Another prosthetic...
I'm getting Mr. Arachne's help getting a blade that will fit into a forearm compartment, but I need the compartment first.

[... oof, dare he tell her it took him months to make the one he did make for Leo? No, he will not. He will figure this out.]
I see, well... I can see what I can whip up in what time we've got?

[He knows how it all works now! ...If all else fails, a separate forearm part that can be switched out... That's, uh, hhhhalf the work gone, right? That's how that works.
Anyway, how's that "not suffering for Rachel's sake" going, Donnie?]
Is it no good...? If there's anything I can do to help, I'll do it.

[IT'S GOING POORLY, he kind of misses her visiting and seeing her and god he wants things to go back to how it was. BUT NOBODY DOES WHAT DONNIE WANTS.]
No, no, no. It's just. It took me months to make that first one, but I should be able to make something faster now that I know how to do it? That and I don't have to worry about a working hand, that took up a lot of my time really...

[Ah...]
I'm sorry. I didn't realize. Are you sure there's nothing I can do to help?
If it ends up being a little late, that's fine, too.

It's fine, it's fine really.
[He wants to say there is stuff she can help with but like, he can't think of anything.]
I'll consider it a challenge, to get it done right and early.

[vibrates... She has to remind herself that some of this...is just Donnie.]
As long as you rest and eat properly...
(I WILL know.)
I'll do a really good job on the sewing, so you don't have to worry on that front. We've got this!

I make no promises.
... and yeah it is sewing I need done. I. Kinda made what is going on the hoodie myself but looking at it it's not the greatest so maybe I should just show you my idea and let you go at it.
[Yes, Donnie managed to make unicorn ears and a horn on his own but is so wary about sewing it to the hoodie himself.]

Take care of yourself or I'll make others take care of you, which will be annoying.

You can try, it will fail but you can try.
Look do you want this done or not? There are going to be some sacrifices here.

[Oh? Is that a bet??]
I'd rather you sacrifice yourself less.

If you want to work without eating or sleeping, then work hard for Elias and get your memories protected as well. Until then, you need it or you'll suffer.
Ray, I've gone days without sleep before I ever got here. I'm not suffering.
That doesn't mean you should keep doing it. Especially not for me.
But it's not for you, it's for Leo.
...True. But I'm the one asking.
And I guess...I'm asking now for you to please listen to your body and take care of yourself. Please.

Fine, I will.
[This is a lie, he shall work himself to the bone to get this done.]

[Time will tell on if she trusts his word alone or if she's going to ask someone about it to make sure. For now? She wants to believe him.]
Okay. Thank you.
Okay. Thank you.
[Who would she go to for that? Can't be Leo that'd spoil his gift, and she doesn't get on well with Bucky...]
Hm.
Anyway, since we've got that sorted out...
Hm.

[Polly earned her vacation. Besides, there was nothing inherently dangerous happening that meant more monsters or humans were dropping than normal. Considering the relatively safe state of the world, this would have been a fog period they were actually a bit over prepared for, had everyone been on deck!
His more probing questions, while still indirect in a way, get Ray to flip the top sheet of paper over the rest again and set it all aside.]
...Yes. [To...both. Though she certainly doesn't look it.] It's better you didn't see me...whether you'd understand how I was different or not. Sorry if it was lonelier here, but I wouldn't have made any difference.

It....wasn't lonelier exactly? [Hooo, how does he put it.]
...I was just worried. Some of the others... ...whatever lives they thought they had, it made them feel a lot worse than before- but in the same way, anyone who had a 'better' life... ...I knew it'd probably end in a week, you know?

Leo just rests his face in his hand before he finally pops open the laptop again. The new memories swirling in his head, the regret from messing up so badly feels like a tangled knot he doesn't know what to do with. He died, and missed a few days. He can guess there is some panic.
So, he sends his sister a short message.]
Did you know, god can't kill this bitch? It's a certifiable fact.
How you? All in one piece?

[She's angry. She's furious, getting this message, but more than that, she's relieved. It's hard to see through the tears -- doubly so because of how sappy they are when she's a nymph -- and she doesn't have much to wipe them away in her secret underground garden grave, but it's too important to let sit for long. Just...don't cry on the keyboard or hands. She doesn't need the keys getting stuck.]
