◗ 001 VIDEO → VOICE

[reactivate]

[Olivia is looking very uncomfortable on the screen, not even making eye contact with it. She looks like she wants to say something, but she doesn't. It takes a few more seconds for her to start speaking.]

I, I was wondering if... [Oh no it's too much. Think of all the people that are watching her! She ends up covering the camera, so only her voice can be heard now.] I'm sorry, but I was wondering if anyone here likes to dance? I'm not very good, but maybe practicing together will help with the, umm... touching we have to do.

[There's an awkward pause before she speaks again, and it's much faster.] I have something to do I should go now!

I was hoping to get in contact with someone who knew the Shepherds to apologize.

[She's actually quiet happy to hear that and it relaxes her a bit.] That's very true, and I'll be more than willing to help you. Did you have any free time today? Or would you like to practice on another day?

Apologize? For what?

[She is actually super-confused because she is pretty sure Olivia is probably the last person who needs to apologize to anyone for anything.]

I'm fine with now, as long as there won't be anyone else around... otherwise, I can wait.

Well I... I promised to help them, but it seems I was kidnapped here instead. When I heard of the Exalt's passing, I thought I should help them as she helped me once.

I think it'll just be us. [because oh my god people watching would be too embarrassing.] I think it makes teaching and learning easier without an audience. Well, we can meet at my place. [She pauses, trying to remember the location.] It's in building one, second floor, umm... room twenty four. That isn't too far for you, is it?

Well, if it's true what they say, the Shepherds won't even know you're gone.

[Which really isn't comforting but... hey. She tried.]

You're probably right. And no, it's not too far- I can be there pretty quick, if you want me to be.

Still, I... [She guilts herself like this, always worrying and thinking too much if she doesn't focus on something.] I'm not sure who to believe, especially if they brought us here.

That's good. I'll be waiting for you, so just knock on the door, alright?

[video]

[severaty]

I understand. But there's no use worrying yourself into a fit over it. Not right now, at least. If you're really that set on apologizing, just wait until you get back.

[She thinks that should be easy enough, right?]

Alright. See you there.
