[The voice of Molly Anderson once again greets the network, .]

Ah...! Hello again, everyone! I know it's been a while since I last made a post on the Network, and I realize a lot has probably gone on. I'm sorry for everything I missed, and if there's any way I can help with any of the trouble people have been having, I want to do so!

[Molly laughs, sounding more than a bit nervous.]

I didn't really say anything about this to everyone before, just a couple people, but... I've been talking with my aunt a lot. About being a Numbered, I mean. She's still nervous about a lot that has to do with it, and... W-well, I'm still not sure how she feels about everything, but she knows I'm a Numbered now, and that's good! She's okay with me doing the superhero thing, too, for a while.

... I guess now I've said that, I should introduce myself by my other name! I'm also Cure Heart, a magical girl, and I want to fight to protect everybody! And I guess that means leaving Locke sometimes! I'm ready to do that now!

...

[Her voice grows quieter for the moment.]

I've moved around a lot, but I've never done it on my own. And honestly it's pretty scary. A lot of you have moved all over the world, right? I was wondering if anyone had any advice...

Ah! Hello again, Raye!

[Whether it comes through or not, Molly does her best to sound friendly.]

Well, I'm just... trying to figure out how to prepare myself, you know? Mentally. Just doing things because they have to be done without dwelling on it does seem like Mana's style, though...

Dunno about her but that's just the way I've always done shit.

[She pauses a bit and then sighs.]

Look, word of advice, kid, you're not Mana. And I'm not sayin' that like it's a bad thing, I'm just saying you're you so if you're really wanting to step into all this bullshit just make sure it's cause it's what you want and not just what you think she'd do.

[Goddamn, that was... almost insightful?]

... I... I don't know if I'm doing this because Mana would do it. I want to follow her example.

When I transform, I feel like... I can do things I couldn't be. Like I actually have what it takes to change things for myself. And if I'm going to do that, shouldn't I do it in a way that helps people?

[There's a long pause on her end before she lets out a heavy sigh.]

I guess that's good enough. Besides, if you're anything like the rest of 'em I'm probably not gonna be able to talk you outta whatever you decide to do.

I'm pretty certain this is what I want to do! And I have my aunt's blessing, so...!

[guitar_case_vagabond]

Yeah, that'll have to do. Just make sure you don't do anything stupid.

[Wait. When the hell did she start lecturing people on acting responsibly?]

I mean... we've all been at this for awhile and you're younger than most of us were when we started. Just make sure you call somebody and don't rush into a fight on your own.

[abundantlove]

Of course! I mean, you've all inspired me from the start, so...

... A-ah, can I count you as one of those people I can call on?
