If you say you can catch me

[The comm clicks on in the middle of some one gasping sharply, followed by a strangled cry.]

Rei! REIKO!

[Another cry, this one more like a scream, and several things go crashing, including what sounds suspiciously like a body hitting the floor from a height.]

... Rei... ? Y-you wouldn't wake up...

I... [Rei coughs, breathing harshly] n... nightmare...

... some nightmare. ... Rei... are you okay? You look... like you're gonna be sick or something.

[There's a long silence from Rei, but it's obvious she's trying to catch her breath, and eventually she hauls herself back on to her bed.]

Y-yeah... I'm okay... [another pause] My comm recorded that, I think...

O-oh... yeah, it looks like it did.

[sigh] That would figure... I'm uh... I'm gonna go for a walk, alright?

Without me?

I'm not going far. Promise.

[shuffling for a few minutes, and the comm is picked up somewhere along the way before a door opens and closes.]

[Locked to Ashton]

Um... Ashton... if this is a bad time, I'm sorry... but can I see you?

Rei... what are you doing out here?

Thinking...

About...?

*sigh* I wonder how they're doing...
