[So here goes. He can't say he's looking forward to this but then again people weren't looking forward to having parts of their soul ripped away from them either, were they.

Flynn's voice is quiet, maybe a bit rough around the edges and missing its usual, energetic touch, but firm.]

I, uh. Hi.

[Well, that's off to a great start already. He sighs.]

I once told one of my professors that all I wanted to do is learn. That it is what I'm good at, where I feel most like myself. I always thought learning is the greatest thing in the universe and I never would have thought that I could ever use it to...

[He stops for a moment, frowning.]

... I like to think that I would never have done any of this if things were... different and if this town wasn't, well. If it wasn't what it is. But I also realize that some part of me - or about me - probably prompted and spurred me on. I know I hurt a lot of people and regardless of how much of it I could have prevented or not, I'm very, very sorry. About what happened and-- about what might be yet to come of it.

I'm sorry. Stay warm, everybody.

[cahooted]

Thank you, Enoch. How are y-- [He snaps his mouth shut rather abruptly.]

I hope you're doing okay.

[warriorscribe]

It's not as bad as you thought it sounded.

[Yeah, he caught that. No, he's not quite alert enough to really expound on that thought. He didn't take offense, is the point.]

I'm feeling- ...well, as if nobody took anything from me. I've been here too long to hope it's a good sign. But...you? Are you all right?

[cahooted]

I'm... trying to be rational about it, I guess. But honestly? I feel horrible about what happened.

[He shrugs.] I'll be fine, I just need to... you know. Get there.

[warriorscribe]

You will. You have good friends, and the faith in them and yourself to make it.

[He draws a deep, shivering breath.]

I know that I'm not one of the people you feel you ought to be hearing this from, but if I can help in any way...

[cahooted]

Thank you, that's... that's very kind of you. [And feels very undeserved. He rubs his arm and sighs.]

Just... take good care of yourself? I think that would help me the most.

[warriorscribe]

[He doesn't know how to do that...]

I can try. Take care of yourself, as well - I know how difficult it can be.

[cahooted]

[He'd offer another hug if he would actually be willing to be in the vicinity of other people.]

I will. Let's just hope this will all be over soon.
