[ Hey everyone, it's your favorite token human. She's not donned the suit today, and that's probably because she doesn't look so good. She's been losing weight since her arrival, but now it's really showing. She appears to not have slept in a week. ]

Hey guys. Sorry for kind of going MIA I just... had some shit to take care of.

So look um. A few points of interest here. First-

Does anyone wanna hang out? I mean just like. Drop by. If that's okay. I'm free all day.

And since... until we can find Ratchet, I need someone to teach me the ropes in the whole. Medical. Field. I'm nowhere near good enough to work without supervision.

[ She rakes a few strands of hair out of her eyes.]

On a last note, I know this is a weird question but... has anyone ever fallen out of love with someone? And if so, how did you do it?

I...know. [Or he hoped, anyway.] But I don't like seeing people I care about in distress. [He shrugs. Sorry Vandal, he's a caretaker type and you're stuck with him.]

Whatever you need Karrie. I want to see you healthy and happy.

[He vents a sigh, he wants advice on this, but he's wondering if asking Vandal would be unkind...]

When you feel like you maybe have a confession to make, but you wonder if it's because the other person really has a right to know or if you're overreacting and just want to absolve your own guilt.

[His conversation with Whirl had have him thinking really hard on the later subject.]

[ She chuckles softly. ] I'll be fine, Wing. I'm hard to kill.

Hmmm. Yeah. I definitely- ahah. I think. I mean. Short of sounding like I can't take my own advice, I think it's best to let them know. You know. If you really care.

I truly hope so. [He's just going to keep worrying about you. Being helpless to do anything makes it worse.]

But...I know it'll be hurtful. And maybe make things difficult for others.

And it's just--it's only half my fault. Or even less than that. But I can't shake the feeling of being responsible. That's my issue right? I should go hurting people just because I can't handle the burden... [Wow this sounding a little too parallel to you problem.]

[He's so tired of the ambiguity of this problem. He groans in frustration and presses a palm to his crest.]

Well, if that person is worth your while, then I'm sure they'll understand and work things through with you, Wing.

[It's kinda weird giving advice to him for a change.]

Have faith.

[Said the faithless.]

[He sighs heavily through his vents...]

So you're saying I should tell him? Even though it probably shouldn't be a big deal... [He knows it would bother Drift...which he realizes now is a big part of why he feels guilty.]

It's normally so much easier for me...

[If he could give you some of his, he would.]

If it's a big deal to you, I think he'll understand, Wing.

I know you can. I believe in you.

I hope so...

[He sighs again.]

I'm sorry I shouldn't burden you with these things.

I know so.

Hey- come on, what kind of friend would I be if you couldn't talk to me? It's not a burden.

Honestly, being able to help is. Kinda fulfilling.

Okay. [He's going to come crying to you if Drift stops talking to him though.]

You just have so many of your own, I should be helping fix them, not adding to them.

I'm glad, I know the feeling. Karrie, if there's anything I can do... please tell me.

[She will accept this responsibility.]

You're not adding to them, and you've done plenty by just. You know. Being there for me. You and Drift? I really ah-

Love you guys.

I will. I promise.

I still try not to, but at least it's give-and-take. We can be there for each other.

You mean a lot to me too Karrie, and I know Drift is very fond of you.

Thanks.

Yeah. No problem, Wing. Lucky as hell to have you two.

Likewise Karrie.
