[A) Crowe is out for a walk today, looking exhausted as he sometimes does. Nightmares have been back after the zombie incident, so he hasn't been sleeping well. He yawns as he casually tosses papers to people's houses... but they're not going where they should be. They might be heading through your window, into the garden or right for your head

[ Ilsa answers the door, but it looks like she ought to be in bed. ]

Hey, Calleo - come on in.

[ooeeooahah]

...and there are people who will feel the same if you're taken from us. But if we don't care about each other, how close does that make us to the drones?

[ Calleo is getting a hug, because he needs it. ]

We have to work together to get out, and cutting ourselves off from emotional attachments takes more effort away from that goal.

[A-Aww, hug. He bites his lip, looking down.] Y-Yeah. I know that, I guess. I don't know if I'm just trying to talk myself out of it o-or what...

[ooeeooahah]

Cal-hon, you're going to get hurt. There's nothing any of us can do about that, no matter where we are, or who we're with. When it does happen, remember the good, learn from the bad, and keep going. The key is to not give up.

[He looks up at her now, and give a small, embarrassed smile. One that says he knows she's right.] Right. Sometimes I lose sight of that last bit.

[ooeeooahah]

When you lose sight again, start baking, and remember. Come on, let's get the frosting ready.

Okay, I will.
