Dark Waters
The sea has never failed us before now. We used to seek its waters for solace in everything, for comfort, for enjoyment. We will not lie and say it has not earned us condescension from some, but they simply do not understand the true beauty the sea holds. The power to comfort, to inspire, to encourage and soothe.
But when we look out at the waters of the vast sea now, why does it not help? When we look out to see the waves, instead, we only see the faces of those who are missing. It defies our understanding. We weren't even particularly close to them, so why should their absence affect us so?
Perhaps it is simply by association... the rest of the Guild is sad and unhappy about their disappearance, so we are too. We are all like the sea. The sea is not split up into sections or segments. It is simply one whole, and when something affects one area, the sea changes as a whole.
We did not know Team Calliope well, but they are a part of the sea, and their absence affects us as much as everyone else. We are not a near part of the sea, so the effect is smaller, and slower, but it is there, undeniably.
Even when it doesn't provide comfort, the sea still provides understanding.
Another one of the not-so-easy characters to write for... So I waxed metophorical.
