(PHONE) Bow texts: So. I made a mistake. And you're probably the only one that will understand.

(PHONE) Glimmer Brightmoon texts: What happened?

(PHONE) Glimmer Brightmoon texts: I can help you hide the bodies.

(PHONE) Bow texts: So. You know about Entrapta. She... well. She's 15. She doesn't know about the war or well... anything outside Dryl.

(PHONE) Glimmer Brightmoon texts: ... OH. So she's... from... further back in the time... line? Wait, the war was going on then, too. How... how does she not... what?"

(PHONE) Glimmer Brightmoon texts: How isolated WAS she?!

(PHONE) Bow texts: You know what it was like when we met her! I can only imagine it was worse when she was a kid.

(PHONE) Bow texts: Anyway. I took her to Nurse Meiou. And as I'm telling the story, I'm realizing how badly I just screwed this girl's life up.

(PHONE) Glimmer Brightmoon texts: ... Do NOT let her near anyone who is like... has metal bits! And... really? I uhhh... wouldn't worry about it. We're going to fix all this, give her something sciency, she'll figure it out.

(PHONE) Bow texts: She's. Fascinated. With. A. Light Switch.

(PHONE) Bow texts: I'm scared to take her to see Tokyo. I may ask Rashmi for a favor.

(PHONE) Glimmer Brightmoon texts: OH, it'll be fiiiiiine. Let the girl have some gun. Give her like, a gameboy or something. It'll distract her for days. Probably.

(PHONE) Glimmer Brightmoon texts: FUN! LET HER HAVE SOME FUN! FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THAT IS HOLY DO NOT GIVE HER A GUN!

(PHONE) Bow texts: . . .

(PHONE) Glimmer Brightmoon texts: It's Entrapta, come on. Give her something to play with and she'll be happy. You know how lonely she is. Besides, she's got you now to talk nerd with her and you're like, the funnest guy I know.

(PHONE) Bow texts: I dunno. You seem to be having fun with that guy the other night.

(PHONE) Glimmer Brightmoon texts: Huh? Who? When? Wait, the stapler thing? Eh, I don't know. Like, that guy was kind of cute, but he was a bit clueless. I mean, he tried to give me the box he was guarding. I don't think that counts as 'fun', more kind of not paying attention."

(PHONE) Bow texts: Huh. Well okay. If Setsuna does what she did with me - she'll give Entrapta a laptop. I'm going to have to convince her not to take it apart and instead use it for research.

(PHONE) Glimmer Brightmoon texts: Do NOT let her find out about online ordering sites.

(PHONE) Bow texts: What did you do Glim?

(PHONE) Glimmer Brightmoon texts: What? I didn't do anything! I'm not touching dark energy, I promised, remember?

(PHONE) Bow texts: Then what was that the other night? And I mean the online ordering sites.

(PHONE) Glimmer Brightmoon texts: Riventon was making me do work, so he had the stapler thingy go off. And I mean... it's Entrapta. If she finds out she can order electronics to her, do you think she won't order EVERYTHING?

(PHONE) Bow texts: By Brightmoon... I think... I might be finally losing the butter off my toast.

(PHONE) Glimmer Brightmoon texts: Oh. Do you need me to get you some butter? I can like, teleport to the break room and probably grab some. Might be smarter to go to the market, though. Some of the food here creeps me out a bit."

(PHONE) Bow texts: Figure of speech!

(PHONE) Bow texts: I need to set down the phone to herd Entrapta. BRB.

(PHONE) Glimmer Brightmoon texts: Oh dear heavens, good luck. Let me know when back. OH! And what did you think of my outfit? Do you agree? Did you think I counted as 'hot'?

(PHONE) Bow texts: Okay she's settled and...

(PHONE) Bow texts: I mean... you looked great. You always do though. And just... I mean. You.

(PHONE) Glimmer Brightmoon texts: Oh... okay. Yeah. I guess. I did work pretty hard on that one.

She didn't type the next part, but she was thinking it. Just great, huh. Not hot. Just great...

(PHONE) Bow texts: You did! And I could tell! Just... you're supposed to be the enemy. I don't know if I get to tell you if you're hot.

(PHONE) Glimmer Brightmoon texts: Why not? I mean, I've told Catra she's hot and like, we've been enemies for years. And I tell people you're hot all the time and we're kind of enemies for now. And I mean, like, err, nevermind. It's okay if you don't think I'm hot, just, well, I was like, ha ha ha, right? Me, hot? Nobody had ever said that about me before, I thought it was funny. And silly, you know? Like... ha ha! How ridiculous is that?

(PHONE) Bow texts: It was the truth though. And I wasn't the one to say it. I need to finish taking care of Entrapta. I'll text you back as soon as I'm able.

(PHONE) Glimmer Brightmoon texts: Ah ha ha what part was true? The silly? Or-- oh! Right, yes, take care of Entrapta, yes. Please. Uhhhh, good luck! Nice talking to you. Miss you. Bye.
