Carly will end up getting the video call in the early afternoon, a few days into the new month.

"Hey," Steven says if she answers it, looking... well, kind of tired and concerned. "Are you somewhere that you we can talk privately? I've got-- something I can't really talk to anyone else about right now. If not, that's fine. I can text. Or you can call me back. Jack shouldn't be home for a while yet anyway and this-- well, it's nothing that won't keep for a week or two."
