second ❅ video;

Hi, everyone. It's me, Yukiko.

I wanted to check on everyone who was on the machine the other day. Are you all right? I hope the nightmares haven't been too bad.

If there's anything I can d--

[One second, Yukiko is there, talking into the terminal screen. The next second, she's gone. The terminal keeps recording, though all it catches is ambient background noise and video from the terminal bank in the dorms.

She'll eventually be back to answer any 'where the heck did you go?' inquiries, but it won't be before the terminal cuts off.]

Yikes. I'm glad you're - you are alright, right?

[She tilts her head, thinking.]

Am I right in assuming they got better after we got back?

Aren't there now, are they?

I didn't know if they'd just shifted around or something. I've been kind of out of it since I got back.

[Between getting her collar fluid switched and that whole experience, she needed some serious rest.]

Y'really shouldn't be up and around if you're that tired, y'know.

I can't just stay in bed forever either, though. I at least wanted to check on everyone.

Hey, don't worry 'bout it. Leave it to us.

You're right, I probably shouldn't worry as much as I am. You kind of get used to worrying after a while, around here, though. At least I do.

[That gets a sheepish smile.]

It's why some of us stayed behind, y'know. If ya need food or anything give someone a yell. We got our own kitchen.

[Uh-oh, Reno. You have just given Yukiko an ~idea~, and she is one of those people that really needs to be kept out of kitchens, for everyone's sake.]

That is true. Thank you. I really appreciate it.

...for when I'm feeling better, what floor?

[Because baking thank-you cookies can't possibly go wrong.]

Sixty.

Thanks a bunch. I appreciate it.
