[Jane takes a deep breath and presses the button to start the broadcast.]

Hello everyone, Jane Foster here. [She takes another deep breath and clears her throat.]

First, I want to apologize for my behavior during the shift. I was, obviously, not myself. If I damaged any property, or feelings for that matter, I'm going to do everything I can to make up for it, I promise. And I really hope that you don't think I'm like that normally. I'm very friendly and I love helping people and making friends.

[If she doesn't stop herself she'll ramble on with profuse apologies, so she pauses and moves on.]

Secondly, if anyone has any spare electronics they don't need or want any more, I'd be happy to take them off of your hands. Working or not, it doesn't matter. That includes extension cords and cables too. Just drop them off at my place in the Flame Building. There will be a box outside my door you can leave them in if I'm not home. I'm trying to put something together that I think everyone in Luceti would enjoy. I'll post another message if I manage to pull it off. Thank you!

[She gives a wave as a way of signing off, then the screen goes dark.]

[She sees that wince--it would be hard not to.

She's quiet for a beat.]

Jane? Would you like to have some tea together?

[Jane's wince turns into a warm smile and an eager nod of the head.]

I would love that. Are you free right now?

Yes, I am. [Even if she weren't, she would make the time.] Would you like to go to the tea shop or would you like to come to my house?

Oh, I think the tea shop would be fine. I can meet you there in about ten minutes, if that's good for you.

All right. I'll see you in ten minutes!

[...More or less.]

In nine and a half minutes Jane walked into the tea shop, clad in her usual jeans, t-shirt and flannel button down, her hair down in loose waves. She immediately spotted Grune and walked over to the table she was seated at. She didn't even wait for her to stand up before giving her a big hug.

"Hi."

Grune immediately hugged her back as best she could. "Hello, Jane! It's so nice to see you!"

"Likewise." Jane took the seat across from her friend - yes, she now considered her a friend - and grinned widely.

"Thanks for offering to meet me."

Grune beamed back. "Oh, you don't need to say thank you. I'm always happy to see you."

"I feel so lucky that I met you," she said before ordering herself a cup of tea. "I just wish it had been when I was at my best. You're really an incredible person - most people who met me during the shift couldn't get away fast enough."

Grune took a little longer about ordering--there isn't much at all she does fast--but after a bit she settles on jasmine green tea.

"My, really? I wonder why," she replied in genuine surprise.

Jane tilts her head. "Come on, I wasn't exactly nice to you. I'm sorry for that, by the way. That Jane, she'd been through hell and it turned her very angry and bitter."

She reached out a hand with the intent to cover Jane's. "It's all right. She didn't understand how to be kind. I'm sure she would have learned little by little. She just needed some time to see that no one was going to hurt her anymore."
