You’re fine to go. Should be harder to be followed too, for what that’s worth to you.

@Valiance

I appreciate the thoughtfulness. Ciao!

Somewhere peaceful.

@Valiance

I’ll try to stick the landing next time.
*Points to the bubble*
Do you need to turn this off before I leave, or is it fine as-is?

*The expression in my eyes betrays a returns smile underneath my mask*
I figured as much would help.

@Valiance

It does, more than you realize. See you next time, then?

*Raises a veil once more around us, just like there was when we initially met up*
I’m not sure how much I’m at liberty to say on his behalf, but I feel like you deserve to at least know that I know he’s doing fine.

@Valiance

*Smiles genuinely*
Good. That’s all I need to know.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Meta>

Didn’t think so. No harm in asking though.

@Valiance

Then on the same note, has Data contacted you recently by any chance?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Meta>

*Glances around while nodding*
Say… No chance you know what happened here? Prism only had a vague idea.

@Valiance

*Frowns*
Sorry, for better or worse I don't keep an eye on things unless Prism or Machina are there.

Who knows how spent I’d be without it? Sooner than later, a big one is in order. Everyone invited, plus ones. The works.

@Valiance

That sounds like a wonderful plan to me. Let's make it a point.

To think we had just finished one before this whole chapter started.

@Valiance

Ouch. Not great timing. But I hope it gave you some much-needed energy.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Meta>

Next time. Hopefully with a different obstacle.

@Valiance

Do yourself a favor and take a nice vacation once it all ends.

Thank you both for coming to help. For what it was worth, you did help me find something important, even if unexpected and related to a separate problem.

@Valiance

I'm sorry I couldn't do more.
*Playfully smiles*
Maybe next time you'll need brute force instead of finesse.
