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.

Comments

[transmittable]

[ ... ]

I think I'd like that a lot right now.

[cadmiums]

...I'm glad.

[ He's quiet for a moment, not really knowing what to say. Somehow those words meant more to him than anything she's said so far, but he can't place why. It makes him happy yes, but it also feels like-- ah, he can't remember.]

I'm really glad I'm here, despite everything.

[transmittable]

...I'm sorry. I'm sorry it had to be- like this, you know? Like... That there has to be a "despite" and that I can't...stop it.

[cadmiums]

It's OK. [ He wants to say more, but all the thoughts are getting jumbled up inside his head. It's clear that he means it, though.]

Let's just look forward to our next date instead.

[transmittable]

Okay. ...Alright, I will. I already am.

[cadmiums]

Good, me too.

Until our next date, Mita-chan. [ He realizes in this moment that he can't very well send her a heart through voice, but if she's still looking he'll blow her a quick kiss with a smile. Close enough, maybe.]

[transmittable]

[ Well. Before he hangs up he'll be able to hear a small gasp and stammer on the other end of the phone. She definitely saw it. ]

Until next time, uh- ...Amiable.

[ Almost. There's always the third date. ]
