Nancy? Have you--heard from Bess? I can't find her, and the network is acting like she never existed.

[chasedshadows]

No, and it did the same thing when I tried, too.

[anthropomorphize]

I'm worried about her, Nance.

[chasedshadows]

Where are you?

[anthropomorphize]

Headed from the apartment. Figured I'd go look for her in the down.

[chasedshadows]

Go back to the apartment, I'll meet you there.

You're not going to find her, Ace. They sent her home.

[anthropomorphize]

what do you mean 'sent her home?'

[ he thinks he knows, but he doesn't want to believe it, so he's going to play dumb. if he plays dumb, it's not true ]

[chasedshadows]

You know what I mean, she's not here. It doesn't matter how hard you look, or who you ask.

This is what they do.

[anthropomorphize]

You mean like they dragged us here--

They can just
Send you home.

Whenever they want to?
She was just starting to find her feet.

[chasedshadows]

They did it to me, too.

I didn't even remember I was ever here until they brought me back.

[anthropomorphize]

So you think--

--you think they sent her home?

Like home, home, I mean.

[chasedshadows]

I think it's a strong possibility. I can't stand to think about them having done anything different.
