[It’s a late night post, a video display of Zack from his chin on down, facing a clear glass bowl with a golden fish idly swimming in lackadaisical circles.

[A door shuts, and if it sounds as if she's on the move---

Then I'll hit the northern regions. I wonder if we should organize a party or just go it alone...?

Well, you see, I've been busy...
[LIES!]
