Accidental Voice

[The computer comes on in the middle of what is apparently a phone conversation.]

Yeah. It's good to hear your voice too.

[Aya's voice almost sounds a little pained...saddened.]

I am. I'm...I'm happy.

[He lets out a little laugh.]

I know. I'm sorry.

[A pause.]

You're happy, right? Where you are?

[A longer pause.]

...Take care. I love you, Aya. [The snap of a cellphone being shut then the sounds of being taken apart as the recording ends.]

It's possible to do it and no one gets hurt.

[redlikecrimson]

No. Not for this.

[makewayforroze]

Is there another reason?

[redlikecrimson]

It's better this way.

[makewayforroze]

How is it better to separate family? I'm sure she wants to see you, too.

[redlikecrimson]

It's complicated.
