[The communicator clicks on, and a sigh can be heard, as well as footsteps.]

There cannot be light without darkness. There cannot be darkness without light. There will always be balance, and thus, a need for people to be dark.

Without their dark, we would not have people of light to help us.

Forgive me, please, for what I did when I was...not myself.

Hey.

Thanks for keeping me awake and helping Simon. It was a big help.

I'm going to be okay now. I'm sorry we couldn't help you out, though.

[schemingwords]

It was the least I could have done with how I was.

...Don't apologize. It's better that it happened as it did.

[staticnotsound]

Yeah, but...

I hate feeling so helpless. What if there was a way to help?

[schemingwords]

Everything happens, I suppose, for a reason. Even death.

If it had been another, would they have protected the Receiver? What if they had attacked her?

You shoulder too much guilt, Harry.

[staticnotsound]

I. I don't know.

No I don't. I worry just the right amount. And if I could have stopped him, no one else would have had to suffer.

[schemingwords]

Just as if I had been able to resist him, or use my illusions better against him, no one would have had to die past 15.

It is an endless circle of guilt. You can't keep everyone's worry and burdens for yourself, or you'll break one day.

[staticnotsound]

Been able to do it for forty-nine--

Oh. Shit. I'm fifty now.

Fifty years.

That was the WORST BIRTHDAY EVER

[schemingwords]

Heh. Happy Birthday, Harry.

I'd give you something, but my illusions were taken from me again.

[staticnotsound]

That's okay. I don't really need illusions to make me happy. It'd be nice to pretend, but... anyway, that's okay.

Thanks.

[schemingwords]

You're welcome.

Thank you for trusting in me, even...in my condition, we'll say.

[staticnotsound]

I know it's not trust misplaced.

Take it easy for awhile, Zexion.

[schemingwords]

You too, Harry. I'll be in to see you, eventually.

...I can't smell Garcian any longer. I think we'll need to speak on what we will have to do in length.

[staticnotsound]

Thanks. Could use a visit.

Damn. Him and Barret both... This isn't good. But yeah, we'll talk about it. Damn. Damn.

[schemingwords]

I'll be sure to stop by when you are a little stronger, when we can speak alone. Simon may want to be there as well. Memories or no, there is another matter I need to speak to him about.

Yes...I was afraid of that. But I see Torn and Ashelin are back. But until we have a bit more control of the situation, I think it best that we exclude them.

Still, now would be a perfect time, once we gather our thoughts, to work better with the police force.
