emotional shock of it. Yes, Korra is fine, and she knows that. But she's not here, anymore. And if what she's heard about going home is true, she won't remember anything about being here.

When the video turns on, she looks a little weathered. Definitely tired, as she rests against the side of a giant Arcanine. She didn't cry this morning, that's a start.]

Korra's gone home.

[Asami pauses. She hasn't really thought out the post any further than that. Taking about this is more difficult than just stewing and processing.]

Just... thought her friends would like to know. If you ended up with any of her Pokémon, could you tell me? I'd just like to know, that's all.

I don't think much will even change, once we've forgotten everything for good.

[Even voicing it is difficult, though.]

But thinking about it right now is the scary part.

[bylight]

It will always be scary. There is really no way to accept it, either. All you can do is learn to cope with those feelings. It sounds like a bad thing, but in the long run it's much healthier to cope.

[She gives her a faint smile.]

If you keep hoping and are willing to defy what fate you think is controlling you, you can make miracles happen.

[paishodown]

I don't know if pure willpower can just overcome something we don't even understand, but it's a comforting thing to think about, I guess.

[bylight]

Just... don't push your friends away. Alright? Korra wouldn't want that, and it's easier to heal with others there to support you.

[paishodown]

I don't think you have to worry too much about that.

[She's had more than enough "away from friends" time to never want to push them away.]

[bylight]

Good.

[She feels that this conversation probably has lasted a lot longer than expected. Light's surprised that this wasn't like the horrible intro they had with each other last time. Maybe because Korra was the subject.]

I should let you go.

[Would it be okay to say 'see you around'?]

[paishodown]

Thanks for talking.

[Really.]

[bylight]

Anytime.

[And thus ends their conversation with the screen turning off.]
