[He too heard the broadcast and he has questions he can't stifle:]

Please, if it wouldn't be too much trouble, could someone give me guidance on what is expected of us? Releasing my...my regrets...

I'm not sure I...can.

[Just like that. In a blink. How can anyone? He closes his eyes, expression pained.]

As for being here before... Do you think that is true?

[His head aches and he rubs at his temple.]

Our lives are complicated enough, I think, without time misbehaving.

Perhaps if we had known sooner we could have done what needs to be done.

[gentledawn]

The regrets...need to be forgotten. For now. That is the only way.

[theatrics]

How do you suggest we accomplish that?

[gentledawn]

We focus on the bonds we have made.

(( On his end of the device Ouyang huffs a dry laugh. In the months he's been here he's only opened up to meeting others face-to-face within the last month. ))

You make it sound easy.

[gentledawn]

It won't be, but...

I am here for you. I am sure there are others, too.

[theatrics]

There is... someone.

[gentledawn]

Spend time with them.

[theatrics]

He has others who are more deserving of his affections.

[gentledawn]

Then join them too. You might make new connections.

[theatrics]

I am not comfortable around others.

[gentledawn]

My soulmate suffers from the same difficulty.

If there is one who is special to you, ask them to remain near. I do not think that selfish.

[theatrics]

I have been here four months and he is the first person I have agreed to meet face-to-face

[gentledawn]

He must be special.

[theatrics]

He is to me.

[gentledawn]

Then speak to him. He will understand.

[theatrics]

Perhaps I will.

[gentledawn]

I wish you luck.

[theatrics]

You have my thanks.
