“Yes?”
“Oh, I…I wasn’t sure if you were awake.”
“It’s fine.”
“Are you well?”
“Yes, we all made it back safely. How’s life as Archangel?”
“It is a lot of responsibility, but I wouldn’t trade it for anything.”
“You sound concerned about something.”
“D-do I? Well…I suppose I do regret one thing. I would have liked to have been there…when you all spoke with Ash. Even if only for a moment; I wanted to apologize to him for everything I’d done.”
“He held no animosity towards any of us. He said as much.”
“That’s good, but…”
“I know how you feel. And I think he did too.”
“Really?”
“Really.”
“Dmitri…”
“Yes?”
“May we…? That is, can I…keep talking with you like this? Sometimes I think…I just need to hear your voice.”
“Of course you can. I would like to hear from you as well.”
“W-wonderful! But for now…I should really let you sleep, I’m sure it must be late on your world as well. Um…Good night, Dmitri.”
“Good night, Saniel.”
