[Frank had set a deadline for himself to ask something to the network. And that was today.

Today. And if there was something he didn't do was to break a promise, even to himself. But he wasn't going to do a video post and give people more reasons to laugh at the situation... even though judging by a certain network post and a couple more than followed it wasn't just him that was going through this. So it's a tiny, shy girl's voice the one making this post.]

Uhm, hi. I know you are all busy right now and I'm sorry, this will be short.

I just need as much information about the turtle as you have. Anything you know about it, as much information as possible. I... want to try something, and I need to know Asti well before I do.

[A pause, and then he adds:] The more I know about anatomy the better actually so if anyone's gone... swimming under it or gotten a bird view or something like that maybe they could tell me what they saw. You can go anon if you'd like, I don't mind.

So... yes. That's i- OH guys, are all of you aright?

[The post traces back to Frank's console so he's hoping said GUYS will contact him, otherwise it's visiting-house-to-house time.]

[There's a beat before she smiles softly.] You don't defeat fate, Frank. That's what I learned. They said I would use my gifts was destruction, and I did do that. I just focused my anger on something that deserved it.

[He wrinkles his nose, a habit he didn't know he had until he'd found himself in this body. He's trying to understand, he really is- but Vanessa's story is both so similar and so different from the things his team has faced that it's honestly kind of confusing.]

Well, that's a way to deal with fate I get. I said that if I had to burn, I might as well be bright... [he shrugs] guess it's the same idea? I'd still like to help, Vanessa.

You might as well be an explosion, in that case. [Not that Vanessa really gets what he's talking about. This is a metaphor, right? Are we speaking about burning metaphorically?] Thanks, Frank. I don't know if it's anything other people can help me with.

[He opens his mouth, then closes it. He hasn't really talked about his fate with anyone, not since Hazel disappeared and took the piece of wood with her. It's terrifying to have your life depend on something so easily gone, but it's even more terrifying when you don't even have it around.]

I'm... there's this log. This piece of wood, a prophecy says I will die when it burns completely. When I found out about my own fate I was scared, so scared I couldn't even look at fire- so scared I still can't even visit the fire sector.

But then I shared it with Hazel... and I was scared, but it suddenly wasn't so bad?

[She's quiet for a moment, lips parting as if to say something before she changes her mind.]

Being able to share something like that with someone is nice. They can help. [Which just makes her realize that she's never actually told people about this. Because she didn't know until the night Catty died, and then she was here.

There really is something nice about not being the only one. Like it's not as much of a burden. Not that it's going to matter.] I see what you're getting at.
