Kaworu,

I hope this message finds you returned to us, and as well as one could reasonably expect. Yuri has not yet returned, but I am beginning to hear reports of fallen soldiers washing up unturned, and so I hope the same is true for you.

When you have the eyes to read this and the fingers to respond, please let me know that you are well. I owe you much, including an apology.

I should not have let you fall.

Please be well, and return to us soon.

Yours,
Flynn Scifo

[The response is delayed until the third of March. Then it comes, dictated via his omen.]

[ That's not alarming AT ALL.

By now, Yuri has at least emerged from the sea, though he is still a dark-limbed thing wrapped mostly around Flynn's chest. Flynn hadn't precisely forgotten that he'd messaged Kaworu, but the days have slipped into a formless, mushroom-crowded haze, and it's hard to know when he sent that.

He stares down at the garbled thing, wondering. ]

Is it okay? Your message isn't coming through clearly. Are you somewhere safe?

[On the other side of the Omni, Kaworu glances around but his eyes struggle to take in the space and place him relative to what he sees. It's hard for him to determine where he is in time and space. He feels so disconnected from it all.]

I'm s̵a̴f̵e̶.̷ P̶a̶u̴l̷ is ̷h̶e̴r̵e̷ too.

Thank you. That's good to know.

[ He types the next part no less than three times. It's the wrong time to tell Kaworu how sorry he is, that he failed to keep this actual child safe. Not while he's like this, not when everything is so raw and new. Flynn will have to make it up some other way. ]

Where, precisely, is "here"?
