Transcript under the cut...
Shi: So you know how I’ve been trying to get away from my “Father”, right?
Casper: Yeah...?
Shi: I think he’s found me.
Casper: What?!
Shi: I keep getting cryptic messages and then there’s these two men who won’t leave me alone- they claim to know everything about me.
Casper: Including your ability?
Shi: [Sighs] Yup. They say that they mean no harm, but I don’t trust them. The only people who knows about my power is you, Toue and the people working for him.
Casper: [Sighs] Shit. Well, are you in any danger right now?
Shi: I don’t think so. I’ve been getting a lot of weird looks from people... Had this group try to pick a fight with me during my first week.
Casper: Shi, please tell me you didn’t-
Shi: Oh I did. They know not to fuck with me now.
Casper: [Sigh] You need to be more careful.
Shi: When have I ever been careful, Cas?
Phone pings.
Casper: Rapunzel? Shi, who’s this Rapunzel person?
Shi: I’m not sure... I’ve been trying to figure it out for months.
Casper: Wait, so you don’t know this person? Who do you think it could be?
Shi: I have no idea... I don’t even know how they found me.
Casper: Looks like this person sent you a download link... should we open it?
Shi: Normally I wouldn’t, but my gut is telling me we should.
Casper: Okay. It’s loading..
Shi: This better not be a virus...
Casper: I guess we’re about to find out...
Shi: Yeah..... Okay, so while that’s downloading, tell me why you’re on Earth all of a sudden?
Casper: Ugh, where do I begin? [Sigh] So you know how my job is to help children and victims of abuse?
Shi: Yeah?
Casper: Well, I went to the Village, Kyenlone with the group, and we were doing our rounds and whatnot. Turns out the leader, Orqreth has been participating in some sort of trafficking ring.
Shi: Holy shit...
Casper: Look, I couldn’t just let him get away with it! I exposed him. And now he wants me dead.
-- Talking over flashback --
Casper: My mother was the one who found out that he and his team are on the hunt for me. She was the one who helped me escape. I didn’t even get to say goodbye to the rest of my family. It all happened so fast...
-- Flashback --
Cinzia, in Sixami: I need you to listen to me, you can’t stay here. Not right now, baby.
Casper: I can fight them! Please, I don’t want to leave you.
Cinzia: I know. But you need to understand, it’s too dangerous for you here.
Casper: Where am I supposed to go?!
Cinzia: I don’t know... Just don’t go to any of the neighbouring planets. They’ll look for you there.
Casper: Not even Hela?
Cinzia: No, Casper. I need you to get on that ship and go.
Casper: But-
Cinzia: I need you to do that for me, Casper. Please.
Casper: What about you? What about Vesper and Papa?!
Cinzia: We’ll be fine. I promise.
Casper: What it you won’t?!
Cinzia: Your Father has a plan. We’ll handle them whilst you’re away.
X: We’re running out of time!
Cinzia: Everything you need is on that ship. When it’s safe enough to do so, you drop me a message. [Voice cracks] I love you so much, my child.
Casper: I love you too, Mama. I’m gonna miss you.
Cinzia: I’m going to miss you too. This is only temporary, I promise. Just don’t let them find you.
-- Flashback Ends --
Casper: I don’t know how I lost them, but I did, and now I’m here.
Shi: Do you feel safe here?
Casper: I think so, or at least I do for now... Also, there’s something else I need to tell you...
Shi: Sure, go ahead.
Casper: Turns out I was pregnant. I didn’t even know I was until that night!
Shi: Casper-
Casper: And when I crashed, I bled loads and-
Shi: Casper, your stress levels are rising-
Casper: It was yours.
Shi: What?
Casper: It would’ve been yours...
Shi: Mine...?
Casper nods.
Shi: Shit, Casper... I’m sorry. Is there anything I can do to help?
Casper: Hold me?
