[The graveyards are full of indispensable men]

[People of the building should be used to Elisa being inside of the infirmary by now. The young doctor has declared herself to be in charge of the 4th floor infirmary quite some time ago, and has spent a majority of her days tending to it ever since.]

[Only, should you walk into the infirmary today, you will not find the teenage medic scurrying across the medical room in her usual chipper fashion. No; instead, you will find the young woman sprawled out on the floor- very much dead. Cause of death appears to be from two large cuts to each of her wrists. Observant ones may note that, nearby, there is a bloody scalpel laying next to her completely pale body. Blood has stained much of her white labcoat red as it pools around her dainty figure.]

[The cause of this mysterious death is currently unknown; there are no real signs of struggle in the room either. Just one very dead teenager.]

((OOC: Dead Elisa is dead. Not even her ghost lingers about in the area. She's just... gone, and could remain that way for a long time. Because of this, any comments made will likely not be responded to by me, but by

stoicism , who should be in the area as well.))

((An explanation of this death will be given when/if I come back. But for now- bye, FM! <3))

[It was hardly an uncommon thing for the boy to find himself in one of the Nexus infirmaries throughout the day. Null would often raid the medical supplies to replenish his own pack in addition to checking in on Elisa and reporting his status. His boots click along the floor in a calculated stride as he enters the room, steps faltering as he stands before the gruesome sight.]

[Though he gazes down at the corpse of the woman on the floor, his expression remains unchanged; seemingly unaffected by the scene. He isn't a stranger to death. All his life he's been surrounded by it, being both the bearer of it and witnessed his own comrades fall to its hand. Elisa, his doctor, splayed across the floor in a pool of her own blood has now joined them, the thousands of corpses that have been etched in his mind. His eyes move along the floor and to the nearby scalpel; this would be what had taken the doctor's life.]

[He picks the scalpel up, gripping it in his hand as he examines the blood along the small blade. A simple and effective tool, sharp and capable of cutting many things, not merely flesh. The scalpel was Elisa's machete. The blood spattered across the metal is Elisa's blood; remnants of her essence and lifeforce which now remains spilled across a once pristine floor.]

[He feels no sadness now, nor anger or hurt. He moves closer to Elisa's body, laying down on the floor next to her. The scent of blood is heavy as it lingers about the doctor's corpse but it has no effect on the young soldier. He feels numb; a hollow feeling working itself though him, ultimately gathering in his chest. He doesn't want to decipher what he should be feeling at this moment; he just wants to lay here and remain by Elisa's side a moment longer.]

[Rose had just been walking by the infirmary when she caught the sight of the two bodies on the floor. With a startled gasp she took a step into the room.]

Elisa! Null!

[At first she had thought that both were dead, laying in the pool of blood like that, but it didn't take long to notice that Null was awake. Elisa, on the other hand... there was little doubt that the girl was still alive.]

Null? What happened?

[Null slowly turned his head to look up at Rose, not lifting it from its place on the floor. Elisa's blood has seeped into his hair and stained one side of his face, the lower-half protected by the mask over his face. There is still nothing readable in his expression, his eyes remaining hard and stoic.]

[Yet he says not a word, he just watches Rose.]

[She just watches him back carefully. There was no change to his eyes, he looked at her with the same hard gaze he did when he was at her office but... she knew it couldn't be easy. Whether he claimed to have no emotions or not, nobody could just see someone they cared about like this and feel nothing.]

Are you hurt?

[With so much blood, she couldn't be completely certain that Null was uninjured.]

No.

[His words come quickly and without hesitation, moving in closer to Elisa. He turns his head away, his eyes moving off of Rose and focusing on an adjacent wall.]

Do you know how this happened?

[She moves close, but carefully and slowly. She doesn't want to aggravate the boy but she can't just leave him alone like this. And she cared about what had happened to Elisa. The girl had been someone she found she enjoyed talking to and seeing her dead like this... Rose felt bad for not making an effort to talk to her more.]

...We shouldn't leave her just lying out like this.

[Null moves faster than Rose would expect; moving away from the therapist and to Elisa's opposite side, keeping a few feet of distance between them. He lays down again, his head resting on Elisa's arm. He's similar to a dog, one incapable of leaving his vigil next to his owner.]

This is how I found her when I entered.

[She crouches down on the other side of Elisa, looking down at her with a pained expression.]

Poor thing...

[She wondered just what could have happened. There didn't seem to be a struggle, and the nature of the wounds could be self-inflicted... she couldn't believe Elisa would do this to herself.]

Don't touch her.

[Null's words come with a surprising amount of force behind them; a demand moreso than a request.]

[Her looked at null in surprise at the demand, the surprised look in her eyes quickly softening.]

It's alright. I wouldn't hurt Elisa.

[But she didn't make any move to touch her.]

I won't touch her if you don't want me to.

There is no reason to move her. She will remain where she is until the Nexus decides she must go.

For now... I wish to remain by her side.

[She nodded. She really didn't think it was good to just leave her out like that but... she supposed he had a point, and if that's what Null wanted.]

Are you going to be alright?

[Nyu had spent most of her day baking, and had ended up with more cookies than her already large house hold could eat. So she decided she'd share the extras with her friends. She hadn't made an attempt to see them in such a long time after all. Especially that nice blond human.]

