I'm so- I'm so sorry. I didn't- I mean- I...

If anyone needs help- [There's a brief moment of silence. Then.] No. Nevermind. You guys deserve a better hero. S-sorry. Sorry. I just-- Sorry. [and she slams the phone down.]

What the hell are you going on about--

( knocking on your door ten minutes later. open up, charlie. 8| )

[brbgoing2russia]

[She opens the door, looking like hell, and stares at him for a second or two.

And then closes it.

And then realizes who she's shutting the door on and opens it again.]

What are you doing outside? Last thing I need is you getting killed too. Do you know how totally dead I'd be?

[She can still do that talking without thinking thing when she's upset too! Good to know, right?]

[xuffasch]

Since when is it your job to make sure I'm alive? I'm taking care of that myself.

( and he just...walks straight into her house past her. )

[brbgoing2russia]

I noticed that. [And she closes and locks the door behind him.]

ACTION

[worst_apple]

[Sniffling, Elly shuffles into the room.] Hey... You're not okay. What's wrong??

[brbgoing2russia]

[She jerks up from her pillow immediately.]

Y-you're alive! [and she takes a big shaky breath.] I'm sorry.

[worst_apple]

I'm... I'm okay.

What's wrong? [Can Elly hug you, because everyone is gone and she's lonely?]

[brbgoing2russia]

[Yes. She'll give you all the hugs.]

I did something bad. I'm sorry I couldn't protect you.

[brbgoing2russia]

[It takes her a while to pick up. But she eventually does.]

...Yeah. Sorry. That was me I guess.

I'm more okay than a lot of other people in this town.
