Radley rarely posts, even though he comments a lot to others. When the video comes on, he looks badly shaken and worried.

"I came out this morning and the place was like a ghost town!" he exclaims. "What's going on?! Did almost everyone get sent back at once?!"

And why would he be left behind? He looks frightened, even terrified by the thought. When he speaks again, his voice is quieter but wobbly.

"Please ... someone answer...."

[stitch_witch]

Thank you very much. And my dear, be careful with this information. It would be horrible if you were caught too.

[crystalmaster]

Yeah.

[Radley frowns.]

It wouldn't serve any purpose. Not if it's like last year and there's no way to free them.

[stitch_witch]

Caring is its own purpose.

[crystalmaster]

[Radley smiles a bit.]

That's true. There's more than one way to care, though.... I don't wanna abandon whoever's here.... You, Sonic ... whoever else....

[stitch_witch]

[She smiles warmly at his comment.]

That is very kind of you, Radley.

[crystalmaster]

Well ...

[Radley looks down awkwardly.]

It's logical. I should think about where I can do the most good. Back home I was the closest thing to a leader they had. I had to make tough decisions.

[stitch_witch]

[She smiles and nods.]

I'm happy to allow you to make those for me right now.

[crystalmaster]

[Radley smiles a bit too.]

I'll do my best.

[And hopefully he'll get it right this time. He still blames himself for the town falling apart back home.]

[stitch_witch]

[Once she finishes her tea she smiles and packs up.]

I trust you. And if you need me, let me know.

[crystalmaster]

[Radley smiles too.]

Thanks. I will.

[It was good to have help.]

[She offers and nod and with that slips out of the diner. She could really stand to get a nap.]
