Fifth Crash [Voice/Action]

[VOICE]
I thought I should let all of you know. Noelle's disappeared.

But I don't think it was a kidnapping. At least, I haven't found any signs. It's just that she and her things have turned up missing. And anyway, if she were around, she'd probably tell us not to worry about her.

[ACTION]
[Your friendly neighborhood pilot can be found sitting outside Community Housing Building 4 with a writing pad on his knee, pencil idly tapping a heavily scribbled page. He seems to be judging the distance between his window and the nearest tree. This can't be good.]

[Ion looks a rather taken aback at his sudden comments, but not for the reason Ginji might think. Ion usually wasn't the one on the receiving end of arguments like that. Whether that had more to do with who he chose to talk to in regards to his feelings about being a replica or simply how carefully he usually phrased things, he wasn't sure. Either way, it's enough to render him speechless for a few moments.]

[His life was his own... he knew that already, didn't he? For all their similarities, both appearance and otherwise, he would always be a different person from his original. He has the freedom -- perhaps even more so in Luceti than he ever did on Auldrant -- to live his life however he chooses, in whatever way that makes him happy. Focusing on the "what-if's" wouldn't solve anything. It was something he thought he knew well...]

[But it doesn't hurt to be reminded every once in awhile. There are people here who care about him. And he has people here he can live for. If he hadn't been born... why, there's no real reason to even bother thinking about such a thing. Regardless of what it might mean for the future, you can't change the past. And selfish though it may be in regards to Sync, Ion wouldn't want to.]
