"Yes, sorry for the three month hiatus. I finished all my classes! Somehow passed all my finals, too."
"That's great to hear!"
"How are things on your end?"
"Not that great."
"What's going on?"
"Right now we're under a cease fire. I'm not sure how long it'll last. The tension is suffocating."
"Is that what your last mission was about? Declaring a peace treaty or something?"
"Yes."
"I thought you couldn't talk about this kind of stuff."
"I thought you didn't like talking about your father."

"So, how was graduation?"
"Sweaty. I literally wanted to jump off a cliff."
"Please don't do that."
"I won't. But hey, I really hope the peace lasts. Especially if and when the new feature comes out."
"Agreed. I hope it lasts too."
