Something right out of a painting - we're gonna go visit this place, this -... Shit, I don't remember what they called it, but it's this little town about half an hour out. ██ says the people there are nice enough, y'know? ... You'd like it, I think, if it wasn't so fucking toasty.

█████████: Are you sure that's -... I just mean, what if it's not safe?

███████: They wouldn't let us go if they thought it wasn't, right?


[Several seconds of silence.]


███████: It'll be okay. Yeah? And - and we're ready if it isn't.

█████████: I know. I know. It's just so fucking hard to know, anymore.

███████: Hey, don't I get it. It's been quiet, though. Really quiet. And the sun's shining. It's actually -... if it makes you feel any better, it's actually pretty peaceful.

█████████: It sounds ... nice.

███████: Yeah. ... yeah. It is.


[Several seconds of silence.]


███████: Crap - I've gotta go. Look. It's about, shit, just after noon-thirty over here. So - you get some shuteye and we can pick this back up in a few hours. ... If, uh. If I can get to the phone, I mean. Okay?

█████████: Yeah. Yeah, God, no - don't let me keep you. Be careful. Please - promise me you'll be careful.

███████: I promise - of course I promise. ... I love you.

█████████: I love you too.
