[Those who wish to meet with the Junior Administrator-- well she's always on call.

Getting her off her phone on the other hand... is a bit more difficult.]

It was... it happened a few years ago. I only... heard about it from other people. But... that's a conversation I should wait and share with everyone. I don't know if the others have asked either Han or Oswald, but... you all deserve to know what happened.

[And as for Megumi--]

Oh-- you shouldn't have a problem with her. You can tell her it's an order from me. She should listen. She's... emotionally, she's not very well developed, but she is intelligent. She understands what Uncle wants her to do.

Alright, that's fair. [ Terra doesn't mind waiting! He's many things but impatient...not so much. ] And she probably knows that I'm not the type to lie about that sort of thing anyway--I mean, since she at least knows about us too.

[ ...That's actually a huge relief to him. ]

I guess at this point it's now a matter of grabbing her as soon as possible and doing it, and then we should be in the clear, right?

[newhire]

Yes... I don't anticipate you having any trouble. And once things are settled, I'll... I'll gather you all and... and we'll all talk. About that... and... any other questions you have.

[buriedearth]

Sounds like a plan, then.

[ Terra thinks he doesn't have anything else for her at the moment, but... ]

... It was good talking to you again, Vivi. I mean it. If there's anything else you want to let me know, just tell me now, or we can just save it for later.

[newhire]

I'm glad. It was... I'm really glad you came.

[It's been... a tough, lonely time.]

If something happens, you can still find me here. But... hopefully we'll be able to talk face to face before that has to happen.

[buriedearth]

[ Terra's glad he did too, and it shows--not just in his voice but by how more chipper he is. Though, now he's finally going to prepare to exit and head off to his own duties.

He hopes to encounter Megumi soon, but if not tonight, there's always tomorrow (or Tuesday if he can't manage Monday.) ]

I hope so too.

...Have a good evening, Vivi.

[ He'll wait until she bids her goodbyes before he does finally leave. ]

[newhire]

Good night Terra.

[It feels like... everything's started moving again. There's somewhere to go, something to do-- and she actually feels ready to face it. She has at least one ally that remains. That's more than she had when this all began. So... if she has to start over. So be it.]
