Mariko. Mariko.
Why are you typing

You’re not. Okay.
Focus on something past the text window. Let it close. Swap back to your phone.

It's the cyberbrain. I can show you what it looked like when I got my head scanned. You're going to be okay.

I didn't know when you were going to get one.

[There's another beat as she has to process that second sentence. It was something she would have thought through but it's strange for Togusa to have ...not warned her. The shoe is on the other foot and she's not sure what do with that information other than recoil at yet another modem ring in her skull]

How doI disconnect it>

Focus your eyes down and to the right, like you're intending to close a bunch of windows out. You should see everything go away except for a little network indicator.

x x xxxxxxx

I think I got it.

Re: Text

[standalonehuman]

Okay. Good. Do you want me to come to you for this next part, or keep it over text? I can help you get used to it. Figured out a few tricks.

[megatechbody]

Later.

I'll call you later.

[standalonehuman]

Can we talk? Is this okay? I didn't want to bother you if it wasn't.

Re: 2/10

[megatechbody]

Yeah. Sorry. It was just weird to adjust. The ringing’s stopped at least

Re: 2/10

[standalonehuman]

I need to talk to you about something. But I dont know if you’ve remembered anything about it. I’ve been putting this off because I dont want to be the one to spark this off.

But not saying anything is starting to feel..

Wrong.

Re: 2/10

[megatechbody]

I get it. I've been keeping things close to my chest to remember?

We should catch up.

Re: 2/10

[standalonehuman]

Come by the office? I’m a little more comfortable there right now.

I’m starting to.. Something is going wrong.

Re: 2/10

[megatechbody]

I'll be there in a little while.
