There is a brief pause filled with audible clicks and thuds, followed by the slightly echoey acoustics that come from someone recording audio in a large room. "Hello hello! You've reached Dr. Velocity! Feel free to leave a message or a video or whatever here, and I'll do my very best to respond promptly! And if it this is about the stickers, Ratchet, I didn't do it! Love and love and love!"

I suppose that all depends on just how much of the wrong I'm at fault for and what exactly is on fire.

[Velocity cycles her optics at him, not entirely certain how to take that but willing to give him the benefit of the doubt that it was a joke or that she just didn't understand the context. And besides...]

Can one decision be both? [She mumbles this into her knees] I did something that-

I don't know. I would do it again. But maybe that's the problem.
