Cole? It's been a while! [ She'd recognize the voice, though, or so she assumes. ] I didn't realize how many people have gone and come back. I...wonder who else hasn't returned. [ How could she not have noticed this? She'd been thinking so much about how people might go back home at will that she'd completely missed those going back and forth seemingly at random. ]

I'm okay. Just wondering about these things. [ Aerith isn't often one to divulge how she's feeling, and not through this weird method of communication, besides. ] How are you?
