[ there's the sound of the ocean in the background, as well as a few voices, like a group of people are having a conversation nearby.
when karkat talks, it's faintly. he's trying to not be overheard. ]
Hey. Did you go over a waterfall? There were like, these weird seashells that had people on them, and I am pretty sure one of them was you going over a fucking waterfall? That is the opposite of staying safe goddammit Anya. God, why the fuck did you and Yuri have to be dragged into something like this? He was in the shells too.
[ there's a pause. more ocean noises. ]
My phone's dying. We were in the ocean earlier and all our shit got soaked, but we got gills and shit so we didn't drown? It was weird. But somehow we got brand new phones now that we're not underwater, but they still aren't charged because fuck us, am I right? Seriously though. Fuck us, and fuck all of the crap that we're being forced to do. This isn't fair? You deserve to be happy and get your career off the ground, not to be doing-- doing this. You don't deserve that, Anya.
[ he sounds angry at this point, his voice raising, but then karkat catches himself and lowers it again. ]
If I never see you again, I just want you to know that you're my best bro. Always. Thanks for always sticking up for me even when I don't deserve it.
