I'll keep this short and to the point to give you guys time to strategize, catch up, all of that.

Congrats on your Magatus missions. Looks like everything's been cleared out as best as we can, but the region's been evacuated thanks to a couple of factors.

The new problem is we just added a bunch of people to city limits.

I've got some good news and some bad news.

Bad news: need some people out in Pesgare to do some deepdiving and recovery. It doesn't look like there's anything out there that'll kill you, but I need something from down there to stabilize Recollé itself.

Good news: got the subway working. Did you know it was just about coding? That's a little crazy to me and okay, I might have found out on accident, but…whatever was blocking exits from the city was just a false creation.

It means getting out of here and checking out the progress outside. The trains will be ready for departure in about a week, I'll get some maps drawn up and everything. I could really use some of you on location scouting.

Finally…who knows about machinery? We've got a problem we should probably look into, but keeping track of that eye's a huge pain in the ass.

Discuss, get in touch with me, prepare. You know the drill.

Fair enough...sorry just...I hate how I try to connect with people and geuinely go through some hard shit with them and...poof...fate just rips them away...

One of them taught me how to make the bread pudding I made for you at Christmas...I hope that happy memory is in her soul like you said...she was really happy about that, even laughed at some of my jokes, so, at least an "aww, he is trying to be funny"...

and I swear Sakura is probably the biggest goody two shoe ever, almost would bet a 20 she's never stolen a cookie in this life or her last one, her hunting her cards or whatever probably included some property damage, but no cookies were harmed in the production of her magic.

It is hard, but at the same time, the effect they had on you doesn't go away. They might not remember what happened, but you do.

So take what you learned from connecting to them. And the next time you try to connect with someone, maybe it'll be a little easier.

Yeah...pretty sure that I've changed for the better just wish they could have stuck around, seen it and grow with me.

On better news, people have stopped saying I'm dead! And I don't have an eyeball on my left hand anymore either.

Then we just need to make sure we keep them safe, and maybe someday in the future they'll be able to see for themselves.

That's a definite improvement, but uh what eyeball on your left hand?

True :)

Wait...I didn't tell you about that?! Ops! ummm, I woke up one morning and had an eyeball on my left hand and took a picture, it was just for a week but still creeped me out every morning.

Which surprise, the rumours somehow managed to spin a story of me joining some fire eyeball cult, which REALLY, what the hell?!

[Al sends Li-Na a pic of him looking not amused at the camera, while an eyeball is at the back of his left hand]

[that is certainly a picture]

Well that is rather disconcerting. I'm glad it's gone now.

Yeah...I had to wear gloves that were a bit big for me...the eye would look around, blink and I wanted it to see as little as possible.

Completely freaked out when I woke up one morning and saw it.
