[The woman returned to her room after therapy to find her child - clearly panicked - curled up on a chair with a blanket she hadn't seen. Edgar had his head on Theo's lap looking up at him.]

Hey... Theo...? Are okay?

[Mousetrap flinches, looking up and flipping their phone over almost reflexively.]

Y-yes. Fine, thank you.

[m0use-trapped]

[A text is sent to your phone]

<Hey, you're at the park, right?

-💫

[A response, shortly after.]

<yes. I am on a bench, Edgar is with me. I remembered you will not know who you are looking for, and figured he may be more noticeable.

Mousetrap! Good day, Mousetrap. You've been doing very well, so I'd like to offer you more of a challenge. See, we just found a perfect opportunity to reclaim our most profitable actor in recent years, so of course I had to take it! I'm sure you get it.

Problem is, I don't know how to program people yet, so I need you to get it started for me.

-HENCH

what? you want me to help you program a person?

that is veryh different from what I was doing until this point. I was helping to repair the drones, not reprogram entire peole.

...what have I agreed to?

[Star is Calling you]

-💫

[It takes several moments, but the call is picked up. There are a few seconds of silence on the other end before a voice - unsteady and quiet. They sound more uncertain than one might expect from the way they present online.]

He-

[They falter, and pause to clear their throat.]

Hello?

[m0use-trapped]

MT! Hey! How- how are ya man? It's been a while

-💫

hello, Star. it's good to hear from you.

I'm certainly doing... better than I was, during my time offline. are you well?

[m0use-trapped]

im very sorry that my argument made the headache worse

-💠

I don't see it to be your fault, Diamond. no need for apologies

I blame Showfall - and myself - not anyone under its control

I hope you're well

[m0use-trapped]

I've been summoned by Friendship Bracelets /hj

Anyways, MT! I'm so sorry, I completely forgot you were with me when I... ya know. I'm sorry man, I was just. Ugh... bad. That's no excuse though.

So, you've been registered into the hopital, huh? I'll have to visit you then, heheh.

On a more serious note... did they get the device out yet?

-💫

it's alright. you have had a lot on your mind, as have I. I have been admitted, yes, despite my... best efforts.

they have not gotten the device out. I have not told them about it.

[m0use-trapped]

Good to have you back MT

I forget if I asked you to work on HETCHs device or not but Sunny agrees that if we can break it things will probably be much easier for us

-💠

thank you, Diamond. it's good to be back

I do not remember either, but I agree. I do know that HETCHs device and programming work quite differently from most of the others, so it will take more effort to break than, for example, yours did. I will start looking at it and attempt to find files on his device, though, and see what I can do. I will keep you updated
