[a grin is audible in her voice] ...Damn, you know, I really should start a betting pool on who gets dragged back here.

[screened to Leon//unhackable]

Yeah, a month is right. Was it different for you? ...Uh, you know? I don't actually know. Things have been kind of crazy here... I haven't actually seen her since just before you got sent away. [does she sound... guilty? ...naaaahhhh] When you disappeared... I overheard some stuff. She was- upset.
