[The message starts with a few seconds of silence before Jo clears her throat.]

If you haven't gone out tonight, well- [She lets out a laugh that ends in a sigh.] I never know what to call this. [It's unseen because this is a voice message, but she gestures to the dark around her without thinking.]

I think there's a meteor shower going on. I've seen a bunch of shooting stars. [Jo is used to watching for movement. The extra flashes caught her attention and definitely distracted her from her mission.]

We could see more if there weren't so many trees. [She sounds a little wistful as she adds that. Jo doesn't dislike the trees, but she does miss the wide-open skies she grew up with. If she ignores the dark branches on the horizon, she can pretend she's back home on a car roof.]

You should look, it's nice.

Where's the clearest spot here? We gotta figure that out.

[ and, within seconds of asking that, an idea comes to mind: ] Oh! How about we head to the harbour dock thingy? That should give us enough space from the trees!

I'll meet you there. [She laughs before quietly adding-]

Thank you.
