SWITCHBOARD

[transmittable]

If you'd like to ask the Transmitter something over the phone, go right ahead! The Transmitter will answer the phone as soon as she's available. Leaving messages is impossible, given how old these phones are, but you should be able to reach her at almost all hours.

It's...fine. Time's strange, after all. Time is... Time isn't as straightforward as people think...

This is what I meant, before. Don't change. I don't understand it, but I think it's nicer to be like this.

[ Time...it reminds him of-- no, he can't remember right now and it makes his head hurt. ]

I'll do my best not to, I promise. [ He doesn't understand either, but he feels like a part of him does.]

Will you let me have another date with you?

[transmittable]

[ A brief pause. To be fair, it's shorter than any of her other hesitations. ]

Yeah. I'd like that.

[ He hadn't even realized it, but he had been holding the receiver tightly in his hand.]

I'm glad, I really enjoyed our time together. I'll try to have a gift for you next time too.

Goodnight, and sweet dreams Mita-chan. [ Transmitter sounds too stiff, he's decided.]

[transmittable]

[ Once again, Ryoji's treated to an increase in feedback and that faint deep, deep breath. ]

Good...night, Amiable.
