Also that of: the boat creaking, claws or nails scratching along a surface, skittering...]Hello? Right. It seems like we're not the only ones in this situatiuon, but I thought I should let the others know

I'm glad- You stay safe, please?

[audiens]

Of course!

Unless-- you aren't in trouble, are you?

[justasystem]

Me? No... I don't... think so, anyway.

[audiens]

You don't sound too certain... you're sure?

[justasystem]

It's a little creepy out, but. That's all.

[audiens]

Are things different outside of the boats?

[justasystem]

I don't know... I can't see anything.

[audiens]

Are you alone, Tianzi?

[justasystem]

Yes...

[audiens]

... Some bodyguard I turned out to be. I can pinpoint where you are in the tunnel easily enough, but...

[justasystem]

N- No, Marie, that's okay-

[justasystem]

Maybe... can I stay on the line with you and Miss Miranda for a while, though?

[audiens]

[He would go to her, wishes he could- but the network suggests risking the water is a bad idea]

As long as you'd like.

Can you hear it? [that simple little song]

[justasystem]

Just a little while...

[listening]

[justasystem]

That's your song, isn't it, Marie?

[audiens]

Well it-- I'm playing it, if that's what you mean.
