"Hey Blake. Just wanted to check in on you. I'm guessing you heard the news?"
"It's just… I knew it was happening. It's just… It still hurts, y'know?"
The Doctor sighed, "Well, there's no use in moping around about it. There's always hope."
"It sure doesn't feel like it." She muttered.
"Look. I know that not every story gets the ending that the people who made it wanted, but… Can you at least say you went out on a good note, right?"
"That's the sad thing. I wish I knew how it all ends." Blake cried, "I know my company wasn't perfect. But still! I just… I don't want it to go."
"Someone will pick up your story, I'm sure." The Doctor replied, "Your world has touched a lot of people. I doubt that your fans, the people behind your series, all of them… I doubt that they'll let you be forgotten so easily."
"You're right." Blake sniffed, "If the people who started it were here, they'd tell us to carry on. Keep moving forward."
"Time mends all hearts." The Doctor said, "Now come on. What do you say we go on an adventure? Help take your mind off of it?"
"You're really asking me to be one of your companions?" Blake laughed.
"Why not?" The Doctor asked, "It's a big universe out there. It's worth looking at. To see the sights!"
"Fantastic adventures with The Doctor." Blake mused, "Sounds like something out of a fanfic. Sure, why not?"
"Alright then. Allons-y!"
"It just… Doesn't feel real." Broly said somberly.
"Your creator and mine were good friends. I can't say I know what it feels like to lose someone like that, but… I think it's like losing an uncle for me." Sanji said as he placed a comforting hand on Broly.
"It hurts. But I think that it's not about them leaving, but it's about what they left behind." Silver Surfer offered, "It was a shock when the world found out Stan Lee passed, but I believe that they would not wish for us to spend our days mourning, but rather celebrating the legacy they left behind."
"Is that really what it feels like?" Broly asked.
"It's one of the things that makes life meaningful. The fact that it doesn't last." Silver Surfer said, "We just continue the passion that he had."
"Look at it this way, we're alive because of him. People were alive while he was, and some peoples' lives were saved because of him." Trunks said, "I can't think of a better legacy to leave behind than that."
"Still-"
"- Broly. You want to know what he said once? At the end of the original manga, he said to tackle each day with the same energy as Goku." Trunks said, "I think I'll follow his advice."
"This hurt doesn't really go away, but the more connections we make, that hurt will still be there. But it'll feel smaller. It'll be more bearable. Because we'll have each other to lean on and cherish." Silver Surfer said, "It's important to mourn the loss of someone who left behind such an impact, but we should also cherish the memories that he gave us as well."
"Thank you." Broly said, "That makes things feel a little less harsh."
Discord: Well… Not much else can be said other than that. See you on the next adventure!
