[If there was one thing Ion was thankful for, it was that at least he had a chance to see Florian one more time after everything returned to normal. It was just as it was every time someone went home -- there was nothing different in how they acted before it happened, nor was there seemingly any special significance to the last time they'd meet. One minute they'd be there, and the next they weren't. And as always, Ion never fully believed it until he saw the near-empty room for himself.]

[It was a sad task, informing the rest of the household so soon after things were shaken up to such a terrifying degree... but it needed to be done. It seemed as though not even having their lives turned about and thrown upside down could stop life from moving on in Luceti. The only thing left was to inform the village, so that Florian's friends would know what happened to him. And Ion knew it was a task only he could do -- if anyone else gave the announcement and later saw Ion walking around, they might get confused... but more than that, it was important to him.]

I realize everyone is still recovering from everything that's happened over these past few days, so I'll keep this brief. Florian... my brother has returned to Auldrant.

[He didn't need some twisted mind control making his believe they were long lost siblings for him to call Florian his brother. He already saw Florian as the little brother he never had -- and he always would.]

Thank you all for being his friend and making him feel so at home here in Luceti. He left behind a number of drawings... I'm sure he would have liked for his friends to take some of them to remember him by.
