[Feferi looks...tired. That's all you can really say about her, when she lets the video come on. She looks like she hasn't slept much, and she looks like she's gone somewhere to cry for a few minutes before calming down enough to speak.]

H-hi, everyone. I hope everyone's all right?

I - mm. I was going to ask whether or not anyone else's roommates weren't waking up, but...

Please be all right, Sayaka.

...what do you do when this place finally gets to you? I've been trying not to - to let it, but...I think I just really need some friends right now. I was up by the aquarium earlier and I think I'm gonna go back up there.

[She wipes at her eyes, and she thinks she's cut the feed, but:]

...it's never easy, this whole 'actually needing to step up and make decisions' princess stuff...

[ Misery loves company. ]

... What happened, Feferi?

[cullscuttlefish]

It's more like a lot of stuff has just built up over the time I've been here. I cod handle it if it was just one or two fins, but...glub. I feel like a fish that was fine swimming around but got beached and can't get back on her fins.

... Yeah. It's been pretty rough lately, and I'm not sure if things will get any better either. I wish I could say otherwise, but- [ A pause. ] I don't know ...

-- Is there anything I can do to help out?

[cullscuttlefish]

I don't know either, Tavros. I wish I did.

...hm. Don't guess you want to come play with the fish with me?

[pushedaround]

I would love that, Feferi! [ Cute fishies and quality time with the princess, there is no better way to spend his time. ]

Meet you there in a few?

[cullscuttlefish]

Sounds good. I'll be up here playing with the cuttlefish.
