Monarch? Come here.

[The hologram visibly got up as if to do so, only to be stopped.] No. Come here for real.

[It then flickered off, and the core hovered up and off of its pillow, floating over as instructed. Once it was close enough that Desi could reach it, she took it in her hands and pulled it to her chest.]

I know we haven't known each other too long, but it's already hard to imagine things without you here. [The week that Monarch was gone and GV was still recovering had basically been hell for her.] So if it's for him, or for you, I'll do anything I need to, even if that means getting hurt.

Think of it as proof of that.
