[The video's shaky when Jesse starts transmitting. He's at the baseball diamond and it's the middle of winter and he's shivering, dressed for a New Mexico summer in a hoodie that's barely thicker than the t-shirt he's wearing underneath it.]

I'm here.

[He's saying that to the NV, but his attention is away from the camera, directed to the road.]

Where's a goddamn taxi...

[He stops walking for a second and raises the NV so he can talk to it properly.]

I'm here. I'm okay. How long's it been? What year is it?

I'll bring food! [She nods. Rue wants to give you the biggest hug and cling, and she will later.] Okay, a couple hours. I'll be there.

Awesome.

[He forces another little smile.]

[Her eyes search his face, she doesn't believe his smile, something happened, something...]</small. See you then.
