[It's the first sign anyone may have seen of Five in the past week. He's not dealing well with the loss of his sister, and the last member of his family in this world. It's only made his ever-present ongoing obsession with finding a way home worse. He may or may not respond to comments here- but his CR are more than welcome to invite themselves over and check on him~]

[ The dog is cute, but Harry's more interested in the hashtags. He ends up texting Five privately. ]

everything ok? I thought you were staying with your sister.

[forasecond]

[It's not an immediate response. He's busy reviewing one of his equations, but eventually, a couple hours later maybe he gets a very succinct response: ]

She's gone.

[nepotis]

[ Harry figures Five is probably busy with something. So he doesn't stress when it takes a while to get a text back. ]

shit. I'm sorry, man.

[forasecond]

It's not the first time.

[First, Luther.
Now, Allison.
Before that, all of them, in that barn in Texas in the 60s.
Before that, finding their bodies in the debris at the end of the Apocalypse.
How many times will he have to lose his siblings before he gets to actually rest?]

[nepotis]

[ Ugh, this sucks. Harry knows what it's like to feel alone, abandoned, whether intentionally or unintentionally. ]

do you want some company?

[forasecond]

You know where I live.

[Which is kind of like a 'yes', without actually having to say it.]

[nepotis]

[ It's close enough to a "yes" for Harry. ]

ok. it'll take me a bit to get there, but I'm omw.

should I bring anything?

[ Snacks. DVDs. Liquor? ]

[forasecond]

Wouldn’t say no to bourbon if you’ve got any.

>> action!

[nepotis]

bourbon. you got it.

[ His own bottle is a little too low for sharing, so he'll stop and pick some up on the way. The good stuff.

It takes him about half an hour, but finally there's a ring at Five's doorbell. ]

Loneliness has been a constant state for Number Five for so long that he would thought it wouldn’t matter as much when it found him again. The truth is, it’s worse. Compounded by having his family, only to have them ripped away from him. Again.

He’s at the door in an instant, only to let it fall open as an invitation inside before he jumps back over to his spot on the couch.

Artemis wanders in from another room to investigate Harry’s shoes.
