likewatson | 007 [video]

[Harry's known for his serious disposition, but today, he's looking as somber as ever. Certainly more somber than anyone here has seen him.

He's not sad, though. He might look like he's lost some sleep, but he hasn't been crying. Here's the thing about Harry and grief: he either accepts it outright, or he doesn't. Part of him always knew he'd lose Coop, one way or the other — one of them would leave this place to go back home, and that would be it. Same with Albert and Gordon. Same for everyone, even the people he doesn't know from his own world. That's the nature of this place. The nature of all places, when he thinks about it.

Everyone leaves, eventually. In some way or another.

Since part of him anticipated this, he's accepted it. Sure, it still stings, and yes, he's half-terrified by the thought of what Coop has gone back home to, but he keeps telling himself that it will be okay. He's at the point where he almost believes it.

Holmes the Noctowl is seated next to him out in the dark yard when the transmission begins, red eyes distractedly following something out in the distance. He doesn't seem to mind the hand buried in the feathers of his back, which is good, because Harry's not letting go anytime soon.

When he speaks, his voice is a little gravelly.]

Hi, everyone.

I'm sure you all know by now, but if not: Special Agent Dale Cooper has gone back home.

[He pauses, searching for the right words.

And finds nothing.

The transmission ends.]

[So this is not here, obviously.]

[I mean, yes, she saw it, of course.]

[She could hardly miss it.]

[And you know, because it's Harry, maybe she should...maybe just...]

[...]

[Or no, maybe she'll just disappear again.]

I'm sorry Harry.

[Because what can you say to that. He's not really sure what Cooper's returning to. But he knows there's something wrong back there. He just hopes it isn't Silent Hill level wrong.]

Do want some company?

[Because sometimes it's better or worse with other people.]

Thanks for the offer, but not right now. I'm OK. Does Heather know?

I think so. I'm giving her some time alone right now.

You think that's such a good idea?

He's-...what?

[Ah, crap.

Harry flicks the video back on, regarding the screen with a frown.]

I'm sorry.

I--no, I should probably be saying that. Were you two close?

[He hesitates, then nods.]

Yeah. Yeah, we are.

[Are, not were. They were close here, and now that Coop's back in Twin Peaks — same deal. Nothing's changed. Except everything.]

Friends from home. You?

How are you holding up?

[Gordon's pretty sure he can guess going from the video, but still he feels like he should say something.]

Hey, Chief. I'm all right, thanks. How about you?

I've been better. Found his Wooper earlier.

I've got Holmes here and his Sawsbuck. Real pretty this time of year. She's got flowers on her antlers. The Wooper is Minute, right?

[Seeing the feed from the center, it doesn't take very long before Cheria knocks gently at the door to the house Harry said he was staying in.]

[It's probably no surprise that Harry's the one to answer the door. Coop's gone-gone, Carmen's gone, Albert's Albert, Ziva's...

Harry's not sure. He's been keeping to himself. That should change soon.

When he opens the door, he's without any of his Pokémon.]

Cheria. Hey.

[Giving a soft smile when Harry answers the door, she doesn't say anything; just opens her arms and moves to hug him tight.]

[Honestly, Harry wasn't quite expecting that.

It's nice, though. He hasn't been hugged since this whole thing went down.

He might have needed it, judging by the way he leans against Cheria for a few seconds before pulling back.]

[Blake didn't know the guy, but the words Special Agent tell him everything he needs to know.]

What's the problem? You've got some FBI asshole out of your way. That's a good thing.

[Oh wow Blake you just dropped like fifty spots in Harry's book. His scowl is audible.]

That FBI asshole was my partner and the best damn lawman I've ever met, Bureau or otherwise.

Sorry, sorry. Didn't know you were such a big fan.

[His voice is actually a little sincere. Harry's a decent sort and he wasn't aiming to piss him off.]

I've had a bad run-in with one of them charging in and trying to take over. Never met your guy, though.
