Did you experience it, too?

[She's a bit unsure of what he means. Did she experience that hell in the elevator? Or is it something else he means? She chews on the pen she's about to write with, thanking whatever rules this hell hole that it's a pen and not a shard of bone... But it's a pen, only a pen, with black ink. She couldn't stand using red after that night, not yet anyhow.]

Did I experience what? That nightmare of that hellhole elevator? Yes of course I did. Or do you mean something else? Something apart from that?

[cantacquityou]

[So she did. That then may mean...]






...Yes. That's what I had meant.

[silentrunning]

[She writes again.]

Yes. I was there with you. Do not worry. I will not tell anyone what happened that night.

[cantacquityou]

If you recall that ordeal, that that must mean that... Phoenix did, too.

[silentrunning]

[She shrugs, though he can't see it of course.]

Likely. And I recall the promise I made to Phoenix. I intend upon keeping it.

[cantacquityou]

I dont see why it's necessary. He is alive, after all.

[silentrunning]

[Her writing shows up boldly against the white page, like she's pressing down harder on her pen.]

I keep my promises.

[Sound familiar, Miles?]
