I can't just keep a lamb in my room.

Iris!

Why's that?

[ She honestly wants to know. She could use an insider opinion. ]

[inhell]

Because I want to go home.

[notdreaming]

[ She pulls her knees up to her chin. ]

Yeah. Me too.

[inhell]

....oh.

Right.

[ She remembers what Kara said. About home being gone. ]

[notdreaming]

I wish there was another way. A way where nobody would get hurt.

video;

[inhell]

There isn't. Ever.

[notdreaming]

I'm starting to get that impression. I suppose we should be grateful for the chances we're given. [ She supposes, but she doesn't really buy it. ]

video;

[inhell]

Grateful?

video;

[notdreaming]

Yeah. [ At this point Kara chooses to focus on her own angst. She is a teenager, after all. ]

I'm alive, aren't I? My family and friends are dead, my planet doesn't exist anymore, and I'm the last person alive with any memory of our culture, but I'm alive. [ The sarcasm is scathing. ] Thank Rao that someone is here to keep the memory alive. No pressure or anything.

Can you kill whoever did it?

[notdreaming]

[ She shakes her head helplessly. ]

Nobody did it. The core was unstable. Anyone who might have been able to fix it was too late.

video;

[inhell]

And you're a warden so you can fix it.

[notdreaming]

Wouldn't you? [ If everything you knew was suddenly gone in the blink of an eye, who wouldn't give anything to get it all back? ]

video;

[inhell]

I don't know.

[ She doesn't want to say 'yes'. ]

video;

[notdreaming]

I love my family. I miss my friends, and my home. All I want is to go back.

[inhell]

[ And here, Ellie just, abruptly, hangs up. ]

video;

[notdreaming]

Ellie?

[ Welp, so much for that. ]
