I suppose we'll get a proper taste of the storm you'd heard and told me about. Are you scrambling to protect anyone? You know it'll be futile.

[For the longest time, she never receives a reply. Strange, considering the intended recipient of her message had been Maya.]

[But eventually she does earn a return text.]

It would be futile, if I did it on my own. But if I

did it with the city's help, then

[She's also... messaging her while she's fucking, but just ignore that.]

Then?

[ She is being unusually short, not to mention late in response, but the recent event is a good enough excuse for delay, even for Maya. ]

Everything will be just fine.

Are you occupied, Miss Amano? Not like you to be so dismissive of me. Have you finally tired of my heckling?

I can still talk to you like this, please don't think that.

How long did the storm last?

Don't mistake me—I won't feel dejected. A few days. Was it that much of a blur to you?

[Yes. But--]

They wouldn't tell me when I asked.

They?

[ The only thing "they" could refer to is… ]

They said I wasn't able to know. I had to deal with my choices

[Ah, hold on, she has to adjust her position a little.]

and the fact I abandoned my friends.

[ Some pause. Only some, because she's balking at the reasons given to place Maya Amano in re-ed. ]

Interpretable answers, but I thought only felonies were punishable.

[She doesn't know all of them, yet. Which would be astoundingly clear soon.]

That's correct. I guess you could call what I did a felony, or maybe a few, on their terms.

Then crime is subjective, and there is only the order of whim.

[ The yoke around Frühling's neck feels ever more closer. ]

Do you know much longer will you be detained?

I believe walking into a building with a gun is a crime regardless of where you do it.

I've already been released. They wouldn't let me communicate over the chips if it wasn't so.

[She wouldn't have cried so many tears if it wasn't so, either.]

[ Boohoo, Maya. Boohoo. ]

Sounds hard for a reporter. Was your sentence truly so foul? What lessons have you learned?

[Someone has to feel sad for not being able to check up on Giovanni's safety. If she knew their connection, she'd say that much.]

It was. But it wasn't foul. I needed it. I needed what they gave me.

[And just let her finish it up, here...]

I learned I have a place here.

Isn't that what they want you to believe?

[ Frühling is curious to test out the re-ed effects. How strong are they? —And, really, she can't give up the opportunity to goad her. So, thinking of Giovanni… ]

If you're out now, then perhaps you might want to touch base with a "friend" of yours. I'm sure he's thirsting to hear from you. He always is, that greedy mutt. You do quite a number on him, don't you?

[Part of Maya believes she already knows, but:]

Who?

Take a guess.

Does someone need me?

You've been punished for abandoning your friends.

Among the ones you've met here, who's the first to come to mind? You could always make another house call.

[The first to come to mind? She thinks, but even she isn't sure. Does it matter? She adores all her friends equally, especially those who need her most. It's too much work right now to pull out one name, or a small handful. (It would be a different story if their faces were right in front of her.)

She thinks, but then something slips away and it all scatters.]

I could... or we could do something together. How are you today, Campanella? Is there anything I can do for you? Anything at all?

It's not a problem. ;)

Touching, twisting it to count me as a friend. We aren't on a first-name basis, Amano.

[ No one is. ]

Miss Frühling.

[That works, then. Right?]
