[ Steve sounds like he's out of breath, like a man who's been running. For anyone who knows him from back home, you'll know how hard Steve needs to run in order to sound like this. ]

[ If he sounds firm, it's because he needs to be. He has to believe that it's not just him left. He has to believe that he didn't wake up in a new world, just to live through this again.

It's only after connecting to the network now, however, that Steve realizes he might be able to access its archives. ]

[ Update. Steve posts a second message roughly thirty minutes after his first one. ]

Thank you, to everyone who responded. For those who aren't aware of what's going on, there's an explanation in the archive. If you currently feel isolated. Alone. If the people around you have vanished. Find the nearest exit and keep moving until you see can people again. You will find them, and this feeling will pass.

Okay.... but what about right now?

[noble_sentiments]

[ He sighs, barely audibly, in frustration. He doesn't want to belabor this, but he also can't blame the man for asking a question Steve knows he'd ask himself. Momentarily, he can't quite decide what to share, or not. ]
