[The voice is dry, lifeless. Devoid of any emotion]

Rikki... Are you there?

[kickinsidekick]

Danielle? Hey. Yeah. I'm here.

[itsnotamirage]

I need your help. I feel strange.

[kickinsidekick]

Strange how? Like, sick?

[itsnotamirage]

No.

It's hard to explain.

[kickinsidekick]

...Okay. You sound sort of weird.

[itsnotamirage]

I do? I don't think I do.

[kickinsidekick]

Just sort of. I don't know. Listless? Or maybe just tired. Something's off, though.

[itsnotamirage]

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

[kickinsidekick]

Th-ha-aaa-at's not good. What's the last thing you remember?

[itsnotamirage]

I met a little boy...

[kickinsidekick]

Okay, so you met him. Do you remember anything that happened after that? And how long ago was this?

[itsnotamirage]

I remember feeling relived, going home and then, nothing.

It happened a week ago.

[kickinsidekick]

You don't remember an entire week? That's not good.

Where'd you meet him?

[itsnotamirage]

I can't remember that either.

[kickinsidekick]

[sound of Rikki sitting down heavily on something soft, like her bed or maybe a couch.]

Okay. Damnit I wish I remembered the SHIELD procedures for something like this. Uh, maybe if you think back a little earlier, before you met him, you'll remember where you were heading?

And you can't remember it, so is it just like drawing a blank? Or are the details there but shadowy?
