[ someone’s looking a lot less composed than he did the last time he posted on the network. Alex just found out that Rachel Grey is gone from the City, possibly for good for all he knows, and he’s...not taking it well. ]
Darnit! Rachel’s got a lot of nerve, leaving us her dumb cats when she didn’t even trust us to look after ourselves! What do we know about taking care of animals? Our mom’s allergic! And Rachel didn’t even ask us before she left!!
[ of course, whatever he says, Alex is a lot angrier at himself than he is at Rachel. they’d had a fight over the network, and he never bothered to apologize about it--and now she’s gone. it’s not like Rachel had a choice about leaving or staying, and she probably won’t even remember it later, but Alex still feels like a first-rate jerk about what happened. after all, Rachel had only been trying to help at the time.
unfortunately, Alex is not very good at expressing those sorts of feelings whenever he’s in a bad mood. ...so naturally, he has defaulted to a full-on temper fit instead. ]
Well, I guess that’s her mistake, ’cause I certainly don’t want ’em! They’re not our problem! Find someone else to take Rachel’s dumb pets, Katie, I won’t--
[ suddenly Alex freezes, catching sight of something on his communicator: namely, he forgot to screen the message. it was only meant to be for his sister, not the entire network, but it's obviously too late now. ]
Oh, no. Oh, gosh, I’m sorry, I didn’t--that wasn’t supposed to be public. And it’s an awful thing to say besides. I’m so sorry.
[ he buries his face in one hand with a groan. perfect, just perfect. great. ]

I have no idea, Katie-bear. In fact, I don't even know if it's selfish of us to want her to come back. Maybe she's happier at home.

....You're probably right.
