[005; audio; open]
[ There's no warning as the audio starts, and it seems very likely that River isn't actually addressing the network at large at all. It cuts in mid sentence, to the rustling sound of movement and near incoherent rambling from River. ]
-but it wasn't meant to go like this. What went wrong? Something went wrong, was it her calculations? The numbers twisted and broke and now so much is lost and how are they supposed to find out why? Pushed too hard and too fast, why did he let her try? Why did I try?
[ She stops talking very abruptly, exhales slowly, and then for the first time actually sounds like she's talking to the network, like it isn't just an accidental pick up of a private conversation featuring one. ]
She's sorry. She didn't- it wasn't meant to happen. So, so sorry.
[ Without any indication of who she's apologising to, she cuts the feed. ]

[Audio]
Okay means safe, in this case. In one piece. Not injured.
You keep apologizing. What happened?
[Audio]
Not all that coherent, anyway. ]
She broke him, tried to look and he snapped and he doesn't even know. How is she supposed to fix that?
[ And when she asks, her voice drops to something much more vulnerable, much more scared. She isn't aggressively snapping out retorts any more so much as actually asking the question, as if Emma could possibly have the answer. ]
[Audio]
[She lowers her voice as she does her best to try and piece together what River is talking about. They've never spoken before, which means that a hell of a lot is getting lost in translation, but damn it, she's trying.]
Who did you break? It was an accident. I get that. But if he needs help, I need to know who he is.
