FROM: hinata.shouyou@cdc.org Though... Kouha was on the transfer list, too. [which in itself was something, wasn't it.] You've got to wonder what they need all those people for.

FROM: cecil.guy@cdc.org
Maybe they need the backup, just like we did with that sky monster. [Not counting the fact that those new recruits would up and vanish soon after things had settled down, of course. These transfers seemed more of the permanent sort.]
[Hinata's right about that. It's why he's sorely tempted to send a message himself, despite knowing he'll never receive an answer.
It's no different from back home, no different from chasing after ghosts. It's all a futile endeavor. But he wants to try. For Kouha, for Mitsuru, for Luke and all his friends. He promised to.]

Well, it's hard to find a peace of mind in a place like this.
[that's true. it's a nice thought, when one wasn't busy being bitter-- and it's difficult to be bitter in the face of Guy's easy assurance, even over text.]

[that's...]
FROM: hinata.shouyou@cdc.org You'll write a letter?
I will. Even if it goes nowhere, it's the thought that counts.
[He'll be careful not to write too much, given the channels it's being delivered through. But he does want to do this, even if he winds up backing out on the decision.]
FROM: hinata.shouyou@cdc.org It'll be good to ask if those temporary recruits can get letters, too. Although with Warriorhead and Armada missing, I'm not sure who we'd talk to about it.

Yup. He was on the list. Dirk Strider.

A chicken? Shouldn't that go for rations?
[He's joking!!!! Sorta.]

too late it's engraved in there for centuries
So the chicken's off-limits. That's a shame.

He's a skilled guy
FROM: hinata.shouyou@cdc.org
The type that'd make for a good addition anywhere
no subject
Do you miss him?
no subject
Of course
FROM: hinata.shouyou@cdc.org
Don't you?
no subject
Like you said: he can take care of himself.
FROM: cecil.guy@cdc.org
I'm a little worried, but... he'd probably tease both of us for it if he knew.
no subject
Definitely
FROM: hinata.shouyou@cdc.org
He'd probably hit us with pillows, flip his hair and say HMPH we shouldn't worry about it, he's plenty strong!!
FROM: hinata.shouyou@cdc.org
You know?
no subject
Heh, you got that right. So let's do our best until we see him again.
FROM: cecil.guy@cdc.org
We'll be able to brag to him all the stuff he's missed out on when we do.
no subject
I doubt we'll see him again
[... but,]

Could send a letter, though

You think we'd get a response?

No
FROM: hinata.shouyou@cdc.org
They don't even guarantee the message reaches the person
FROM: hinata.shouyou@cdc.org
Isn't that great? All this technology and they refuse to deliver a message
ok no real tags now
Have you ever sent any messages, Hinata?
way to be rational, guy
I knew a few people who have
It's more about the personal closure, I guess
rational is his middle name

I noticed.

FROM: cecil.guy@cdc.org
We could ask Gliese or Mothership.
[Both are officers he's cautious towards, however.]

Mothership might.
We could send her a text once we've got the letters ready.

Sounds good. All right, let's give this a shot!
[It's so much easier to sound enthusiastic over text, thankfully.]
