[Eighteenth Cord]: [Locked from Hostiles, locked from Miku's comm][Audio]

*sounds of the garage in the background*

So, um. A few things...

I'm sorry I scared everyone so badly with what happened in Tetha. I'll try to be more careful from now on. Family, thank you for listening to Greg. I'm sorry it was so horrible, having to wait at home for word that I was okay, but trust me, they are not the kind of mons you want to mess with. They were horrible to me, and I know that if everyone came to try and save me they would have been worse. They-

*something clangs. She goes quiet, but continues after a moment*

They were instantly supsicious of me because I work for DATS. I still don't know what that was all about, but I'm not worrying over it.

Kats, thank you so much for helping me with my arm and the burns. I'm doing much better now. If there's anything I can do for you to repay your kindness, please let me know.

I'd also like to ask two things of everyone.

One, please don't tell Miku after she's out of data-freeze. She'll just fret over it. We can tell her eventually, but I'd rather it not be the first thing she hears when she wakes up.

Second, this is going to sound so weird...

Don't... don't go after the duck. I still don't know his name - No, Caboose, the other one- I still don't know his name, but... when the police showed up, he actually saved me. They were going to take me in, but he vouched that we didn't know eachother. If he hadn't done that, I would have been locked up for sure. He could have kept quiet, but he didn't, and in some way... I think he was trying to make up for what he did to me.

So. Um. I think that's everything.

... oh, no, wait! Onizuka! Let's go out after I get off work. *giggle* I'm in the mood for Chinese for some reason.

Yeah. That's it no-...

Caboose. What are you do- ... no wait, that's not the right wr-

.. um.

Can.. you tell me your honest opinion of Onizuka-sensei...?

I'm sorry to just drop that on you but... well, you know... I hear things, and people seem to think it's odd that we're even together...

Well, you want someone to be honest, I'm your girl.

Frankly, Onizuka, at first impression, seems to be a horndog, but he actually has a good head on his shoulders. Despite his raunchiness and otherwise inappropriate times considering his flirtatious behavior, I'd say he's a good person for you because he's helping you out to become a better person, just like Greg's doing for me.

Honestly?

I approve of your relationship and that's saying a lot considering I'm the surrogate mom.

R-really...?

That... that means a lot coming from you, Sabine. I feel much better now.

It's frustrating, feeling like I have to keep justifying it. B-but if you really think that... I'm just not going to care what anyone else thinks anymore! I love him, that's what counts!

Really. I mean every word I said.

I'm glad you do. Greg is about thirteen to fourteen years my senior, but despite the age gap, we don't care 'cause we're that much in love. So, we say screw the stupid stereotype and just live our lives as the nerds we are.

And that's exactly it! Keep on telling yourself that no matter what!

[drunkkareoke.livejournal.com]

Yes! Exactly!

Thank you so much, Sabine...

You're very welcome, Haku.
