Oh, yeah, believe me, I am so glad to be back here, I can't even tell you! Going back to the U.S. was a very big thing, and mostly down. Not sure I really wanna go into it yet. And...yeah, officially now, I am on the outs with mine. Heh.

[Sam shrugs again, then.] That's one reason why I came here to the first place. I was always curious about Japan, everything! It's been pretty cool to be here. Not have to deal with the ties that bind and gag.

[She pauses, then.] Yeah, I heard about...that Disturbance as soon as I got back. I kinda feel bad for getting here after it was over, but I'm not sure how much I could've helped. Zeke told me a little, but not details.

[She lifts her hands to forestall any explanations.] I don't need to know anything though, except if Junna's okay. Haven't caught up to her yet, but I think I saw her here, so I mean, I'll go say hi in a bit and also ask her that myself, you know? But beyond that...congrats?

[Sam has had her ear pressed to the rumor mill, but from her understanding, this has been only good, so she figures that is in order!]
