Are they gone? I think they're gone.

[There's a pause]

I would see them, when I went to throw away the trash at night, or when I was on the roof. They would never hurt me, but I saw them leaving the carousel. I don't know why they didn't come after me - maybe they didn't see me.

But I haven't seen any today.

Now they're gone.

why?

Which..."they" are we talking about, exactly?

[risetwice]

The animals.

[waitsforever]

They're gone? Really?

[risetwice]

They're back where they're supposed to be.

[totallyinaband]

Isn't that a good thing, dude?

[risetwice]

It is.

I guess I just don't know why.

[totallyinaband]

Well take it as a good thing then, man. It seems like even when something positive happens in the City people start getting suspicious.

Come to think of it though, man, it's usually with good reason.

[risetwice]

I guess you're right.

[Even though he gets suspicious even at home]

[protects_her]

They didn't run today? That's progress.

[risetwice]

I know.

I don't know if that's good or not.

[protects_her]

It's one less thing to worry about for the moment, at least. But you're right, that doesn't necessarily mean it's a good thing overall.

[risetwice]

You're not worried?

[selenoscape]

It is strange, isn't it? But I think it's much better that they aren't coming to life anymore!

[risetwice]

I hope that's the end of it.

[selenoscape]

I do, too! And I hope no one was too badly hurt.

[risetwice]

You're not worried, are you?

[aimandfire]

I don't think anyone is going to know why. We didn't know why they started leaving either.

[risetwice]

Another question, unanswered.

[aimandfire]

It's what we're used to either way, isn't it?

Are you worried that they aren't running around?

[risetwice]

The threat you don't see is worse.
