"Um. Kozukata Yuri."
"At the tone, please record your message. when you are finished recording, you may hang up, or press 1 for more options. To leave a call back number, press 9."
[Lee feels a strong sense of contentment and a smile stretches across his face despite everything. He does not dwell on his feelings in this moment or what they mean. He just knows that he cares for Yuri so much... and he feels calm.]
I believe that I will. You do not need to worry, Yuri-san. Your words... They are making me smile again. I- I believe that I will soon be able to rest peacefully.
But... Will you be able to get back to sleep, after this?
[Yuri hesitates a moment, closing her eyes as if testing to see just how easy or hard sleep will come. She feels pretty awake right now, but she has no doubt it won't last.]
I think so. Maybe not right away, but I'll get back to sleep. Don't-- [But she cuts herself off and makes a small, amused noise.] I'd say 'don't worry about,' but you'll probably do that anyway. But it'll be fine, I promise.
I... I see. [There's something that sounds like a warm chuckle.] I apologize, but I feel certain that I will still worry for you. B-but... I believe in you, too. And I will hope that your dreams are pleasant and peaceful and- and full of life. [Just like her smile.]
