[Aggie looks - pretty close to upset when she shows up on the feed. There's some hints that she has been crying (puffy and reddened eyelids, etc.) and she's really struggling not to resume crying.

When she speaks, of course, the reason for this becomes painfully clear.]

I...I am aware that my uncle Jack was - b-better at socializing than I am, so...he's probably got more than a few friends who s-should be told this.

[She swallows and tries to continue, but her voice is shaking all over the place.]

... All evidence points to Uncle having been returned home. I am very sorry.

E-excuse me.

[She turns off the feed in order to get the next fit of tears out before anyone replies. Old habits die hard, after all...]

T-thank you...

[Her voice sounds a bit nasally right now. Not a surprise.]

It's the least I could do.

[...More importantly, considering he'd been hijacked, he never really heard from her since the Shadow incident...]

[There's a pause as she thinks about it- really thinks about it, instead of trying to just disengage like she normally does.

That moment of thought calms her down, and when she speaks next, she sounds a little calmer.]

I- am not sure. Uncle Jack is almost like a true parent to me, and I know that going home is not the same as dying, but...I had gotten used to him being here. However, not being alone, the fact that people are concerned...helps.

Is that strange?
