Ugh, I thought the headache when I got out of that hole was bad.

[A long pause]
If anyone needs me, I'll be imposing on Alma at the temple for a bit.  I just... Need time to think.  Everyone I hurt, I'm sorry.

[Private to Tieria//Unhackable]
I...

[He sighs.]

I don't think I'll ever find the words for how sorry I am.

[Another pause, as if he is trying to think of something else to say, but the recording cuts out to what sounds like someone attempting to choke back tears, and a bare fist striking the terminal.]

... Your sister?

Ah... nothing you need be concerned about at the moment.

She was court-martialed for a friendly fire incident. They suspected it was intentional because they had just ended a relationship, and it wasn't going smoothly.

...She took her own life soon after.

Right. Let me know if there's any way I can be of assistance.

[He's quiet for a long moment.]

I'm sorry.

... I, for one, have no objections to you staying in the lower level headquarters, should you wish... and feel you need to separate yourself from the majority of the organization for a while.

Thanks. I'm stuck on the lower level for a week anyway... But being at the temple feels cathartic.

... As you wish.

I think... I should visit it, as well.

Alma's a cryptic little lady. But she's good company.
