[Lain hesitates as she turns on the video. Her eyes and nose are red and it's obvious by her sniffling that she's been crying]
U-um... I was told I should...try to make friends more, but I'm not sure how. [There's a pause] Um... I'm learning to cook more, so if anyone want a bento, or something else, let me know and I can try to make it for you?
[She's so not... into this. She bows her head. Better just spit it out]
Shouichi-sama and Spanner-sama are g-g... [okay she was good until there. The feed cuts out for a few minutes. When it comes back on, Lain's bottom lip is still trembling but her voice is a little more steady.]
They're gone. Um... I still want to continue running the Repair Shop. If Yoko-san wants to continue it with me... We have t-two spots open now, for mechanics, I think... I still have to work things out with Yoko-san. Pl-please direct yourself over
here if you need something with the repair shop. I'll change the message later when I've, um...figured things out more.
[Aaand the strong facade crumbles now and she turns the video off. She'll still respond though, just give her a minute]
