(Case 05: Holy Shit, Batman, It's a Black Hole)

[ Yako flickers onto the network - the connection at the moment seems to be unstable, like it's half on, or half off, and unsure which to wholey be. The "announcement" has left her visibly shaken, and if a person is particularly keen with their eyes, it may look like she's been crying. Yako is currently unaware of the spere, much like she seems

[smiles encouragingly at her, his voice soft] Miss Yako, it's all right. Take a breath, nice and deep.

[ the sphere flickers on and off again, and Yako looks to be taking the Doctor's advice. She takes nice, deep breaths, and offers what's a grim smile, then a more sincere one. ]

I know. Sorry. I didn't... [ know the sphere wasn't off. ]

[bit_impossible]

[knows that look all too well and continues to give her an encouraging smile]

Don't have to apologise! Not to me. Are you feeling a bit better?

[katsuragi_yako]

Yes. [ she swallows. ] I am.

[bit_impossible]

Good! Just so you know, I'm going to give you the biggest hug the next time I see you. I'd hug the Sphere here but...nah, not quite the same!

Keep safe. A couple of us a trying to make things right, so don't you worry!

[katsuragi_yako]

[ That gets another smile, and a faint look of gratitude. It's the sentiment, more than the idea of a hug, that touches her. ]

Yeah. It wouldn't quite be the same.

[ she represses the urge to salute, her face getting a more determined look. ] I will, and I won't stop looking for answers, either. Good luck, Doctor!

[bit_impossible]

Thank you, Yako! Same to you! [grins and winks]

[katsuragi_yako]

Thank you! [ she grins back, briefly, before flicking the sphere off, intent to motivate herself into finding whatever she can. To life! ]
