[Video]

[The video opens on a shot of four, very large mechanical lions. Three of them - Red, Yellow and Black - all have large, circular barriers up. After a moment of radio silence, Pidge speaks up.]

They're gone. Shiro. Keith. Lance. I don't know when it happened. But the lions were like this when I woke up this morning. Their names are grayed out as well.

[There's a soft sound and the video wobbles a little.]

Futaba's not here, either. I haven't seen her since... Well, it's been a little while? But her name is grayed out too.

[That last sentence trails off, because she's not sure what to say. Everyone knows what it means. Everyone knows what happens when people aren't there anymore. She just wasn't expecting it to happen to her friends.]

I hate this. But I figured... I should tell people.

[It goes on for another couple of seconds, and then cuts off there.]

What about you?

What do you mean, "What about you"?

You know. Are you okay out there? [She doesn't want to add on your own, but mostly because she's not entirely sure where Baiken goes when she's not around.]

... I'm used to it.

But just because I am, doesn't mean others should be.

Maybe you shouldn't have to be used to it.

I'm used to people disappearing, but that doesn't mean I'm content.

You could always come here for a while.

I appreciate the offer kid, but you can't help who I am. "Maybe you shouldn't" isn't something that holds much meaning for me.

... But I might stop by. For the holidays.

No promises.

Hunk would've insisted you come.

[And they both know it. He also probably would've insisted she sit and let him feed her, but that was just how he is.]

Are you doing anything else for the holidays?

[ Bringing up Hunk was hardly playing fair, but it didn't make Pidge less right, either. She supposed... that was enough. ]

I don't do anything for Christmas, if that's what you mean. There is something I do every New Year, but I'm not sure I can do it here. But that's... not really a fun holiday activity, either.

[Look, she's never claimed to play fair.]

Oh yea. Do they uh, have Christmas where you're from?

[It occurs to her that Baiken's mentioned her home once, but that was a while ago and it was really only a brief mention.]

What do you do every New Year?

Christmas is a thing that happens, but it holds no meaning to me. In general, my people care more about the New Year.

As for that ritual... it's personal.

Fair enough. A lot of people aren't into Christmas.

Sorry. I was just curious.

I'm not upset, so there's no reason to apologize.

Good.

[It was hard to tell sometimes, though, and she figured safe was better than sorry in this instance.]
