[ Meg wanted to just send out a text, quick and to the point. But, she needed this to be a little personal because that's all it was. He was her family and she'd gone four long years without him. Having him back for a little under 2 months was more than she could have had.
It could be all she will have. She doesn't know.
And that's why she needs to do this. She might not have bothered otherwise... Back home, she wasn't responsible for the announcements or notifications to family and friends, but her mother wasn't here. She spent a long time wondering if she should even do this or let people find out on their own, but it was the right thing to do. His leaving impacted more than just her. When he hadn't come back, she'd figured he might've been caught up with whatever was going on, but then the other pieces fell into place. He'd been sent away. This time, she promises to herself, she won't lash out and destroy what she's kind of set herself up for here. It hurts. It hurts, but it's a familiar pain.
At least she knows what to do with it now and that she can fix it. No, now that she will fix it. Her voice is even when she finally addresses the network, wanting to keep this as brief as possible. It was easier to internalize it than to scream and cry. Though, she can't stop a few tears as she can hear his voice in her mind. Just like she can't help the way her voice cracks at his name.
Be strong for me, Meglet. It'll all work itself out. You'll see. ]
For anyone who might have known him, Dr. Alex Murry is gone. He did wall research and development. I--
[ She's not sure what else needs to be said. Apologizing feels wrong. She can only hope that he didn't go back to Camazotz. Or if he did, he isn't there alone for long. There's a pause filled with a shaky breath as she searches for how to end this before just turning it off. ]

[Alex sounds like she means it too, because she does.]
Are you okay? Well, I'm sure you're not but is there anything I can do? Do you need something?

She just lets that hang in the air for a long moment, not really sure how to correct herself without spilling more information than the other person probably wants to hear. Also, she super sucks at asking for help, so… It’s fine. ] Back home, not here. [ Yup, that really helped. Sticking with the honesty track, she manages three words that are hard for her. ]
I don’t know.

[Alex has adopted the idea that when she talks to kids, she's going to be as truthful as possible, and that includes when they're being strong or brave or when things suck. So, she's calling a spade a spade.]
I can offer you an ear or hot chocolate. Or both. I'm Alex, by the way, Alex Reagan.

[ She didn’t have a choice. Even without her younger brother here, she still needed to be strong for herself because she wasn’t sure what might happen if she crumbles.
The thought of hot chocolate manages to bring a smile to her face, the beverage a weakness for her to resist when she’s having a rough day. The ear, maybe. She’s bad at opening up to new people… But, she’ll try. ]
Meg... Hot chocolate would be nice.
no subject
[She hopes so, the idea of this poor kid going to a house alone is worrying.]
no subject
Should I meet you there? [ She should probably get the name of it, too. She hadn’t really done much exploring, instead catching up with her Dad… But, she’d have time now. ]
