STATUS:[SECURITY LOG TRANSCRIPT<br />FORWARD SECURITY BARRIER<br />4/50/35 00:30] W! - Well. What do you need?
S! - Oh.
S! - Oh, nothing, I just... noticed you were sitting out here in the cold, on the wall, and I don't know.
S! - Thought you could use hot chocolate.
FG_MAISIE:[left] W! - Hm. Thank you.
CLEARFG:[left] STATUS:[SECURITY LOG TRANSCRIPT<br />FORWARD SECURITY BARRIER<br />4/50/35 00:31] W! - You're not afraid of me?
S! - Oh, uh. I mean, people say all kinds of things about you, but.
S! - We're all on the same side, aren't we?
W! - That's the idea, anyway.

S! - I thought it'd be...<i>less</i> boring out here.
S! - Not that I'm complaining.
W! - What're they even telling you on the home front about what happens out here?
W! - Not that much to write home about, most months.
W! - I mean, if anyone here *could* write home, anyway.
STATUS:[SECURITY LOG TRANSCRIPT<br />FORWARD SECURITY BARRIER<br />4/50/35 00:32] S! - Not much. I mean—
S! - It's a little embarrassing, but most of what I know is from Miracle Girls Vanguard.
W! - Damn, it's been ages since I watched any of that! I used to be near-religious about it.
W! - I hid it from my high school friends. Always told them I had tutoring on Thursdays because I didn't want to have to wait for reruns.
S! - Right?
W! - I'm kind of impressed it's had so much staying power. I would have thought it'd be too retro.
S! - Too retro...?
S! - I mean, the fiftieth anniversary remake was really big...
S! - ...
W! - ...
W! - You forgot, didn't you.
STOP_ECHOES MODE:monogatari - A silence so perfect you could hear a pin drop.
W! - That I'm not human.
W! - Don't worry. I won't.
