[Saki looks tired, but she's holding up okay as it stands. She doesn't much like using the network, and right now, she really doesn't like it, but it's the best way to speak to the tower as a whole. She has a book with her, and she cracks it open, beginning to read:]

April is the cruelest month, breeding
Lilacs out of the dead land, mixing
Memory and desire, stirring
Dull roots with spring rain.

[Anyone who knows Saki knows poetry isn't her usual style, but she's not been herself lately, to say the least.]

Is April always so cruel here? Or was this month just particularly bad?

...Kazumi, Kyoko, Mami - are you three okay?

If there are always twelve months, then...this will always be Jason's.

*Which means...probably so. He remembers this is someone who has a Soul Gem.*

Are you all right?

That makes the poem accurate. Perhaps not perfectly so, but it's certainly not inaccurate to describe April as a cruel month.

[No, she isn't. She won't look directly at the camera as she speaks, because the truth of the matter - her pain and her despair - is all too clearly reflected in her eyes.]

...I will be. I'm not now, but given time, I will be.

Do you need any help?

*It's clear she does, but...he knows she wouldn't just hand over her soul if she doesn't want any help. Who would? But he has to offer. He can't just let her suffer and be able to help but not pursue it.*
