That didn't take long, did it?

[ Unsurprisingly, Kate sounds tired to some extent. What is surprising, to her at least, is that she isn't as tired as she had anticipated being after finally being cured of her mania. No longer are her words bursting with vigor, her voice tempered and quiet. ]

Something was bound to happen not too long after imPorts began to show up here again. [ A beat. ] Just like the City. I wonder what comes next.

[ There are footsteps in the background, padded and soft; not hers, for anyone with good ears. ]

The more things change, the more they stay the same, hm? A pessimistic expression, I'm aware. Maybe I need to change it up a little for my own pleasure. Familiarity is nice, but repetition gets boring quickly. [ Another pause. ] The fifties was known for its experimentation with culture and style.

[molly immediately backtracks]

You don't have to tell me if you don't want to! I've heard that some things are just a little... off the wall.

It wasn't a bad offer.

[ She pauses. ]

It didn't feel right... to take it if I wouldn't register.

Oh. That makes sense.

You aren't going to register?

No, I don't think so.

Well, if it doesn't feel right, it doesn't feel right.

[ Another pause.

She hadn't reached the point of tension, but she had expected more questioning. ]

Thanks, Molly.
