008 Connection ✎ Video

[It's been a while since she's really been on the network, and though she still doesn't know about Xion's panicked call from a month ago, she's been laying low in general. Little by little she's been trying to become more sociable, especially now that school  and her exams are finished.

So now she's focusing on something else, and it's come to her attention as she sits in a chair at Kahve, that it's been about a year already.]

Newcomers are coming in again. Hopefully things will be a little easy for them as they settle in.

But, I just have a question for those that have been here longer. Have your goals or dreams changed so much since you got here? Did you achieve things you never would have dreamed of?

[She's feeling sentimental, but thinking about the year she spent and all the things she's done now, it's got her thinking about other people too.]

Hey. [He knows that tone in her longer pauses, and he tries to encourage just a little bit of 'chin up' with the sudden gentleness in his voice]

Everything's going to be okay now.

[...which meant an abrupt subject change straight out of that softer tenderness, to cheer her right up.]

I got a watermelon today, from the grocery. It's perfect! We should share it instead of ice cream today.

...I know. [She doesn't mean to sound distant, so she smiles to reassure him.]

A watermelon? I'd like to try it.
