[Jo's voice sounds oddly restrained when it comes out over the network, cautious and uncertain as though she's swallowing something down, holding it back. She doesn't trust herself to use the video function at the moment-- and honestly, considering what she has to say, it doesn't seem appropriate.]
It's been a couple of days since I've been able to get in touch with my mom.
[For anyone else, a couple of days might be negligible, but she and Ellen have been damn near inseparable since Jo's arrival. Even after moving to the research center, they'd lived together, kept close tabs on each other.
Two days without any sign of Ellen was bad news.]
I'm not holding my breath. Pretty sure she's gone.
[And for them, going home doesn't mean much. What was there to go back to?]
I just-- I thought people oughta know. She had a lot of friends here.

[There's a long pause, but she smiles to herself, just a little. The Harvelles had always had friends, extended family, but so many of them were transient -- you couldn't always depend on them to be there when you needed them.]
Thank you, Meja. Really. I'll remember that.
