[ The feed on the screen today displays both a strange sight and from a strange angle; it appears to be a view from the top of a building in Heropa (from what other scenery suggests), angled in such a way to capture an alleyway -- and the walls that frame it -- below.

On the ground there's a yellow spray-painted silhouette of a woman, her hair a wild, spiraling cloud that also spreads over part of the walls; in the shapes of her hair appear numerous eyes, painted in green, an there are red poppies growing from the ground precisely where her face would be.

Also, the camera is being held upside down.

Pablo himself doesn't speak immediately, although the view on the screen shifts a little as he moves the arm holding the communicator, giving a glimpse of the fire escape that he's lying on. ]

I found that here this morning. [ Almost definitely his doing, but he doesn't remember doing it. ] It reminds me of my sister, actually -- it's her birthday today.

[ His twin sister, if he's mentioned her. ]

We haven't seen each other in a few years, but I uh, I always try to do something anyway... I think it's nice to have rituals like that, you know? Um, or in general. But I think it can help, like, keep people close to you even when they're not. Does anyone else have those?

Uh, lilies, white roses, green carnations. There are a few more, but I can't remember their names. I have them all written down though. It was the only thing I could do. Different world and all that, not like I can just pop down the road.

How come you haven't seen your sister?

[aojona]

Right-- um, well, yeah. Sometimes you have to do things differently if the other person isn't there with you, but it still means something. And flowers definitely always mean a lot.

Well, uh... I moved out a while ago. And I know she was gonna go to college, so she's probably been pretty busy with that, too.
