And Yet And Yet
Voice 1: Can you talk where you are?

Voice 2: Yeah-

Voice 1: Who's there?

V2: -just looking over something. No, I can talk.

V1: Is anyone else there?

V2: No.

V1: Hang on.

V2: [Static] [sighs]

V1: You're really tired. [static] I know you. You sound just awful… [static] I love you.

V2: I love you, too. I don't wanna be here. Not now. [static] I wanna be with you.

[static]

V1: I was sitting in bed...

V2: Yeah.

V1: ...and I was kind of daydreaming...

V2: Mmm.

V1: Or… Well, you know- [static] ...and I was remembering... um... I don't know. I was remembering all sorts of things. [static] All these things…

V2: Like what?

V1: I was remembering when you came [static] and saw me after the... collection.

V2: Yeah.

V1: And you just walked [static]...

V2: Yeah.

V1: ...and dropped everything.

V2: Yeah.

V1: I was just remembering that. I hadn't thought about that for a long time...

V2: Yeah.

V1: ...and how amazing that was.

V2: Ye- [static]

V1: Do you have to go?

V2: No. No, of course I don't. I'm not going to hang up when you're talking like this [Laughs]. [Static] I'm having more fun – [static]. Um...

V1: Can anyone else hear you?

V2: Hmm?

V1: Is anyone else listening-

V2: No…

V1: -to us?

V2: No. They're not paying attention to me.

V1: Mmm…

V2: Well- [static]

V1: Can't you talk to me for as long as you can talk to me, or do you have to go?

V2: No. No, I can talk to you for as long as you want.

V1: I wanna talk to you. [Static] -miss you. Isn't it amazing [static] how much I miss you? [Static]

V2: Well...

V1: And how much I feel like my body [static] needs to be against yours?

V2: Well, I- [static] -feeling. [Static]

V1: That's a good thing!

V2: Yeah. [Static]

V1: It's a good thing that it's mutu-[static]-al.

V2: Yeah. [Static]

V1: What? [Static] You know- [static] -I was thinking today? [Static] -are the luckiest people be-[static]-cause this is just going to [static] stronger and stronger and [static] on and on [static] -ore it's over.

V2: Mmm-hmm.

V1: Don't- [static] – ou think?

V2: Yeah. [Static] –just to hear you say it. I-

V1: Why's it… Sorry. [Static] –hat were you saying?

V2: That's fine… [Static] at's okay.

V1: No, please. Go on.

V2: I… was just saying- [static] –with you in all- [static] –despite ev- [static] –there's- [static] something else... [Static]

Take Care
Voice 1: [Static] -there's this- [static] -please. Just- [static] –it.

Voice 2: The- [static] –find it. [Static] –ell me?

V1: There's n-[static] –point- [static] –this.

V2: …What's the matter?

V1: You know what's the matte- [static]

Include Them Out
Voice 1: [Static] –isn't the way we- [static] –should be together. It's not right.

Voice 2: …what would you recommend?

V1: What?

V2: You- [static] – o be different. I don't know- [static] -any other way.

V1: [Sigh] …we- [static]

V2: [static] I can't-

V1: [cough]

V2: -do…

V1: Sorry…

V2: It's fine. [sigh] …it's fine.

V1: …I'm sorry [static]

V2: [static] –t you.

V1: I know… [static]

V2: Is it al-[static]-ways this hard? Does it never get any ea- [static] -er, or will we have to fight f-[static]-or everything…?

V1: It'll get better. [Static] –has too.

It's There, But I Never Noticed It 'til Now
Voice 1:[Static] –is humming sound… I can hear it everywhere, like it's reverberating through the walls- [static] –the floor. [Static]

Voice 2: …Sounds like- [static] –eed to- [static] –on some sleep. You can't- [static]

V1: Yeah… That's what- [static] –recommended. That was maybe a week ago, though…

V2: [Laughs] That sounds about right…

V1: Mmm…

[Static]

V2: It's a poor balance- [static]. Not enough pleasure, too much pain- [static]

V1: [Sighs] Feels like I've got more than the world on my back…

V2: Well… [static] –tell me if when you begin to lose your mind completely, I'll let the crew down gently.

V1: I'd probably laugh if I could just stop seeing things moving from out the corners- [static] of my eyes… [Static] –all around me it feels like the walls are constantly falling down- [static] –my sight focused on the ground- [static]

V2: I don't- [static] –understand what-

V1: There's nothing to…

V2: -you're saying…

V1: I… [static] …can't concentrate  when I'm on my own anymore. [Static] –if there's nothing sacred anymore, I… [static] – Not too many hours from this hour, right? [Static] -so long?

[Static]

V2: …Is there anything I can do? Is…

[Static]

V1: [Static] Even my eyes are beginning to feel vacant [static]. The whole world's- [static] –too much with me.

[Static]

Come Down Easy
Voice 1: Are you busy…?

Voice 2: No. I can talk, if you want.

V1: Okay... [Static] Good...

V2: What did you want to say?

V1: Hmmm?

V2: What did you-

V1: Nothing.

V2 –want to say…?

V1: Nothing, really.

V2: Mmm..

V1: Nothing… [Static] I think I just wanted to hear your voice…

V2: Mmm…

V1: Are you alone…?

V2: [Laughs] Aren't I always?

V1: There's usually someone around- [static] –after your attention.

V2: Hired hands. I'm just trying to make you jealous.

V1: [Laughs] It's working… [static]

V2: Good… [sighs]

V1: …Are you-[static]-busy?

V2: No. [Static]

V1: I want to see you.

V2: [Static] –you forget how to find me? [Static]

V1: No…

I was thinking Mass Effect as I was rading it. Shep/Liara for me. Had me hanging all the way through. Thanks!
