WHAT HAPPENED?

Why are they dead? Why did they just fucking fall over and die? Why did they just suddenly turn to crystal and disappear? Why did it only happen to people who just got here? Why didn't they just turn into crystal like the people in the hospital? Why does anything happen on this god awful stupid planet?!

Twice now I've seen someone I know show up here, only to have them disappear. Both were people really important to me, both were people who I had been looking for but lost, both are now just gone from existence. Last year, Lukas showed up here crystallized and disappeared like an hour later. This week, Blaine crystallized in front of me and disappeared in moments. It apparently happened to other people. Some had it a lot worse and they just fell over and died. Others are missing and we don't even know what happened to them.

No one's going to have answers because this place is completely fucked. I've been asking all over town what people saw and it's all the same stories of death or crystallization and then disappearance. Just when I think this place might be worth living it, it pulls another stunt like this. This planet can burn for all I care.

[This letter isn't signed, since it's mostly an act of outrage than a facilitation of thoughtful discussion. Instead, there's a note on the bottom from Johnny's moogle helper, Mogrius, about how this is from Johnny and how he does not encourage writing back. He's not going to answer, and unless you can bring his friend back, he likely won't care what you have to say. He does encourage for anyone who might care to stop a certain pub, where Johnny is sitting in a corner drinking himself into a stupor at this very moment, which is clearly the best response to this. You know, if you care. Which Mogrius does not. But he figures it's possible someone out there might.

If you go to see him there, he is indeed right where Mogrius said he'd be, head laying on top of his arm, folded on the table. There are many empty glasses surrounding him already, and the night is young.]

[Ramza nods. He does not understand why Johnny should be embarrassed. Perhaps something to do with the alcohol. He raises his water glass.]

To your friends. May they find happiness and health where'er they be.

[He stands.] Drink. Eat. I shall get you another drink. [Johnny's last for the night, Ramza hopes. The bartender seems to be cutting him off, and Ramza suspects he will be in no state to get himself to another bar after this.]