[She Cheerfully stomped down the hallway until she reach the infirmary where she would have been staying and entered the room. Immediately she knew something was not right. She spotted the young girl sprawled out on the floor in a pool of blood.]

[Nyu dropped the container and it crashed against the floor. Breaking open and mixing the sweets with the blood.]

[Nyu was naive, but not stupid. She knew that if she called out the young doctor would not respond. Her friend was broken, and couldn't be fixed.]

[She slowly wandered closer to the body and crouched, looking for exactly what broke her young friend.]

[Null had taken to lingering nearby, obscured from visitors sight beneath one of the infirmary beds. Upon seeing someone enter the room, the boy's body bristled and tensed up. The tray crashing to the ground serves to make him narrow his eyes, holding his breath as he lays in wait.]

[As Nyu began to crawl closer to Elisa, that was it. Null tore out from his hiding place and threw himself at the doctor's body; gritting his teeth as he glared at the intruder.]

[Nyu stopped in place although she hardly felt threatened by the young boy. Of course she didn't even feel threatened by most grown men.]

[She stopped so that she could think more clearly, who was this boy? Did he break the young doctor? If he didn't, then why was he here? He could be broken by the enemy as well? Or did the young doctor break herself? Nyu had seen humans do that before on the battle field..]

[She furrowed her eyebrows in confusion. This was confusing to the point that she was becoming stressed, and upset.]

Broken, she's broken. Who broke her?

[Gripping Elisa's pale and lifeless body tightly beneath his hands, he pulls the doctor's corpse closer to himself; eyes still locked on Nyu.]

...I do not know.

...What...happened?!

[He stops in his tracks when he sees his Son's girlfriend, the sweet girl that helped treat him when he had a cold, dead.]

[Null remains lingering near Elisa's body, seated as he casts his gaze down, playing idly with the scalpel in his hands. He doesn't meet the older man's eye, too fixated on the doctor's corpse. The woman's blood is smeared in his hair and across his uniform, from where he'd been laying next to her earlier.]

...She's gone.

_{She'll be back soon, Frank.}

[He steps closer and kneels beside his Son.]

No.

[He moves away from Big Boss, leaning over Elisa's stiff body.]

I have been told many things; I was told the other me would return... He never did. He remains as all corpses, lifeless and abandoned.
Death is not a hunter unbeknownst to its prey, one is always aware that it lies in wait. Elisa has faced Death, her journey is at its end.

[A frown quickly spreads across John's face. He's growing increasingly uncomfortable with what he's hearing. Could she really be gone this time? Have they lost her...permanently?]

_{How can you be so sure this time?}

[Null pauses, falling silent as he lifts his head.]

I cannot feel her linger.

_{...I see.}

[No presence at all. He doesn't feel anything either. He's never really been all that good at detecting ghosts, but he's seen a few in his time. Frank's right. She's long gone.]

_...

[The young soldier allows himself to go silent once more, eyes down on Elisa's corpse. His body language gives no indication of how he feels; his eyes and tone remaining impossible to read.]

[He knows the boy's pretty upset about the loss of his girlfriend and personal doctor. He feels as if he pales in comparison and he knows he can't fill the void in his Son's heart.]

All things must come to an end.

[He slowly rises up to his feet, taking a step back from the medic's body. It's strange; though he continues to feel this numbness in his chest, he finds himself almost hesitant to move away from the girl's body. He doesn't rightly understand why.]

I cannot rely on others... I must learn to fend for myself.

Being independent is good, but you need not fear occasionally relying on others. You don't always have to shoulder your burdens alone.

[He rises to his feet again.]

[Of course he'd looked in once he realized he couldn't read her presence. It doesn't count as visiting if nobody's there, does it? Psycho Mantis does not ~~often~~ drop in for a friendly chat.

However, it seems he's come across a crime scene. Vitaly is skeptical of the wrist wounds - it'd take forever to bleed out from those (at least by his standards), and who has the patience? Unless the blood flow was psychokinetically enhanced - ~~he wonders if she had nanomachines~~.

He refuses to believe that it's the suicide it's crudely set up to look like, because... he just doesn't.

At any rate, it doesn't matter if he can deduce her cause of death or not. The girl will probably have some kind of obnoxious ghost amnesia brought on by death being oh-so-traumatic, but gleaning the memories from her mind should be simple enough.

Where is she, anyway? How typical, that she would shy away from the scene of her death. Alternatively, Ursula may be going on a bit of a rampage. He should probably find her - people are typically a bit upset by their own death.

Vitaly quickly scans around the building, but still can't sense her. Anywhere. Which is impossible. Certainly she's been dead long enough. He drifts about the infirmary, growing increasingly ~~concerned~~ impatient.] Elisa, [he calls out to the empty room, sternly.] Elisa, don't be such a child. It will only be three days for you. [~~He hopes-~~]

[He must have missed her - perhaps the minds of newly-dead psychics are less easily read than the ghosts of the general populace. Now he's just grasping at straws.]

Where are you, you stupid girl? [Vitaly tries to ignore the gnawing feeling that she isn't here. She isn't. At all.]

Elisa?
