[Accidental Video]

[The feed switches on to show a floor-level video of Stellar's room in disarray; the chest of drawers on its face near the door, things scattered along the floor. Somewhere in the background, Stellar is cowering and shakily sobbing. She hated this place. She wanted to leave!]

Shinn... protect Stellar... Shinn promised t-to... to protect Stellar

[Today on your local Lamb channel, Sofia sitting in her room, left arm bandaged and in a sling, noticing the girl she remembers from her first day. Lamb briefly wonders if it was her screaming during the event, but soon doubts it, strongly. Nevertheless, there's somebody who should not be alone right now.]

Stellar? Stellar, this is Doctor Lamb. Can you hear me?

[And today's guest features a genetically modified soldier who accidentally or on purpose kills people when she gets scared!]

Wonderland isn't s-safe for Stellar...! Shinn, p-p-please find Stellar..!

[Our topic of the hour: People who are completely unaware of other people's homicidal tendencies and just want to talk to them soothingly.]

I can hear you, Stellar, you will be all right.

Are you hurt? Do you need help?

[It's a segment you don't want to miss.]

T-this place i-is bad...! T-too many scary things..!

[echo_of_utopia]

We were all scared, but you are safe now.

[Not permanently, Lamb guesses, but hey, no reason to rub that in, right?]

Will you come to the camera for me, Stellar?

[in_ocean_depths]

No! Stellar isn't safe!

[echo_of_utopia]

[Lamb sees the messy room, knows about the veil and the screaming (both of which have ended, at least for her), but isn't entirely sure if there is still more going on or if that's just Stellar being a scared child.]

Why, Stellar? What is happening?

[in_ocean_depths]

This is a scary place! With scary things that try to hurt Stellar!

[echo_of_utopia]

I know, Stellar, I know, but the event is over now. You will be okay. Just listen, listen, the screaming has stopped. It was not real, do you understand?

[in_ocean_depths]

The scary things.. they tried to get into Stellar's room..!

[echo_of_utopia]

All right...

[This is going nowhere fast. She can barely make out Stellar in the background and, hardly knowing anything about Stellar or those scary things, she is running out of generic, calming phrases fast.]

Stellar, if you tell me where your room is I can go there and make sure the scary things are gone, would you like me to do that?

[in_ocean_depths]

No!

[echo_of_utopia]

[Siiiigh.]

All right, Stellar. Is there anything you would like me to do?

[in_ocean_depths]

...No...

[echo_of_utopia]

[More internal sigh.]

All right. Stellar, I will end the transmission now. I am sure you will be okay, but if there is anything you need, please, do not hesitate to call me. Goodbye, Stellar. Take heart.

[Lamb will wait for a moment in case Stellar wants to reply and then, should there be no objections, turn the communication device off.]
