[She quiets, considering, even as she repositions herself to more comfortably lean against Wing, shoulder pressed to his armour.]
I was getting ready to move cross-country, so there's that. Manitoba was meant to be a short stay, something like two years tops, just to see what things were like on the easterly end. I liked it, but I never got too attached since I knew from the start I wouldn't stay. The suddenness isn't an issue; I'm adaptable. The, the severance, though... yeah, that's the bad bit.
[Sam abruptly draws a deep breath and swallows hard, but otherwise manages to keep her composure. She has a handle on it now, and in that moment was just making sure.]
If I could just let someone know I'm okay, it would be a lot better. Got to see everybody not long before I arrived, which was good. Really good. We got all the goodbyes and 'I love you's and the 'be safe's in, so I got no regrets for the last things I said, but goddamn my parents have got to be sick over what might've become of me. That's what's kept me up nights, more than anything else.
