[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.

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

I look like me. There's buildings.

[Helpful]

Okay, which buildings are there?

I don't know what they are.

Okay, that probably rules out the library, the clinic, any of the shops. I'll look for you around the apartments and houses. Is that okay?

If you want to.

Of course I want to. I wouldn't have offered if I didn't.

I'm hard to see, sometimes.

So am I. Part of the whole reaper thing. Just--am I getting any closer?

I don't know. I can't see you.

Okay. Well, since you're not describing yourself, I'll describe myself.

I'm white, blonde, 5'3", wearing a red tshirt and jeans.

Alright. Am I looking for you now?

I guess so? I'm by the library right now, so I'll just stay put. Okay?

Okay.

Are you getting closer?

I don't know.

Can you describe for me what you see?

Buildings.

Which ones?

The dark ones.

So ones that no one's living in?

Maybe they are.

Maybe I'll go back to trying to find you. You sound lost.
