ConstructionJoe: Hey, everyone. I’m back.

VirtualKing23: Joe! Good to see you, man! How are you doing?

ConstructionJoe: Doing better, all things considered. Still got one hand, but I’m using this new mind-typing keyboard. Pretty cool tech, actually. Feels weird, but I’ll get used to it.

MomOfThree: Joe, I’m so glad you’re okay! We were all so worried.

ConstructionJoe: Thanks. It’s been rough, but I’m trying to stay positive. Insurance is talking about maybe getting me a cyborg arm, but… it’s pricey. We’ll see how that goes.

SilverHawk: That’s good news, though, right? I mean, if they cover it, that could make a big difference.

ConstructionJoe: Yeah, it would. Just gotta jump through a few more hoops. But hey, I’m still here, right? Could’ve been a lot worse.

MomOfThree: Speaking of being here… I want to say thank you to Breaker. I haven’t seen him around, but he literally saved my life today.

VirtualKing23: Whoa, what happened?

MomOfThree: I was driving with my kids when the street just… collapsed. It was like the ground opened up out of nowhere. We would’ve been crushed if Breaker hadn’t shown up and gotten us out of there.

ConstructionJoe: Damn. That sounds terrifying. Glad you’re okay, MomOfThree.

SilverHawk: Yeah, that’s wild. Breaker really saved you?

MomOfThree: He did. One second we were falling, the next he was there, pulling us out. I barely even had time to understand what was happening.

CivicMind: Good for Breaker. We need more people like that in this city.

VirtualKing23: Sounds like he’s still got your back, even if he’s not around all the time. Maybe there’s hope for this place yet.

MomOfThree: I hope so. Today was a reminder that there are still good people out there, even when everything feels dark.

ConstructionJoe: Yeah, I’m starting to think the same. I mean, I’m using this keyboard and maybe getting a new arm. That’s gotta count for something, right?

CivicMind: Maybe. Or maybe it’s just another way for the system to keep us all limping along. But hey, if it works, take it.

VirtualKing23: Joe’s got the right attitude. Let’s hold onto the small wins when we get them.

MomOfThree: Agreed. I’m just grateful my kids are okay, and that there’s still someone looking out for us.
