o2. video
[The feed comes on to a certain redhead. She looks frazzled to say the least, and a bit irritated to boot.]
I have a question. Has anyone gotten an item from an echo that won't go away? Or, I guess in this case, is stuck? Because I woke up with this--
[The video moves and focuses on her left hand, where a very modest ring sits on her ring finger. It's pretty obvious from how red it is around it that she's been working to try to get it off.]
And I've tried just about everything I can think of and it will not come off. It's too tight. I don't even know where it came from. I can assume, but I have a party to go to in a few days and I really don't want to explain to my college friends that I didn't suddenly get married over break.
[She huffs slightly.]
How do I get rid of this thing?

[ Apparently there is always time for romance. She just hasn't figured that out yet. ]
action;
[It's okay, Elly's on the same page.]
action;
[ At least she knows of one or two success stories. ]
action;
Seriously?
[You are not actually using this to get a date, Elly. You just think one of the people on the network is attractive. That's different, right?]
action;
[ Through the grapevine. ]
action;
Really? Who?
action;
[ Literally she just saw it being mentioned in passing/an announcement from them and moved on since she didn't know them. ]
action;
action;
[ She's guesstimating, anyway. It's not something she's had experience with, on the romantic level. ]
action;
Oh?
action;
Well, it's a bit like getting to know someone in double-time, isn't it?
[ ... ]
I don't suppose you have experience there, Elly?
action;
N...
Not exactly.
action;
[ Did you ever have a chance here, Elly? ]
action;
action;
Well, if you ever want to talk about it, I'll listen.
[ ...But Sierra's actually a nice friend. ]
action;
The first memory I have was me pointing a gun at him, so I thought that he was trying to hurt me. But as we talked more, I realized that that wasn't the case, which was honestly a relief. But...
action;
...But you still don't know why you were pointing a gun at him?
action;
It's not just that. I can't really explain it. I feel like we're linked somehow. I... keep thinking about him.
action;
Does that bother you?
action;
action;
...that does sound like something that would scare Elly. ]
It's not something you have to deal with right away. You have time.
action;
[...She should probably mention that, too. For maximum confusion.]
We... did end up falling asleep together on the couch while we were working. I don't remember actually falling asleep, but that definitely happened.
action;
[ Sara was on the team, so she wouldn't be surprised about the latter. ]
action;
It feels like I'm getting jerked around by some... I don't know what you'd even call it, but I don't like it.
action;
[ Getting back glimpses of other lives. The attacks. ]
