Numb.
Eyes unfocused.
Head throbbing.
Ears ringing.

No, there's real sound.
Answered.
"Hello?"
Tentative voices.

"Sister?"
I voice I haven't heard in months.
"Brother? What time is it?"

"...9:30 my time. So. Oh, 12:30 your time."
First greeting in months.
Emotions running haywire.

I give up.
I give in.
No anger, only happiness.
