Brite boy, I could help you if you let me take your hand.

[She sounds a little strained.]

The time in the desert was nice. Thank you, Leto, for keeping us company. It was definitely a stress relief. It would be nice to stay there, but there's no way to survive out there and really, when the weather turns again, it should be nice here, I'm guessing.

As for.. the time.. it's uh, it's time for New Feathers to arrive, right? I can't say this is a time anyone looks forward to. We'll have to prepare, grin and bear it....

It's difficult, isn't it? We want to see our loved ones, but we also don't want them hurt. It's hard not to feel selfish, not to feel awful for wanting to see the people that mean the most to us here. But, I think it's just human. Being away from those people, it hurts.

If anything, it helps our drive to escape, doesn't it? We'll have a lot to figure out, but seeing those people in the line of fire along with us, it's motivation to try so much harder.

So, no matter who arrives in the next two weeks... everyone, stay strong, and remember these things.
