// Subject's tone: informal, slightly slurred. Speech cadence fluctuates throughout. Initial sarcasm degrades into emotionally compromised patterns. //

“Yeah, I didn’t think this would go through.
If you’re listening to this, congrats, your inbox finally forgot I’m blacklisted.
Or maybe you’re screening me.
Smart. You always were better at keeping things tidy.”
[pause]
“I’m not calling for a fight. I’m not calling for forgiveness either, so don’t flatter yourself. Just—
I was walking home. Alone. Again. And I thought...
What the hell. Let's try pretending I’m brave enough to use the commlink I keep swearing I’ve deleted.”
[pause — audio picks up background hum, possibly traffic or airspeeder drift]
“You know they all look at me. In the clubs. On the street. Like I’m art they can touch. Like I’m a story they can rewrite if they just try hard enough.
But they don’t see me. Not really.
They never hear the static. The silence. The flatline.”
[silence, then voice drops—tone changes]
“I haven’t felt anything real since Lothal.
You looked at me and it was like my ribs cracked open. Like my heart remembered it used to have a rhythm.”
[scoffed exhale]
“That scar... under your eye.
They didn’t tell me it was that deep. That permanent.
I told them to rough you up, not...
You weren’t supposed to keep it.”
[audio crackles]
“You weren’t supposed to carry me like that.”
[pause — five seconds of silence]
“I left with someone tonight. I don’t even remember their name.
It didn’t help.”
[breath catches—brief static spike]
“I told myself I wanted a distraction. But it was always you. It’s still you.
I hate that it’s you.”
[pause — voice falters slightly, recovers]
“I thought... maybe if I heard your voice again, it’d jumpstart something. Like defibrillating a corpse.
Stupid, right? Romantic, if you’re drunk enough.”
[soft laugh — bitter]
“You don’t have to call back.
You won’t.”
[faint inhale]
“Just delete this. Forget I—”
