[ Such a regular conversation! But this -- dick jokes and ridiculously bad parents -- is familiar territory.

Okay, so start with the Coheed. Cool.
[ It's not thanks. But it's not not thanks, either. ]
Yeah. Start with 'em if you'd like, or I can give you a couple other bands close to them if they're too much. We've got one called Mandroid Echostar that I wouldn't mind introducing you to.

She echo on my mandroid 'til I star. [ Kiriona corrects, because she's great at this, obviously.
Kiriona could leave it at that. She probably should leave it at that. But the fact that after what's happened to Kiriona, after what she's become, after everything she's said to Anna -- that Anna is still waiting for her? That Anna still wants to hear from her?
Oh shit, I gotta get you into Prince, too. Okay, that'll be for later. Just hook back up with me whenever. Take care of yourself.
[she shouldn't hold on to hope. hope is the mind killer. but fuck it, she'd rather have false hope than none at all right now. and maybe... if this is really the way that kiriona is now, maybe this can be the beginning of something else. something just as good, or better.]

It's a new feeling. It's almost like safety.
Quieter, like an afterthought: ]
Sure. Thanks.
