_hello! You have reached Shinoa's contract. This shit can't be taken out of my house so I'll respond when I next return! Calls will be recorded, please leave your message after the beep. Or just send a text message! That might be easier.

BEEP_

[Shinoa looks through the pages- she could say the same for these, too.]

No. It was a girl, that's all I know.

So.... what now? This town is a bad idea, but the places outside we can go to suck more.

After a while we could call another meeting, but... [haish] I think it's just gonna go in circles again.

If you want to, be my guest. I'm not doing that anymore.

[ Shinoa was right on one front, anyway. ]

At least we know now. If you get the chance to leave the town, don't. It's worse in every way out there.

[She fidgets. Honestly, she doesn't want to either- she isn't even sure what road they're supposed to be going down, let alone how to lead people down it. Why couldn't things have stuck to just killing Nightmares?]

If we stay in here though, eventually they'll screw us over again like they did with- all that stuff.

[dokkans]

They can try.

[ An unimpressed glance over at Shinoa, arms folded. ]

If your options are to run or to fight back, why the hell would anyone want to run? I'd rather be dead and know that I fought against my enemies than alive and having ran away from it. Whatever you do is up to you.
