Man 1: Ah! You must be Melissa! Welcome to our abode. We’re honoured to have you. Man 2: If you’d walk this way, Cleveland is waiting to greet you. Melissa: Wait, what? In person? Man 2: Well, of course. How else to receive a guest? Melissa: Oh, but I'm… Man 2: Oh, come on. This way.
Sean: Running a resistance gets expensive. A lot of what we do is raise funds. Melissa: With Freecoins? (chortling) Sean (cold): Through organised crime, mostly. Melissa: Oh.
Melissa: Maria! Are you there? Maria: Of course I’m here, but where the hell are you? You leave one note and you think everything’s all good? The hell you playing at? Melissa: I told you— Maria: Yeah yeah, you ran away from all your problems to Windenburg. If you think they ain’t gonna return you the second the courts here give the word… Melissa: No, I’m with some people here, they— Maria: I don’t care what loophole your sorry ass thinks you’ve found! You gonna have to get back here before your court date or else— Melissa: Or else what? Maria, if I go back they’re gonna sentence me to hard labour, you know it, I know it. Here at least I’ve got a chance. Maria: You sound like a runaway teen. You have no chance in Windenburg! You’re gonna get sent back here either way. Stop running from your problems and come and face them head-on. Melissa: Come on, you know I can’t. Maria: You think this is gonna be any better once they’ve had to extradite you back home? No! Stop being irresponsible and come back home. Melissa: Yeah look… I’m gonna have to call another time, I borrowed this phone and the person needs it back. Say hi to the kids for me! Bye! Maria: Like hell I—
Melissa pulled the phone away from her ear and hit the disconnect button. She wasn’t sure what she’d expected, really. All she’d hoped for was to confirm to Maria that she was alright, but never coming back to San Myshuno. She’d achieved that, she guessed. It didn’t feel as satisfying as she’d thought it would.
Melissa: I’m not sure I… Cleveland: Oh, you must be so tired! Tom, why don’t you show this young lady to her quarters?
Cleveland: Ah, you’ve made it! Melissa, we’ve heard so much about you. Melissa: Er… thanks. Cleveland: I do apologise that this has to be such a short meeting. You must know how it is: a man’s work is never done. Still, I wanted to make sure to welcome you in person. I trust you’ll be in good hands under the tutelage of my comrade Sean over here.
Sean: What do you think about the system in San Myshuno? Melissa: You sound like a cop. Sean: Never mind that. What do you think about it? Simple question. Melissa: Well, it sucks, obviously. Sean: Obviously. What do you think ‘sucks’ about it? Melissa: I dunno. I’d say it just sucks that everyone’s so poor. Like, it’s so fucking hard just to keep your head above water. It’s not right. Sean (with a long pause): Yeah. Okay. Well, the entire point of why this organisation exists is that we’re trying to end that. We want to see radical change in San Myshuno. Do you? Melissa: Well sure, I guess. I don’t see how you’re gonna do that though. Like, if what I just read in that book is anything to go by…
Melissa: So… how did you become part of this organisation? Sean: I don’t really think that’s any of your business. Melissa: Uh… okay. So… what is it that you do here? Sean: Lots of things. Melissa: Are there, you know, any examples you want to share? Sean: Not right now.
