[ IGNORING... THE FIRST BIT... ]

Regular out of it. He told me to go and it made sense at the time. Sort of.

[phaseshifter]

Okay. Do you recognise the house you're in? Is it the one we've been switching to?

[headjacked]

I think so?

[ He takes a moment to breathe, heart hammering, as actually take in his surroundings in a more meaningful way. ]

No. Yeah, yeah, it definitely is.

[phaseshifter]

Alright. Then we know where you are, so there's no problem.

[ Which might just be the biggest lie she's ever told in her life. Her vision is swimming at the edges and she can't breathe and ]

As soon as lockdown ends, I'll be right over. It's only a few hours, and I'm sure this is all just an innocent misunderstanding.
If he *does* try to examine you, just insist that he wait until tomorrow. Or at least call me first. But don't stress about it, okay?

[ Thing is, he knows exactly what game she's playing. She always does this when he's freaking out, and she's laying it on especially thick. That means it's bad.

Still. He has to return the favor. Has to make it seem like he's okay, even though he's doubled over and breathing erratically. ]

I'm fine, I'm not stressing. I don't want another seizure.

[phaseshifter]

Good. That's the spirit. Just a few hours, remember.
I'm sure we can find something to do for that long if you're too unsettled to sleep. Singing through Taylor Swift's entire back catalogue should shave a decent chunk of it away, right? ♥

[ He sniffles, takes some time to regulate his breathing, and switches to voice. ]

♪ I stay up too late, got nothing in my brain... ♪

[ Okay, he. He chokes a little bit at the end there. ]

Oh geez.

[ TSWIFT HOW CAN YOU BETRAY THE HYPERS THIS WAY

Gonna switch to voice too. So they match. And because hearing soothing stuff is probably better than reading it. ]

Okay, maybe skip that one. Or we can skip singing altogether if you're feeling sniffly? Whatever makes you feel better. I'm here no matter what.

[headjacked]

We can just talk. Just pleeeeeease don't go any-

[ He hears something from the next room, freezes, and starts hastily going through his messages. This could be it. ]

Never mind, I-I gotta --

[ Silence. And nothing else. ]
