Look, I'm still getting this whole thing to sink in. I still can't really wrap my head around it, but I have to know one thing.

Is there a little girl out there? Her name's Clementine. She's eight, has a baseball cap on with the letter D on it.

And Clem, if you're there, please tell me.

[thewalkingdad]

Yeah, I suspect I'm not the only one who's ever needed to take all of this in.

It's... all right. Thank you for letting me know.

[audio]

[miiracles]

I'll let you know if I see a girl like that. It's likely she isn't here though... she would have contacted you by now, I think. [ Since every Transport is given a communicator at the start. ]

[audio]

[thewalkingdad]

I think you're right about that.

She's easy to spot with her hat, but she might also be carrying a broken walkie-talkie with her. So, keep it in mind if you happen to see her.

[audio]

[miiracles]

A broken walkie-talkie? What for?

[audio]

[thewalkingdad]

It's personal for her. Reminds her of her parents.

[audio]

[miiracles]

...I see. I'll keep that in mind.

If she isn't here now, she might turn up later. It might take awhile. Maybe a few months, or more.

[audio]

[thewalkingdad]

Does that happen often?

[audio]

[miiracles]

I'm not too sure. It's really random. You might be sent back home before that even happens and you can see her again there.

[audio]

[thewalkingdad]

I had a feeling it was that way. Thank you anyway.

[audio]

[miiracles]

You're welcome. Is there anything else that you'd like to know?

[audio]

[thewalkingdad]

Hm. How about your name? I'm Lee.

[audio]

[miiracles]

Mii? Ah, right... my name is Rika. Rika Furude. Pleased to meet you, Lee.

[audio]

[thewalkingdad]

Rika, thank you for being so helpful. Are you doing all right here?

[audio]

[miiracles]

I'm doing all right. [ Kind of an apathetic kid in this sort of situation though. ] Despite being at war, it's better for me to be here than my own home.

[audio]

[thewalkingdad]

I think I can understand a little bit what you mean. Are you happy here?

[audio]

[miiracles]

...I think I'd be happier if a familiar face from home were here. It's been months.

[audio]

[thewalkingdad]

I can understand that feeling.

I'm not gonna make you any promises, but I hope you find a familiar face. If you don't, then I hope you're happy with your new friends at least, okay?

[audio]

[miiracles]

...okay. Thank you. [ It took her awhile to get her mind to start thinking of them as friends, but... ] My new friends here... they're really nice.
