It goes on like that for a while, and whenever the communicator finds itself on video you get a clear view of Bell--siting in a chair somewhere around the High School. Her shoulders are slumped forward, almost in defeat. Her expression is blank, but the mood around her seems sad or tired. Like she hasn't slept well in a long while. Which couldn't be. She's a Goddess, right?

Slowly, her hand slips from the table, and the communicator falls to the floor.
She slumps forward, resting her forehead on the table. Her hair falling forward, pooling around her shoulders. Wide, sad eyes just stare at the table.
She doesn't move.
She doesn't cry.

[She stops, her voice fading away until she is once again still. For a long time, she just stays like that. Until finally she seems to regain composure. Her hand reaches down, picking up the communicator and switching it to text.]

If there is anything that I can do, please tell me. I want to help, yet I have been...disconnected as of late. I have not been doing what I should be and it is...very sad. Please, if there is anything that I can do, tell me. I need something to do. I must help with something.
