Saw talk about us getting sent back to where we came from.

[...Not that she doesn't understand why, 'cause, well... hey. Everyone's life got kind of interrupted by being pulled here, right? Plenty of folks probably left a shitload behind. But... pff, well. This is more just. Biting the bullet and getting her own thoughts out 'cause she can.]

I got reminded of where I came from by what happened with the plants. What it reminded me of got a lot worse, though. I don't know how much of a universal constant this is, but I was 3 or 4 when the Raccoon City incident happened on Earth. Plus I've been trying to move on from some things a long time.

I wonder how alone I am saying I wouldn't shed a tear if I couldn't go back.

[...Well, that's some... kinda presumptive phrasing, there, Zoe...?

...But, well. Suffice to say...

...She's just tryin'a speak her head, out there. Just type it out, and collapse onto her forearm as she watches text just... tick across the screen...!]

Zoe, the people I work for and I, were trained for this kind of thing.

I promise you if I can get there, and I can't handle it, I know people who can.

[Of course this all depends on what happens when they get set home, but sherry really really hopes she can keep this promise for Zoe's sake.]

[ -- Ah -- !

A little -- thin, halting? Like she's not -- sure whether or not she should be keeping this a secret, or looking over her shoulder just in case she should - all -- through airy thought -- ]

-- Are you with the government -- ...?

-- O-or the B.S.A.A...?

[SO DOES ZOE, THIS... ACTUALLY SOUNDS PROMISING, GOD...]

[Sherry's tone grows softer, trying to be encouraging instead of firm.]

The government, but I've worked with the BSCAA before.
