[With how much Chuck loves doing video post, the fact that he's sticking to voice should be the first red flag. The choked tone in his voice is another.]

Fred- Winifred Burkle. Has anyone seen her?

Her NV's offline, she isn't answering it.

[There's a long, sunken silence.]

I think... she's gone.

I want to say she'll probably be back, but I just don't know- I haven't seen it yet. God, what's the point of seeing the future if it doesn't help?

Anyway, I just- thought everyone who knows her should know. She's out.

I'm fine.

[Which must be true in some way. Being bitter and resenting a change you didn't want is a given definition of 'fine'.]

Don't you get it? This is what humans do. One way or another, Chuck, this is the only thing you can count on them to do.

[paterelohim]

What, leave? Or get fucked over by powers too big for them?

Don't seriously try to turn this around. This isn't her fault.

[Enjoy getting hung up on. He'll call back later, when he's less angry and full of booze.]

You're not wrong.

[Quiet, to the point of being nearly inaudible. Almost tired.]

[Lucifer is quiet for a while. He knows he's right, of course, he always is...but it's refreshing to hear someone agree.]

This is an argument I'm not going to win, is it.

No, you won't.

I don't think you should.

[He said he would be honest, try not to hold back was was important.]

[And it's appreciated. And worthy of rewarding, because when Lucifer's in this sort of mood it's dangerous to tell him anything he doesn't want to hear...or so the rumor goes. In reality, Lucifer just waits a moment and then turns off the feed.]

[He doesn't call out otherwise. But he'll be sitting out in the woods later, if Lucifer wants to come find him.

Because if he had stopped caring about others - he never would have reacted out to Lucifer when Aslan died.]
