[Cole's been doing some thinking. Always a dangerous proposition, but unavoidable, really. It hasn't been all that long since the fire, but...well. Maybe it could have been worse, but it could have been a lot better too.

At least he's managed to make this audio. Probably entirely by accident.]

I can't tell if it's better. Is it better? [He doesn't specify what "it" is. But there's a pause for a few moments while he considers what else to say. It's hard to verbalize what he's thinking, his thoughts pulled in a thousand ways at once like they always are. He doesn't make sense at the best of times, and now he's trying to find words that probably don't exist.]

The whispers are worries, but the calls are clarion and confused. Did I do the right thing? Is it good at all?

[Another pause, longer than than the last one--almost long enough to wonder whether Cole has hung up.]

Maybe this time it's different.

I have to. I can't not help.

That sounds exhausting.

Why?

Helping. There's always another person who needs help.

Yes. But they need it.

You need to take care of yourself a little, too.

But I'm not a person.

Neither am I, but I still take some "me" time.

I'm alright. I don't need it.

What do you need?

I don't know. Most people don't ask.

Well, maybe they should.

Maybe. But they don't.

I'll ask. What do you need? I'll try to help you get it.

I don't know.

Where are you right now? If you don't mind me asking.

Somewhere. A place. It doesn't matter.

It matters to me where you are.

Are you looking?

Yes, I'm out looking for you right now. What do you look like?

I look like me. [It's not a lie]

Okay, maybe be a little more specific?

How?

Like, what do you look like? What's near to you? Stuff like that.

I look like me. There's buildings.

[Helpful]
