.014 Ghost || [Video] January 9th
[Sarah is shown sitting against a railing to a balcony. She doesn't look like she's slept much in the last few days, and she carries the haunted appearance of something thinking too hard or under considerable strain. Her green eyes are dull and flick around, unable to focus much.]
It seems this place can't help but drag more new people in. Perhaps we aren't sacrificing enough of ourselves, hmm?
[There's a moment when her voice takes on a bitter end, but it fades and she rubs her face with the heel of a gloved hand. She then shakes her head and flips off the communicator to privacy settings.]
[Private to Roy Mustang]
[She finally manages to stare at the camera for more than a few seconds, and she looks worn and vulnerable.]
You're on your own for a few days. Don't get killed. [Her normal cutting tone is absent, taking the edge off the words.]
[Private to Selendis]
[She just frowns and looks down at her lap.] I'm sorry.
[Private to Tassadar]
[She's still looking at her lap from her Selendis message, and her shoulders have slumped by this point, tired.] I don't want anything even remotely like pity from you or anyone. I need a few days to sort through what you showed me.
[She finally lifts her face again, forcing it to be devoid of emotion.] So you don't think I'm doing anything unfortunate, I'll be settled in Zone 4 that is off limits to guests and perhaps just outside the wall in the desert.
