We were separated. Mana and I first, then Alice, then you. Now... now we're together again. We've missed you, Makoto.

[And then the question she was hoping wouldn't come up for a bit longer. Now she has started shaking, and she's quiet for a moment, fishing for an answer that won't make Makoto slap her.]

All three of us are a little traumatized by the whole thing, and I'm skipping a lot of stuff, but... we're okay. Tired, stressed, I've got a hole in my back, but we're alive, and that's... that's what's important.
