[When Luca comes onto the screen, it looks like he's been crying.]

So...um...I just wanted to let everyone know that Varian and Fern are gone. They...probably turned back into squids. Which...I mean, they're still together, so it's fine. They're fine. They're happy out there in the ocean, doing squid things, and really it's not like it's the first time I've realized I'm going to be separated from the people I care about, so...

[After all, when he went to school he was separated from Alberto and his family, expecting to not see them until the summer. Then he ended up here and realized he might very well never see them again. Still, having a feeling of loss strike him like this even in his new life when he's still longing for the people he loves from his previous one to show up...it hits him hard, and he looks like he might start crying again.]

So I'm fine, too.

[This is obviously a lie.]

That's all. I just thought everyone should know.

[He ends the recording right there.]

( For a moment, Frisk thinks back to a friend they had to say good bye to -- and what might have helped them if they had met sooner. )

What about how you're feeling? Or thinking?

[schoolingfish]

well, i'm feeling sad. and lonely. and i'm thinking about how i won't get to go fishing with fern or help varian out in the lab anymore.

[stilljustyou]

It's always lonely to say bye to a friend.

But, it sounds like you have nice memories with them.

[schoolingfish]

yeah, i do.

[stilljustyou]

It could help cheer you up if you thought about that.

And all of the happy memories you can make with your friends that are still here, too.

[schoolingfish]

you're right. i'll try to focus on the memories instead of the fact that they're gone.

and on doing new stuff with my friends that are still here.

thanks.

[stilljustyou]

You're welcome.

I hope it helps you.

[schoolingfish]
