[In case he has trouble.]
I hate to say it, but it doesn't seem like we have much of a choice either coming or going. You should live your life here to the fullest - don't worry too much about something you can't control...
Kevin, you know, feels the same way.
I don't think the Arehtei know much more - or at least, they're not spilling.

I've been trying to do just that - what you said about living. It's easier said than done for someone like me.
[Still a little self-focused yet.]
But... I wanted some kind of proof I could give to someone else. That there was something we could do so we both stayed here. Even if I'm the hundreth or millionth person to ask them, I guess I'll talk to the Arehtei anyway - after Kevin.

[Edea can be blunt sometimes.]
I don't think you'll find the proof you're after, though. ...Nobody has been able to control their coming and going from this place. The best we can do is make the most of our time here.
I can tell you that if I had any power of this sort, I'd have kept a few of my friends around... Probably quite selfishly.

[He gasps as she pins his personal reason down with her blunt statement. He doesn't mind the blunt part, just her guess out of thin air. And he thought he was being so subtle!
Yeah right, Arden.]I, well... Erm...
[He definitely wishes she had the power to be selfish.]
no subject
[Her tone is slightly gentler.]
If that's the case... I can see why it might be more of an urgent issue. I still think you're best off trying to make the most of life here without spending too much of your energy fretting - I don't want to give you any false hope about any of this.
But it can't hurt to speak with more people.

[And mostly he's not used to getting an even remotely gentle treatment from other people for his situation. Granted he didn't actually give her his backstory - because he's been encouraged not to - but still. It's a welcome surprise.]
Speaking to more people meaning... do you have some suggestions?
no subject
[A shrug.]
Kevin, if you like. But I don't know everything that goes on on this island. You can see if the mayor or the researchers over at the observatory have gotten any further, maybe. I think they mostly just tolerate us nowadays...

[He doesn't know what else he should say, given her pessimistic outlook, before hanging up.]
