[fairly]

[Zack is hanging around the shop plaza, doing a little investigating to try and see if there's anything special about the place now. If the supposed portal is going to open there, he's curious to know if there's anything in the area that's changed. You might find him poking at the fountain, circling the sunken well, stopping and crouching down to check the ground beneath the snow sometimes. He's pretty focused on his work, though it probably looks strange.

Bother him?]

To be like Jacob? We don't even know how he arrived there. I'm worried, too... But it's not like we can just lock everyone up and throw away the key.

[It's frustrating to say that, and she shows it by tensing up and frowning to herself.] I just wish we could... talk them out of it, somehow. Or that this portal doesn't show up at all.

I'm not usually a downer, but... I dunno. it's nasty of them to give people hope and then disappoint them. If anything, I hope it does work. [It's safer than the alternatives, at least.]

And then they'd leave...

[wingenvy]

...Yeah, they would. But they'd be safe. [In most cases, anyway. Hopefully.

...not Aerith, though.]

Mm... [There are people who died there, including herself. What if they decide to return? They wouldn't be safe... But she'll try not to bring that up.]

...What do you think we should do, Zack, once the portal vanishes?

[wingenvy]

Not sure I can answer that until we know what happens to the people who go through it. If it's just a lousy joke and they end up fine, there's nothing to do. But if they never come back...

[He trails off, obviously unsure.]

...I dunno.
