[She looks surprised.]

And you remember? That' great! We were worried that something happened to you.

[sequincy]

I guess it did, in a way.

[underachieves]

Hey, you're alive.

[ voice | locked ]

[sequincy]

Did you really think it could be otherwise?

[underachieves]

Newcomer killer and all.

[sequincy]

[oh, that's still going on too...? Of course. Only two days. Right.]

Well, I'm fine.
