Summary
It is rare to find understanding in this world. It is rarer still to further your understanding of yourself through the lens of another.
What comes after the eucatastrophe? Freedom that was once beyond all of them slowly becomes commonplace, and the bounds of possibility that closed in over cycles of decay show signs of weakening once more.
With fragile hope, Seven Red Suns and Five Pebbles both intend to make the best of it. No matter what else might come their way.

Summary
Video calling for the first time is an exciting step in any relationship formed over the broadcast network. As a mark of trust, it serves as the transition from occasional conversation partners to a deeper friendship. Suns, painfully aware of this, would prefer to not make a fool of themself in front of Pebbles.
That would be easier if there was not so much else on their mind.
