[ He can tell that's not really the whole story, but-- hey, it's more than he expected. He thought he'd get a half-assed deflection or, like, "I fell down some stairs" or something shitty.
So it's enough for now. Maybe if they were on better terms he'd press, but he doesn't know how flexible the guy is. Doesn't know his breaking point.

The girl's got the strength of a Super Saiyan, but she was unconscious when I last saw her.
[And then she disappeared.]
Her picture is still on the phone, though. So I know she's still here.

Few people I knew were acting seriously weird. Same shit get to your business partner, I'm guessing?
no subject
I think she's ashamed of what she's done. Too ashamed to face me.
[A high-pitched laugh circles in his throat, painful, sharp.]
It wasn't even her fault.

Hey. Maybe she's just glad for the break. I mean, I've been talkin' to you for like, what, a few minutes? And I'm pretty sure I need a breather, too.
no subject
What if that's exactly it? She's taking a break from him, isn't she. Sakamoto can be such a burden sometimes.]
Maybe she did! The gal works pretty hard. Super hard! She needs a sick day.
[He clears his throat, well-rehearsed at this. Pretending, smiling.
It's getting harder.]
Well! Sounds like that's all you'll need from me. Take a deep breath, Peter. Inhale, exhale!
[And the feed ends.]
