during the bonus trek, over the scas

[ Inigo has been pretty good this mission. He knows how rough this whole situation is on Roland, so despite often going off with others or sometimes on his own, he's always made sure to check in with his train dad about it. Just a regular quick message over the SCAs, just to let Roland know that he's still doing fine, that everything is okay. Maybe it's the one thing he can do to make the other feel at ease.

So that's what he's doing now, trying to send Roland a message.

But as he selects the man's name from the list, there's no answer. Inigo knows the SCA is actually trying to connect, used enough to the thing by now to know when it is or isn't, but there's no answer. Roland isn't picking up.

.. maybe he's busy, Inigo thinks. But even as he waits a few moments and tries again, there's still no answer. And then not again when he tries again right after. And sure, Roland could be busy, but.. busy enough to ignore a call from him? Under their current circumstances? ]

Father..?

[ The word escapes Inigo's mouth, even though he knows Roland can't hear it, knows the call is not going through.

But what else is he supposed to do? Everything went relatively well up to this point. Well enough that Inigo was able to keep himself optimistic, think that somehow things would end up fine. Except now it's like something is starting to crumble away.

Where is Roland? Why isn't he answering? Is he in danger somehow, too precarious of a situation to be able to use his SCA? He can't suddenly be completely gone, can he? A few dozen of disaster scenarios all flash through Inigo's head. ]

Father, I.. I promised to not leave your side, that's why I was calling.. [ It's like his blood is freezing up inside of his veins. ] So why are you now the one who's gone..?

[ He clenches the arm his SCA is on, nails digging into the flesh to try and get his thoughts back together. ]
