[ There's no video feed here and even the audio quality isn't great. It's like there's a degree of interference. And then comes Cloud's grunt. ]

[ Oh boy oh boy... Somebody is not a happy shapeshifting daughter. "K--p Ni--na c-lm."

She's calm, alright. Super calm! Her dad has just been kidnapped, and she's not going to turn into the shadow dragon again.

But- ]

I'm definitely gonna break stuff, there will be no trying.

[ Nimona knows that's not what he was trying to say, but that's her promise. ]

[makoglow]

[ That doesn't sound like Nimona keeping calm. Out of all of the people he is concerned about with this, it's Nimona. ]

Don't do an---ing stu--d or that could g-t y-- h-rt.

[ Still being a "dad" even now. ]

[pinksidekicking]

[ It's not a shadow dragon kind of angry and upset, though. That's the important thing. ]

I'm gonna be the one dishing out hurt. And I won't get caught.

[ Does that count? ]

[makoglow]

Nimona.

[ That's sounding a lot like reckless behavior! Don't do anything without sticking by Zack or Tifa, please? ]

[pinksidekicking]

Dad. I've lived this long without getting into too much trouble.

[ Okay, she's going to be good at sneaking around and going unnoticed during the search. Then totally gonna be sticking close to them during the rescue. ]

[makoglow]

Tha-'s st-ll -

[ And now it just breaks off entirely. Static. The sound of Cloud's voice. All of it. Dead. Gone. ]

[pinksidekicking]

[ Nimona grips her shellphone so tightly that it almost cracks the screen with the pressure. She presses her forehead against it, like that will make any difference. This is the first time she's been in this situation, her adopted family just gone - taken to who knows where, and who knows what happening to him.

All her years, she's only had one dad... and she hates everything about this. ]

I'm going to find you, and make whoever took you pay for it. I promise.

[ The message doesn't get delivered, but maybe that's for the best - because her voice is shaky with complicated emotions, with an edge of danger to it. ]
