[Sollux was more then worried when he woke up this morning. He had a sinking feeling in his stomach when he started to look around his destroyed house, not seeing any others around. The feeling grew worse when he went over to the tree that he had his lusus chained to. The tree was still there, though it was more like a burnt up stump then a tree, but there was no trace of his lusus. It was as if he had just... disappeared.
He kneels next to the spot where his lusus used to be and sighs, worried about where his lusus was or if he was even still alive.]
He doesn't deserve this shit. But no one does. No one at all. I just...I wish there was more I could do just to -- to keep this shit from happening at all. If I...if I became Empress, I was going to unite everyone and try to make everyone happy. It hurts, knowing it isn't possible.
[She puts a hand on his shoulder.]
I am sure he's still keeping an eye on you...
