Video/Action for Violet City

[Shaun looks pale and trembling, and his eyes are wide and scared. He looks - and sounds, when he finally speaks - like he's been crying. All he can manage are four short words, before his voice cracks and it's all he can do not to break down.]

Norman won't wake up.

Huh? Me too? No, it's my friend Norman.

[Shaun's not in a coma, silly weird guy with sunglasses.]

You have a friend who has been asleep for an extended amount of time. I am in a similar situation.

Oh.

Well, he hasn't been asleep that long, it's just... Usually he gets up before me, and now it's like nothing I do will even wake him up.

[He's freaking out so hard because this has happened to someone he cares about before, although tbf that had a pretty obvious cause, unlike this.]

[Give him a moment to scan the other replies.]

... It seems this is not as uncommon as one would think.

I guess not. I didn't know it was a thing that happened until now, though.

It's still really scary.

[Shino can agree on that.]

Waiting is the most difficult part. Why? Because you do not know when. [Or... if, but he'll refrain.]

...Yeah, I know.

[this isn't baby's first rodeo with comas, Shino.]

[Sorry to hear it, dude. Even if he knew that, he was probably gonna say it anyway. What is contributing something helpful when it comes to Mr. Captain Obvious..]

… Is there anyone else with you?

Yeah, my friend Emily was here for a while... And Miss Ziva is coming tomorrow.

[He's alone for right now, though.]

Also my team's here too.

[There's that, at least.]

It's good that you have your friends. [slight pause] Will you be fine?

[He hesitates.]

I think so. ...It's not really me I'm worried about.

... There is nothing much that can be done except for having faith that they will wake.

...I know it. [oh believe me he knows it.] But I can't help it anyway.

I'll be okay until he wakes up. My team can protect me from anything.

[He nods.]

And keeping others around you will make the wait seem shorter.

Yeah, I guess. It's hard when you don't know how long it's going to be.

It may be hard, but you said you will be fine. I believe you will be.

Thanks, uh...

What's your name?

... Shino. [You'd think after so many introductions, he'd be better at this...]

And yourself?

I'm Shaun.

It's nice to meet you. I hope your friend wakes up soon.

The next time we speak, both of our friends will be awake. That is what I expect.

[It's broken logic, but he's going to make that claim. Why? Because Yumi can't possibly return back home for good if part of her remains in this place. She will wake up because she has time left, here.

So until then, Shaun.]

Well I hope that you're right.

[...click!]

Talk to you later, I guess.
