[I'm very busy.]

I know how to solve it... but we need to take care of the time travel first.

[westedge]

Are the two things actually connected? Or both of them showed up independently?

[factoring]

A bit connected. The Eaters, the thing that possessed my assistant's friend, devour mental data. Her is in a bizarre state because of her half-cyber body.

Solving one allows me to solve the other.

[westedge]

The...Eaters. [ sounds wild, frankly. ] Sounds like you have your work cut out for you in any case. Even with a half-cyber body making it a little more disjointed.

[factoring]

[She does so much work every single day.]

It'll be over soon, just as long as I can get home.

[I'll do whatever I can for my assistant.]

[westedge]

...we'll get you home. I don't know what's going to happen next or how it'll happen, but this isn't going to be the end of things. Just remember that.

[factoring]

[She's so tired, but she does offer him a small smile.]

I know. I'm willing to trust the people here.

[westedge]

It's more than we deserve at this rate. [ ... ] Are you going to stay out here for a while longer?

[factoring]

... Yes, I think so.

[She doesn't really have anywhere else to be, right?

So she might as well enjoy the park.]

[westedge]

[ there's a nod. ]

...I'm not sleeping tonight, I think. So if you want company again later, text me. I'll come back.

[factoring]

Do you have trouble sleeping on Saturday nights?

[westedge]

[ he just kind of laughs uneasily. ]

I've had trouble sleeping pretty much for...a while now. Even before here. It's okay.

[factoring]

If you're certain. I won't pry.

[She probably does need to sleep, considering what's awaiting her tomorrow.]

[westedge]

And I am. [ but... ] Just try to take it easy tonight while you can. That's all I ask.

[factoring]

I'm not planning on doing anything strenuous.
