Do you still wear the vest?

[so_many_pockets]

[...

fuck.]

No. I can't bear it.

how is this happening?

[maskirovka]

It’s probably best not to ask. Just accept it, instead.

[so_many_pockets]

I'm not so good at acceptance. But I'll try.

Are you... okay, wherever you are now?

[maskirovka]

I know. Neither am I. But sometimes…it’s necessary.

All things considered…I am. It’s quiet, at least. Lots of time for thinking, remembering. It’s also lonely, but I suppose that can’t be helped.

[so_many_pockets]

That's true.

Lots of time for thinking. Sounds awful.
I miss you.

[maskirovka]

Are you okay? I can’t imagine the last few years have been easy.

It’s not entirely pleasant, but it is what it is. I’ve tried to reach out before with no luck, but this time something worked and here we are. So I’m grateful for that.

I miss you, too. More than you can know.

[so_many_pockets]

No.

...But I am working on it.

You're not just stuck on that planet forever, are you?

More than I can know?
Bullshit.

[maskirovka]

Good. You’re strong, you’re brave. You’ll make it, sestra.

I’m…not really sure. It’s sort of like being in limbo; outside of time, maybe. Everything’s just always…grey. But there’s no struggle, no war, no cold. Just - quiet.

Okay, that’s fair. But at least we can be together this way, da? For now, at least.

[so_many_pockets]

I have not been - I was not either of those things for a long time.

Sounds boring. But not bad, necessarily.

да, I will take it.
