[Kafka had tried to give the Stellaron Hunters space.]
[Not because she didn't care for them, of course. But because she did. In their past lives, they'd all been bound by a common script. Here, however, they were welcome to spread their wings and fly in any direction they chose. No bounties. No needless sacrifices.]
[With Blade, she'd had no choice but to get involved. Firefly, however, was different. She could see that Faye lead a peaceful life here, and it wasn't something she wanted to interrupt.]
[But when the Black Order makes it's move, she has no choice. Faye will get a call on her phone. If she has any memories of her past life, the voice may be familiar.]
Hey.
I know you might not know me, but I heard you're a friend of Bladie's. I just wanted to check in. Make sure that you're safe.
[There's something so familiar about this voice, something that makes her chest tighten and her throat close up a little -- it was like when she met Blade. Just like him, this voice meant safety to her. Safety and trust.
Sometimes it was frustrating, to have memories just out of reach and yet so capable of wrapping around her heart like a vise.
When Faye takes a breath, it catches just a little, but her voice is steady enough.]
Just... just like with Blade, you sound familiar.
[The trust in her voice surprises even her, but clearly this means this mysterious voice is meant to be trusted.]
I'm safe for now... but people I love aren't. I don't know if I can just stay safe anymore, Kafka--
I... can't remember much... and I still can't remember who I was, but my heart is telling me that you and Blade are important to me.
[For all she was uncertain about, that wasn't one of them. Blade meant safety and family to her... and even just hearing this voice, Kafka meant the same.]
I won't be going alone. I don't know yet exactly what I can do or who I can go with, but I'll figure it out.
[The moment she sees anyone who intends to do something about this, she certainly plans to volunteer.
Faye is quiet a moment, thoughtful... and when she replies to the rest, her voice is quiet.]
I'd like that. If you know things about who I was... could you tell me?

[It brings a smile to her lips. She would deny it, of course, but part of her was truly happy.]
[Above all else, Kafka loved her family. And she’d do anything she needed to keep them safe. Anything.]
Even if you have to do something, do it with others. Don’t go alone.
[It’s an earnest warning, one she doesn’t like the feeling attached to.]
And when all this is over, I’ll treat you to a girl’s day. Take you on a shopping trip. We can talk then.
