026 + FOR EVERYONE WHO HAS BEEN BORN OF GOD OVERCOMES THE WORLD [video]

[trenchcoatedly]

[For once, Castiel is actually in his room. He's sitting on the bed. The wall behind him is scrawled with sigils (not counting the gentleman in the suit). He takes a deep breath, steadying himself.]]

It is my great honor to announce that Richie Gecko has graduated. He's returned to Mexico and will be waiting for his brother there.

I, too, will be departing soon. I owe my vessel his freedom, as I promised, and my friends in my universe may need my help. I can't say when I'll be departing, but it will be soon. Afterwards, I will no longer possess a physical form. If you need help or aid, you can call for me, however, and I will help you as much as I can. It make take me a few moments to locate you in the multiverse, but I will come.

I should be in the greenhouse if anyone would like to resolve any old conflicts with me.

[LOCKED to ANYA]
Is it too late to apologize for my conduct?

[ Doyle's eyes are looking over the symbols on the wall in the background before he spoke.]

Richie's a free man huh? Well I suppose I should save congrads and I hope you'll be safe back home. Best wishes Castiel.

[je_suis_avec_toi]

[This is a grave face, but she's not crying.]

Fare thee well then. You will be missed.

I am truly grateful for all you've done for me.

Adieu, mon ami.

[impure_tale]

More's the pity.

[most_feared]

Take care of yourself. Even without a body.

[He's not going to respond. He's not. He doesn't owe anything, they're not friends, he didn't appreciate the gifts, he certainly won't miss having Castiel's presence around in the greenhouse.]

Goodbye.

[There's a lot she could say to that, but all she replies with is:] Congratulations.

[surrenders]

Congratulations. [She wants to offer an apology for going behind his back all the time, but not this second. She doesn't know if she's ready yet, or if he's ready for it.]

[syouko]

[This is the first notification she's yet heard about someone leaving via graduation. She still isn't sure about the account Arkady gave her, but the weird religious guy wouldn't lie to her on purpose, right?]

What did he do?

[scarlet_discord]

[It honestly takes her a while to reply. Every time someone who came her crueler or crazier than her gets out before she does it causes jealousy. She found someone to talk that out with before contacting Castiel.]

Hey, congratulations.

Look, uh...can we talk before you go? I just want to clear the air. I sort of figured something out.

[nolongerhollow]

Success then! Ah, but you are leaving us. Good things do come to an end eventually, I suppose.

You have my thanks, and you will be in my thoughts. When we meet again I hope to have started building a new reputation for myself.

[Normally, Anya would hold a conversation this emotionally fraught through text. But if he wants to do this, she's going to make him look her in the eye, so video it is. When she answers, her voice is a quiet, precise murmur, contained.]

I can't stop you, now can I?
