* Liz felt like something was wrong. V hadn't texted her for a while and it made the cheerleader frown and feel worried. She made the trek to the pod, knocking on the door with her eyebrows furrowed on her visor * " hey Goldie?... You, like, haven't been texting so I've been a little worried.... "
V had been curled up on the couch of the modified pod, her back to everything and her knees nearly to her chest. In their arms they held the plush cat that had once belonged to her youngest.
