Hypothetical: "Witness Protection"

[Asita]

Despite the title, Witness Protection does not provide a perfectly analogous scenario here, but I felt it was the easiest way to get the gist of it across. So I beg everybody's patience and thank everyone for not getting too mired in the unspoken details.

Let's assume a situation where something happens involving someone very close to you. A sibling, a close friend, a son or daughter...it only matters that you care deeply about this person. They're perfectly fine and to the best of your knowledge they will continue to be fine, but they're going to have to disappear in a few weeks. Let's say a month to be generous. After this point they will have to move to a new undisclosed location and neither you nor anybody you know can expect to have contact with them, possibly for the rest of their lives.

My question to you today, Escapists, is simply this: You have a month before somebody you care about will have to disappear. What do you do in this month?

I borrow a heckload of money from them.

Address any concerns I may have had with them that I would regret never resolving, tell them that I won't worry or grow anxious about them, and that I will live a happy and fulfilling life in spite of their absence. Then say goodbye.

Basically, same thing I did when I had people die.

Try to spend as much time with them as possible, in order to get as much money out of them as possible. Seriously though, I'd try my damndest to make the rest of our time together really mean something. I've let too many close friendships just fizzle away into nothing in the past, and even though they were well over a decade ago, it still hits me with pangs of regret.

Nothing. A heartfelt goodbye and good luck. For closure sake. It would be like a death, but they aren't dead so i'd have comfort that they are still living, just somewhere else.
