Hey Birdie.

Thanks for being so fast in giving me a new message. I’m telling you, maybe we can figure out a way to sign on at the same time, do a little back and forth.

But in the meantime, you said—“Am alone. No physical voice. No idea what happened.”

That makes two of us. On the “doesn’t know what happened” front anyway. And the “alone” front. Though, maybe we’re not really alone anymore?

I’m not going to say I’m sorry that you can’t physically speak because I don’t know your situation and I know I hate it when it seems like someone is pitying me for something I don’t feel badly about.

Did that make sense? I guess, what I mean to say is—I’m sorry if something happened to you that was, you know, traumatic, that made things that way, but also maybe you’ve never been able to speak and it’s not a big deal to you. Either way, I’m thankful you’ve taken the time to figure out how to talk to me in spite of it. And I swear I’m not going to be a jerk anymore.

Well, a jerk about this specifically. You tell me you can’t do the voice-to- voice thing and that’s fine. But I still want to, you know, know things. I still find other aspects of this whole deal frustrating as hell.

But, well, if we’re gonna do this, if we’re going to be not alone together, I figure things should be fair. You answered a question of mine, so now I’ll answer one of yours. You just let me know.

Oh, also, wait, I do have one more question that I think is relevant to this whole getting on even footing thing—or really, a clarification of an answer you’ve already given. Have you seen or heard from anyone else in the last six years?

Alright, signing off.
