( Another exciting night out on the town brings Mollymauk back into the house at about, say, 8 am? Too early for a man who has yet to sleep, if his current disheveled and half dressed state are any indication. Still, he kicks the door open and trots inside like he owns the place (little does he know, right?), announcing his arrival with a loud: )

I’m home! Hope you didn’t miss me too-- ( He pauses, surprised at first by the stillness of the house, and then by the figure resting on the couch. )

[Said figure is staring at her device, rapidly scrolling up and down the contacts list. Muttering under her breath in a trembling voice,] Gone… Gone, gone… Where are you…

[The movement of Molly’s entrance snaps her out of the strange trance. Satou turns her head, eyes wide and filled with tears. Her mutters stop, giving way to complete silence. And then, a terrible screech.]

THERE’S ONLY YOU! [is this good or bad? It’s hard to tell as a breakdown takes hold.]

( Of all the things he expected in that brief moment, it sure as hell wasn’t a harpy-esque screech. Molly’s phone drops out of his hand in surprise, clattering to the floor to show an upside down shot of the tiefling now holding his head in his hands. Why was he filming this to begin with? Who knows, he’s drunk or high or just too tired to remember. Either way, everyone can hear him shouting back, his own tone confused and slightly alarmed: )

What the hell are you talking about?! ( Then a pause as he looks up again, one eye closed in a wince of pain. ) ...Are you crying?

[Satou barely gives him a chance to speak. Her sobbing has not stopped and only grows louder when questioned.] They’re all gone! Hizashi-san, Toshinori-saanngh, [She covers her face again and screams. That scream translates into “Aizawa” in harpy.]

( Hizashi would be proud of her screeching, were he still here. Molly continues to stare, stepping forward only when Satou’s yelling is more sobs than ear-shattering screams. Another confused “huh” coming out of him as he absently kicks his phone across the room, turning it off when it bounces into the wall. The last thing heard over the network is him simply asking: ) What do you mean they’re all gone--Ugh. ( Then, darkness. )

( ooc: replies can come from either??? maybe??? probably molly mostly. )

[That's too bad. They both seemed like decent sorts, but evidently not very interested in existence. Though Satou and he weren't especially close these days, he feels he ought to say this much. In text; her voice didn't seem quite sound.]

I'm sorry for your loss. If there's aught I can do for you, let me know.

[Satou doesn't reply for at least an hour. Then, after she's calmed down:]

Thank you.

I'm sorry about that unsightly display. I'll be fine.

[Satou continues to wail, barely even noticing the phone. Her throat is beginning to feel raw and her magic is going dark with grief, as evidenced by the glowing black magic that crackles at her feet. The first time she lost someone, Satou masked it. The second time, she started working overtime. But now, with this huge offense, she can't ignore her confused grief.]

Gone! F-from Gehn-nejiii aauugh! [She shakes her head,] I-I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I-I didn't do it on purpose!

( Molly, for all the pain he's currently suffering from such loud noises, picks up on a few things. Namely the hoarseness of her voice and the sparking of strange magics he doesn't quite understand (because he didn't ask). Both make him stop a few feet in front of her, a hand still pressed to his temple like it will ease the throbbing in his head. )

You mean they went back home? ( He's still trying to catch up and it's taking longer than usual, given the circumstances and the fact that Satou's barely speaking English. )

What are you - why are you apologizing? You didn't do it. ( Unless she did. Which would be... weird? ) Just take a deep breath. You're going to make my head explode if you keep this up.

[She's trying! The breathing, anyway. But Satou is so overwhelmed that she is teetering between breathing and hyperventilating. Her emotions are overwhelming. The teen isn't even aware of how all of her past grief, all her built up loneliness, is exploding at once.

But the sight of her magic helps. Satou lowers her hands from her face and exhales. A witch needs to be in control of her feelings, or her magic becomes dangerous. She digs into her training, like a good student should, and goes quiet. Only trembling for a few seconds.]

... They always leave. When I get comfortable, they leave. [Her shoulders sink. Saying it aloud, it sounds so stupid. It's the kind of gloomy nonsense Satou would scold out of someone else. Besides. Crying or screaming about it won't reverse her misfortune. They aren't going to come back to save her.]

Sorry. Let's get something for your headache.

( Yikes. It's way too early in the morning to be dealing with this, he thinks, but for once decides to keep such thoughts to himself. Satou doesn't need that attitude while she's clearly suffering from the loss of their housemates.

Molly seems to be taking it well enough outwardly. He figured people would leave eventually - he had just hoped they might stagger a little instead of vanishing all at once. Thems the breaks though.

He waits for her to stand, or just move in general, before he speaks again. )

If I cried for every person that up and vanished from my life - well, I don't think I'd ever stop. ( He doesn't really believe in weeping over things like that - or weeping in general, really. ) Life is too short to waste on things like that. You have - you have to think about the time you spent with all of them, you know? All the fun you guys had.

None of them would want you to cry. Especially not Toshi - big guy would probably start crying himself.

[Satou got so saddened over this that her face claim changed back.

She listens, her body tensing at his advice. It lines up well with her own, so why not take it? She's survived the misery of losing Bakugou, Sync, her new friends, and now her new family. It's clear to Satou that, based on these past evidences, she can survive heartbreak.

So she nods. After wiping her face ineffectively with her palms, she nods more firmly.]

Mm... I can't make them feel bad for getting home. [With a sigh, she steps towards the kitchen.] You should rest. I'll get you some medicine and bring it to your room.

( Molly moves a hand to rest on top of her head, ruffling her hair gently as they both meander toward the kitchen. )

I can stay up for a little while longer, if you need to talk.

[Allen admits, he didn't really know them all that well even after living in the same building of Fairy Haven for a time. But he still couldn't help but feel something at seeing someone he respected and admired being so upset over people he was sure she was close to leaving.

He held the device in his hands, trying to think of the best words to say and nothing sprung to mind right off the bat. He never really lost people he was really close to, closest was that they never arrived with him or didn't know who he was. But after five minutes he trying his best to think it over he just figured to just try something. Anything.]

I can't even begin to imagine how you must feel. I don't even know how to actually help, but I will at least try and help.

[That sounds like the cries of a ~~damsel~~ Guardian in distress!]

SATOU!?!? ARE YOU OKAY!??! HAS THERE BEEN A KIDNAPPING!?!?!? THAT'S WHAT IT SOUNDS LIKE!!!! AND WHY ISN'T THIS YOUR NUMBER!!!!??? IS IT THE PHONE OF THE ONE KIDNAPPING!!!??? IF IT IS, YOU'D BETTER STOP!!! I'VE GOT BONES AND I'M NOT AFRAID TO USE THEM!!!!

[It's one of those times again, it seems. People are disappearing in mass.] I'm sorry. It's shitty when people get tugged around and forced to leave. Let me know if either of you need anything. [He really feels sick at the idea of Aizawa leaving. He really respected the man, and was happy to have had the chance to learn from him and train with him.]

Such are the whims of fate, no matter what world you're in. ( Molly doesn't sound outwardly upset, thankfully. Though it's always hard to get a read on him regardless. ) Or something like that. We'll be alright.

We got cut down to two in our house. Shit sucks. [He shrugs. He doesn't know how to be comforting.] Anyway. I've got a lotta booze if you decide that you won't be alright.

( molly isn't one for comforting anyway, so it's probably fine. ) I may have to reevaluate my mental and emotional state in that case.

( A joke? Who knows. ) Shouldn't leave Satou alone for long, though. She's kind of out of it.

I can deliver if needed. [Drinking buddies get some priority as far as Ace is concerned.] But I agree, you should stick with her for now.
