Hello Maya, it's Rachel.

My phone number is 555-7452. If you want to email me, my email address is diamondspell52@gmail.com.

[strongestheart]

Has anyone ever told you your phone number sounds like something out of a movie. It's always 555-something.

[clear_eyes]

A few times. I never noticed it before someone pointed it out.

Anyway. I hope this is all okay? Me sharing this with you I mean.

[strongestheart]

It's fine, it's fine! We're dealing with a lot of weird stuff, right??? Better to be able to contact people outside this whole... thing. Just in case anymore Twilight Zone stuff wants to hop out at us.

[clear_eyes]

That's right. And if someone tries to make a case, it'll be better if more of us are on the same page, right?

Do you want to share yours too? If not, it's fine. I just thought it was worth it to ask.

[strongestheart]

Absolutely, I will! But if you don't mind, I'll just... text them to you.

So that Big Brother doesn't get them from here.

[You know, like what you just did, Rachel.]

[clear_eyes]

That's fine, Maya. But I wouldn't be helping you if I didn't tell you that if they have your phone and computer, they probably already have that.

[strongestheart]

[...]

Heh, I knew that! I was just testing you!

[...sigh...]

[clear_eyes]

I'm sure that's the case, Maya. But hey, it's not as important as long as we get to the same endpoint, right?

[strongestheart]

Oh, yeah. Yeah. TOTALLY.

[oh god she just wants to curl into a ball]

We're totally on the same page, and I'm glad that applies to a bunch of people!

[clear_eyes]

Mm. Let's just look out for each other, and hope everything works out for the best.

[strongestheart]

Right, right! So long as we watch each other's backs, it'll be fine!

[At least, that sounds good.

To be honest, Maya's not really used to "watching someone's back." Or having someone watch hers, for that matter.

Even if it benefits her, it also feels kind of selfless all the same. Which feels weirdly...

Nice.]

[clear_eyes]

That's the spirit! You watch mine and I'll watch yours!

[It does for Rachel as well, even if she also feels a bit overwhelmed by it all.]

[strongestheart]

That's the idea!

...not that I... really know what I'm watching for right now, but I'm sure we can figure that out!

[clear_eyes]

Honestly? That makes two of us.

But I think we'll know it when we see it.

[strongestheart]

I'm sure we will.

Hopefully it's not something that bad! There's nothing hurting in hoping that much, right?

[clear_eyes]

No, not at all!

You know, you're actually the first person my age I've ever shared my phone number with.

[strongestheart]

Oh, really? Is that so?

[Rachel, that sounds extremely... sad. EVEN MAYA HAS SHARED HER NUMBER.

And... never gotten called back.

Which... actually, might be sadder. But that's beside the point.]

Well, hey - if there's one good thing this app has done, that's putting yourself out there more, huh?

[clear_eyes]

Well, I've always been a kind of private person.

[And you know, crippling emotional anxiety.]

If this stupid app is going to drag me out of that I'm glad I've found someone who will watch my back.

[strongestheart]

Well, a lot of geeks are like that, right?? So it's fine!

[Well, she meant that to be encouraging.]

[clear_eyes]

Ah... I guess I am kind of a geek, huh?

[strongestheart]

SURE!

[she's helping]

But that's not a bad thing! Own what you are!

[Not that she's one to speak, not even knowing what she is herself.]

[clear_eyes]

[After at least several minutes.]

You aren't going to make fun of me?

[strongestheart]

Eh?

Why would I do something like that?

I mean, there's tons of stuff people could make fun of me for. I'm sure they do!

[clear_eyes]

Nononono. You wouldn't do something like that.

I guess I just worry too much. I said I was a private person but I've also kind of assumed the worst about how people would see me, so. Yeah. It's something silly I build up in my own head, probably.

And I can't speak for anyone else but I'd never make fun of you, Maya.
