[audio] backdated to yesterday

[Anyone who talked to Will during his breakdown was probably nearby when he made this post, seeing as how he made it the second he got his D-Terminal, without even reading the information provided in it.]

[It opens with the soft feminine voice of his Gomamon in the background.]

Will, I don't think you can--

My name is Will Graham, and I--

[A pause and an audible swallow.]

I think I'm suffering a total mental break. I've been. Hallucinating for weeks, and my headaches have been getting worse and.

[Another pause.]

And now a seal is talking to me. I don't know where I am, but I need help.

Will, I think you're broadcasting, I keep trying to tell you, we don't have 911 he--

[The feed turns off.]

Seriously? I made sure I don't even have neighbors!

Doesn't that get lonely?

No, it doesn't get lonely!

[Yes it does. But only a little.]

You all...have your own rooms, if that helps.

[There's a long moment when the feed is silent, except for some concerned murmuring that's probably Clarice trying to comfort Will.]

[There's then some noisy clattering, and then Clarice's voice is no longer muffled by distance.]

Um, hello! This is Will's partner. He's... fishing through his pockets for something, I think, I don't know, I don't understand half the words he's saying. Do you think we could get our own place somewhere?

[There's a pause, then she whispers.]

I think he's really upset about being here.

[Oh. Oh dear. Why him? Why Cam?] I- I don't know. I know they're out there, but I...don't really know, where to look. The Damemon might help, but they, uh...cost money. ...The apartments. Not the Damemon.

What the hell's a Damemon?!

Um! Um! New problem! Are humans supposed to take large numbers of pills at once?

[EXTREMELY PANICKED LOOK.] Wha-- no, definitely not! That can-- that's bad!

Um! What do I do? He just took like... a whole bunch out of this little bottle and swallowed them! I didn't see how many!

[It was probably about 5. She's overreacting.]

Make him spit them out! Make him-- make him throw up, jump on his stomach, grab his-- uv-- uvula! [He remembered the word, wow, pressure helps his memory.]

[On the other end of the line, there's a thud as Clarice drops the d-terminal and jumps on her partner, who yelps. After that, there's the sound of a scuffle, and some loud swearing.]

[Let's just be glad Clarice has no idea what a uvula is.]

[Once it seems that Will has Clarice somewhat pinned, the talking resumes, though it's somewhat distant over the line.]

What the hell was that?

You were gonna make yourself sick!

By dry-swallowing advil-- I'm arguing with a talking seal about headache medicine.

Fuck.

[And there's still a voice coming from the D-Terminal.]

Did you get it out? Did he-- is he okay? Can you hear me?

[There's another moment of distant conversation.]

The boy on the d-terminal said that is was bad to take lots of pills!

[. . .]

Oh.

[There's a little bit of clattering as Will actually walks over to pick up the phone.]

Hey. It's... me. Look, I just took advil. For the headache.

[Honestly, it's hard to be mad at someone who wanted to make sure he didn't get hurt, after the past weeks of people pushing him into terrible mental situations.]

[Well, first of all Cam's relieved he's talking to him again. Second of all...]

...Oh. Uh. I thought... --never mind, sorry, I wasn't...thinking.

[Will's shaky sigh is audible over the connection.]

'Suicidal' isn't on my long list of current mental concerns.

[. . .]

Not hard to see where you got the idea, though.

[Cam is incredibly glad that this isn't video now, because he just winced, froze, and had to recollect himself.]

...can never be too...careful.

'm sorry I can't do more to help.

[Wait.]

[What was that. That was a very negative response to a reference to suicide.]

. . . Are you alright?

[The darn...thing that's been going on with him means he's incredibly candid, honest.

And he's only thankful that this time, it's not as candid as it could be.]

I'm alive.
