[A standard pre-recorded message starts:]

Your call has been forwarded to an automatic voice message system. [There are a few long moments of dead silence before someone draws a breath speaks in a stiff, uncomfortable tone:] Himura Tomoe... [and another long few seconds of silence where she apparently didn't realize how to stop the recording.] is not available. At the tone, please record your message. When you have finished recording, you may hang up or press one for more options. To leave a callback number, press five.

It feeds off of us... it must... [Why else would so many things happen that seemed to outright target emotional upheaval?] What do I do now...? Do I approach him? Or keep my distance?

What is the right thing to do...?

[goldenglasses]

I think it depends on what you want. Do you want him in your life again?

[willing_sheath]

I want him to be happy... I want him to be safe... [She holds a little tighter to him]

The less he knows of us... the better...

[goldenglasses]

Then I don't think you have to tell him everything. It will be hard not to let him know that you two have met before, but I think you don't need to tell him just how close.

[willing_sheath]

[She nods and then pulls back slightly.]

What [she pauses to clear her throat] What did he say...? Does he look alright...? [She doesn't move to get her phone, not just yet. She isn't sure that she's ready yet.]

[goldenglasses]

He hasn't really said much of anything, but he looks alright.

[willing_sheath]

[She nods again]

Good... good...

[goldenglasses]

Some people have started to tell him how he's been here before. So he might not be too surprised if you say the same to him.

[willing_sheath]

[She nods slowly before drawing her arms around herself again.]

Right...

...

I suppose... the first thing to do... is look at the post...

[goldenglasses]

Would you like company to do that? Or some time alone?

[willing_sheath]

[She considers it for a long few moments.]

Alone I think... at least for now...

[She needed to process, and even if she couldn't really hide from Vash behind her mask anymore she would still try. Best to do it on her own.]

[goldenglasses]

Alright, I won't be too far away if you change your mind.

[willing_sheath]

[She nods.]

Thank you... for everything...

[And she'll head out from there... heading straight for North Park]
