Kwento: On an impending change of address

That Russ is leaving his current living quarters upstairs from mine to move into another one nearer to his workplace disheartens me. Whether or not we speak of his sake alone, nothing should hold him from moving in to the new place, methinks. Not that his decision would change with anyone's opinions anyway. It's just that I barely see the others now. Every time I know he isn't there hiding out in his room, the house feels a little darker.
