][ This feels like a blast from the past in the most unsettling way possible. Her sorta-boyfriend was deeply traumatized by a destructive nihilist once and she's spent a lot of time watching it eat him up inside.
Yet, or maybe because of it, she is curious about the ideological explanation. ]
You prefer voice calls? So do I, actually. Let's get to it, then.

[ The pick-up is instantaneous, for obvious reasons. The voice that comes through is a bit clearer than it was from the not!kitty bot, but the quality still isn't fantastic. ]
